What happens in The Odyssey trailer?

Much like the original Greek story, The Asylum’s The Odyssey trailer shows King Odysseus as he sets sail for Ithaca to reunite with his wife. Along the way, he faces several treacherous encounters. The Asylum’s movie is directed by Marcel Walz from a screenplay written by Joshua Pruett. The movie stars Dominic Keating, Myrom Kingery, and Morgan Flanagan.

The Odyssey is one of two ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer, a Greek poet who is also credited as the author of the Iliad and who is often seen as one of the most influential and important authors in human history.

The Odyssey follows the story of the Greek hero Odysseus, king of Ithaca, as he journeys home after the Trojan War. Presumed dead, Odysseus’ wife Penelope and son Telemachus contend with various suitors who compete for Penelope’s hand in Odysseus’ absence. The Odyssey is thought to have been written sometime in the 8th or 7th century BC and is one of the most important works in literary history.
