Warner Brothers to make 'Ulysses'

[GreenScar]

This could be good. I wonder if they'll write in the Sirens (and who they would cast )

Warners Bros. has nabbed the spec "Ulysses" by Ann Peacock and Jonathan Liebesman.

Gianni Nunnari ("300") is producing. Project is described as a tentpole and is eyed as a directing vehicle for Liebesman.

Story centers on Greek lit hero Odysseus, king of Ithaca, who returns to his island after 20 years of fighting the Trojan Wars only to find his kingdom under the brutal occupation of an invading force, which he ultimately defeats.

Peacock's writing credits include "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," "Nights in Rodanthe" and "Kit Kittredge: An American Girl."

Liebesman, whose directing credits include "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning," has been tapped to helm Columbia Pictures' apocalyptic thriller "Battle: Los Angeles," which is being produced by Neal Moritz.
