The Verge reports on Odysseus: The Fall, a new retelling of The Odyssey made entirely with AI and released by the AI firm Fountain 0. The film runs about 2.5 hours and was written and directed by company cofounder Ash Koosha, who also provided his likeness for the title character and created all of the music. The review notes the film’s credits are very short.
The piece frames the release against Christopher Nolan’s live-action take on The Odyssey, which performed well at the box office and drew renewed interest in the classic story. By contrast, The Verge describes the AI-made version negatively. Fountain 0’s only prior credit is another AI film, Dreams of Violets, which screened at Tribeca earlier this year.
Why it matters
The release is an example of feature-length filmmaking produced entirely with AI tools, testing how such work is received relative to traditional productions.
