Warners wins epic 'Odysseus' bidding war


April 24, 2009 Warners is going back to ancient Greece, winning a major spec script bidding war to pick up "Odysseus," written by Ann Peacock, with Jonathan Liebesman attached to direct. The story centers on the legendary hero Odysseus, famed king of Ithaca, who returns to his island after 20 years of fighting the Trojan Wars, only to find his kingdom under the brutal occupation of an invading force. The studio also is about to begin production on a remake of "Clash of the Titans," starring Sam Worthington, Ralph Fiennes and Liam Neeson, which tells tales based on ancient Greek myths.
