“Odysseus will not leave my ocean alive.” The Asylum is here to ruin your week with their latest awful B-movie spoof of another upcoming movie this summer. As usual. Because there is no more copyright to worry about with Homer, they’re presenting their own version of The Odyssey. The Aslyum’s latest take on this classic story is also literally called The Odyssey, playing against Christopher Nolan’s epic adaptation of The Odyssey out in theaters this July. This version stars Dominic Keating as Antinous, Myrom Kingery as Odysseus, Morgan Flanagan as Penelope, Llana Barron, Patrick Byrnes, Jordan Iverach, Angelo Kern, and Tony Wood. It looks extremely bad in every possible way, of course that’s expected, with some hideous monsters & shenanigans. I’m surprised they’re still making these (covered in the doc Mockbuster), but I guess some people out there are paying to watch them. This is also packed with atrocious AI footage galore, which makes it look even worse. At least all the actors are real. But how much longer will they last…
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Marcel Walz’s The Asylum’s The Odyssey, from YouTube:
King Odysseus (starring Myrom Kingery) is finally returning home after ten years of intense fighting and bloodshed in the Trojan war. But his arduous journey to get back to his beloved is fraught with dangerous monsters and perilous trials for more treacherous than he ever imagined. The Odyssey is directed by genre B-movie filmmaker Marcel Walz, of many movies including Tortura, Schlaraffenhaus, Plastic, Raw: The Curse of Grete Müller, Seed 2, #funnyFACE, Blood Feast, Blind, Rootwood, That’s a Wrap, Pretty Boy, Jurassic Reborn, Brute 1976, The Anacondas, Shark Thrash, and Master of the Universe. The screenplay is written by Joshua Pruett. Produced by David Michael Latt, David Rimawi, Paul Bales. Made by The Asylum. The Asylum will debut Walz’s The Odyssey direct-to-VOD on July 3rd, 2026 – it’s available to watch now.
