Grok releases AI-generated first seven minutes of The Odyssey
Understand the story
Three months ago, Elon Musk announced that Grok would produce a full-length "historically accurate" film version of The Odyssey. On October 26, 2026, Grok, in collaboration with Wonder Studios and director Dev Walker, released the first seven minutes of what was called "Episode 1". TechCrunch's verdict on the footage: individual shots can be almost indistinguishable from reality, but overall it lacks artistry and emotional tension, falling far short of Nolan's live-action The Odyssey — which, after its release this July, sold out IMAX showings for months. Currently only the first seven minutes of Episode 1 have been released; the full-length film has not yet been released.
