Despite Wilson’s dissatisfaction with the film adaptation, Nolan’s movie achieved a record-breaking $264.1m worldwide opening weekend and caused UK sales of Wilson’s original translation to surge by over 1,000 per cent.
Can’t imagine what the motivation behind it is…
Retranslate…
Is she also writing the novelization?
Kind of have to admire how funny she’s made all of this.
There is going to be a bonus chapter where Odysseus dreams he’s a character in a film and played by Matt Damon. Translating that never made sense - up to now. 
I hear Nolan has stated that he would be ashamed having anything to do with it.
Often happens. Sarah Ruden redid her well-received translation of The Aeneid. I think Wilson’s work on The Iliad made her aware of where whe could improve on her earlier translation of The Odyssey.
D.W. Griffith never stopped tinkering with INTOLERANCE–to the point that the Museum of Modern Art locked him out so he could not alter their print any further.
So, why didn’t she do it right the first time, then?
Ask Mr Lucas about it 
I get it. They need to spread optimism. And it is a good sign that many people decided to still go to the cinema.
But how healthy is cinema really if only Spider-Man and Toy Story 5 saved the day? Yes, the outlier was „The Odyssey“ which overperformed spectacularly. But even that was a sequel in its way, the next from the Nolan brand. And the horror films, yes, they were pretested as internet sensations, too.
And while it is fun to see other sequels and comic book heroes bomb, too, look for all the original stand-alone movies this summer.
Right. The very few underperformed or bombed.
The lesson here is a sad one: only brands and IPs have a chance anymore, and they don’t have to be good movies („Prada 2“) to succeed, they just have to look glitzy and feature fan favourites.
The state of cinema is the equivalent of a dumb billionaire after the umpteenth plastic surgery grinning like the Joker.
We’ll see! I remember when I was a teenager I only watched Bond movies until my friends invited me to go see Hot Fuzz, dangling the casting of Timothy Dalton in front of me to get me to go. After that movie and cinema experience completely knocked my socks off for a list of reasons (including the fact that Dalton is superb in it) I began to venture further afield and go to more movies, increasingly becoming more adventurous with the subject matter and being rewarded for it time and again with memorable experiences. My hope is that as the younger crowd finds joy in watching their favorite superhero fair on the big screen, they may similarly feel inclined to seek out other experiences like I did.
One can hope, anyway.
They would have to seek those out on streaming or physical media because the real interesting stuff of earlier times is rarely shown on the big screen anymore.
But, as you say, hope is always a good thing. Even if it is the one with the feathers.
