There I was, minding my own business, trying to watch football, and right in front of me drops another trailer for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.Just when you thought the upcoming adaptation of The Odyssey couldn't get more ambitious, the director has thrown a "La Flame" sized curveball at the audience: Travis Scott.Let's dive in. - YouTubewww.youtube.comA Voice for the AgesOkay, I was all in when I heard Travis Scott's voice singing the praises of Odysseus. It was like everything I had ever in English class and better than I could have even imagined.So how did this partnership come to be?Scott famously collaborated with Nolan on the Tenet soundtrack with the track "The Plan," but this marks his significant leap onto the silver screen under Nolan’s meticulous direction.In the teaser, he appears in a scene alongside Tom Holland’s Telemachus and Jon Bernthal’s Menelaus. He's clad in period-defying but striking attire and wielding a staff, and delivers a haunting line that sets the stage for the fall of Troy: “A war, a man, a trick — a trick to break the walls of Troy. It’s burning, screaming to the ground.”Travis Scott's gravelly delivery adds a modern intensity to Homer’s ancient verses, and it got me so very excited to see how Nolan handles direct translations of the text in the movie.It's hard to tell just how big a role Scott landed, but it left me excited to see more.
