There's going to be a "The Odyssey 2" isn't there?

Edit: I'm glad to see at least 3 people got the joke. For the rest of you

SpoilerThe Odyssey is adapted from a book and there was no sequel to it! As others have pointed out, The Iliad is more of a prequel.

    Who could forget interstellar 2 and Inception 2.

    A. It was a throw-away joke B. Inception made $820k since release and Interstellar made $760. Earning $1.1B in a couple of weeks is a different ballgame. 3. See point #1

    I think you’re talking about the Iliad.

    And probably yes.

    The Iliad happened before the odyssey, actually. And he definitely won't make an Iliad movie because the trojan war was already covered in the movie.

    I know it happens before the Odyssey, actually. And I fully understand it happens towards the end of Trojan War. There’s still quite a lot of story involving hero’s and gods and saying he definitely won’t is quite presumptuous.

    It makes perfect sense. Aktually

    Frankly there should have been one planned to begin with. If the first movie was everything after the horse and before his return to Ithica, and the second movie was about his return and what all happens there, maybe the pacing wouldn't have felt so rushed and they could have done any amount of environmental story telling whatsoever.

    I don't think there was enough to do a LotR treatment. Not while keeping interest from the first part to get people back for the second. I don't think the pacing was rushed as much as disjointed with flashbacks by necessity to explain why things had happened. Adaptations to visual media is difficult. We see it in every book brought to the screen. Maybe if we hadn't lost all the other stories in between.
