I’m struggling to think of any major films that have covered their specific myth in-depth, although characters do often appear in large ensemble movies that delve into mythology, such as the films based on the books by Rick Riordan (Percy Jackson). A great, character-focused take on a number of mythological creatures is the web novel ‘Asterion’ – a really in-depth and emotional retelling of the Minotaur story, seen from his own perspective, exploring his identity and the events that unfold within the Labyrinth.

Moon goddesses and giant hunters are really underutilized for cameos. Only Artemis really got to show up in any kind of meaningful way in Age of the Gods (2021). The rest are all just Easter eggs, like the constellation Orion appearing in Moana. Really, though, the only way I get to feel their full feels is replaying the Hades game and all the juicy lore to their relationship. Maybe in his next film, James Cameron could swap out the blue aliens and make a Greek tragedy instead?

For a long time, Greek mythology has been one of my favorite subjects to learn about while growing up. One of the stories in particular stands out as being especially tragic: that of Orion and Artemis. As of yet, there aren’t many films about either hunter, but their stories often make an appearance in movies that have no relation to Greek mythology, such as in Immortals (2011), where the goddess Artemis makes a cameo appearance. In the 2014 live action film Hercules, Orion is mentioned by name as one of the great hunters of mythological Greece.

One of the most interesting attempts to tell their story is the anime Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas, in which the battle for control of Orion’s armor is one of the main plot points. It’s shocking that there hasn’t been a big Hollywood epic that brought these two together for a dramatic adventure, possibly featuring Artemis for a few moonlit hunting scenes and the battle with Scorpio. For now we have to get by with deep YouTube dives into the lore of the constellations and the occasional amateur animation.

I want to see cosmic, divine drama in the form of a new story — a sort of ‘Percy Jackson’ take on the myth of Orion and Artemis. But instead, all of the references to the two I can find are pretty much obscure. A 1981 Italian film called Orion and the Dark features a pretty strange mix of myths, and Artemis appears in various forms throughout the Wonder Woman comics, but not often in films. There is, however, an excellent short animated film called Artemis and Orion by Seoro Oh that captures the downbeat tone of the two characters.

Have been sifting through adaptations of various myths and legends to find those about Artemis and her ilk. Of course, the rather excellent Pathfinder from 2007 has Orion-esque scope and ambition but the real treat is an audiobook, Artemis: Wild Goddess of the Hunt by George O’Connor, a rather fascinating exploration of this female huntress. How great would it be to see Greek gods on screen? The TV series ‘Troy: Fall of a City’ tempted us with their portrayal and we can only hope that the rumored DCEU project ‘Gods and Mortals’ gets to bring these characters to the big screen.

What movies are based on the synopsis of Iliad and Odyssey?

11 Answers2025-07-08
Has anyone noticed the element of “nostos” or “homecoming” in films? Like in the “Odyssey” where all the characters search for home in different ways. Searchers is a western about an old veteran searching for his niece, but in the end he cannot return home. Finding Nemo is a story about a father searching for his son all over the ocean. It’s a nostos story for kids too. The ‘Iliad’ is about ‘kleos’ or glory. Films such as ‘Platoon’ and ‘Full Metal Jacket’ look at the ‘glory’ of war through the eyes of young men searching for it, hoping to find it or to even survive. So rather than watch all of the movies about the actual Trojan War, you can look at films that are thematic cousins to ‘The Iliad’. The setting of Troy is not really that important in the poems of Homer. The specific stories he wrote about expressed a deeper human experience than just a couple of specific wars.

Does Replay have a movie adaptation?

12 Answers2026-01-14
Man, I wish 'Replay' had a movie adaptation! Ken Grimwood's novel is such a mind-bending gem—it’s about a guy who keeps reliving his life over and over, each time trying to fix things. The book’s got this existential depth mixed with thriller vibes, and I always thought it’d make a killer film. Imagine the montages of different eras, the emotional rollercoaster of failed do-overs, and that haunting ending. But nope, no movie yet. Hollywood’s sleeping on it, though I could totally see someone like Christopher Nolan or Denis Villeneuve crushing it. Maybe one day? Until then, the book’s a must-read for anyone who loves time loops with soul. Funny thing is, 'Replay' feels like it inspired a ton of stuff—'Groundhog Day,' 'Russian Doll,' even 'The Midnight Library'—but nothing’s quite nailed that mix of desperation and wonder Grimwood did. The closest we got was maybe 'Source Code,' but even that’s more action-y. If you’re craving that 'what if I could redo my life?' itch, grab the book and mourn the adaptation that never was.

Are there any movies about the Fae King?

3 Answers2026-05-26
Movies about a Fae King? Not really. Some movies include the Tuatha Dé Danann, the mythic rulers of Celtic legend, in their stories. The Secret of Kells includes several of them, as fae adjacent characters. Another movie with a fae ruler is Hellboy II: The Golden Army. In this film Nuada, an elven prince, is a silver-tongued fae ruler who wants war. In Thor: The Dark World the dark elf Malekith tries to rule the world with cold, otherworldly tyranny. In fact, there aren’t any definitive films about a single Fae King, largely because their wild and often unpredictable stories would not map easily onto a linear plot structure. Legendary Fae are extremely mercurial characters and perhaps cinema developers are fearful of the audiences’ inability to deal with them.

Does The Testament have a movie adaptation?

It’s probably for the best that there is no movie adaptation. If there were, the book’s famously ambiguous ending would be resolved one way. The whole debates over the plot, characters’ motives, and final line would be brought to a close and thrown into concrete. It’s half the fun of the book in the first place. The problems of the plot, the book’s biggest virtues, are left unsolved. Some questions are better left unanswered. It’s these very ambiguities which are the book’s most intriguing quality, and that’s been preserved by the lack of an adaptation. Movies are by their nature resolving. They offer closure where none was necessary.

What movies are based on the Icarus and Daedalus myth?

9 Answers2025-07-20
Old practical effects from that ‘Clash of the Titans’ scene. Fall was done with wires, set against a painted backdrop. It looks ghastly today but so much credit is due to the people who made it. Trying to convey a myth to the screen before the advent of CGI was never going to be an easy thing to do. I suspect these days it would be churned out as some highly polished CGI sequence, all soulless and without any of the hand-made imperfections that somehow seemed to add character to the antiquated, rough attempts to translate myth to the screen.

Are there any movies based on the wings of fire books?

7 Answers2025-05-19
I wonder if the anthro dragon design is a problem for the film. They’re not standard Western dragons or Eastern dragons. They’re bipedal with quite expressive faces and their wings function as additional arms at times. I think this look would be difficult to animate in a believable animal-like manner and achieve sufficient ferocity whilst still being expressive. It may be that test footage did not look quite right and therefore needed reworking and thus extra time. There are countless other behind-the-scenes decisions that go into deciding whether or not to make a movie, and it’s all mostly a series of intricately interconnected choices regarding a movie’s design, tone, and technology. Perhaps one of the largest decisions made was that the core visual style for the film just wasn’t working, and therefore the entire production of the film stalled. This concept art could give a lot of insight into why the film has yet to be released.

What are the best movies inspired by the Iliad?

12 Answers2026-07-29
Failures. There was a 1985 film The Warrior and the Princess or something like that? It’s been so long since I saw this film that I have not been able to remember the name of it. It was made on a low budget, badly dubbed, and focused on a muscleman hero who I believe was called Ajax in the film. These sort of B-movies are a sort of graveyard of Iliad-inspired failures. As cultural artifacts they are fascinating because they reveal that this story has been in the commercial psyche all along and has just been waiting to be exploited. Watching these films today shows how failed they were at attempting to bring the Iliad to the screen. Without the poetry, complex characters and tragedy of the original, all that is left is a simple revenge movie set in leather skirts. They serve as a contrast to the truly failed attempts at making these sorts of films that actually tried to make something of the material.

Will 'The Measure' be adapted into a movie?

9 Answers2025-06-19
And what if the best way to realize this story was as a stage play? Minimal set, focus on the actors and the words, the boxes could be made of cardboard and paper. The changes of time could be indicated by a change of lighting and costumes. The intimate and philosophical character of the dialogue would in a theater be highlighted in all its aspects. The audience could even be given a small box or a piece of string when they arrive, and so become part of the play. Every story doesn’t need to be a big film. Some stories will thrive in a much smaller, more imaginative space. The ideas in Passage can be had directly by an audience in a theater, without resorting to the paraphernalia of spectacle normally used in film to ease the burden of dialogue-heavy stories. The play could have a great off-Broadway run or even a run in London’s West End, and then later a more adventurous film version made of it. Sometimes scaling down is the best way to do justice to a story.

Are there any movie adaptations of 'Theo of Golden'?

8 Answers2025-06-29
The idea of constant search for an adaptation belittles the medium itself. A book is more than a blueprint for a movie. It is a complete medium of entertainment in itself. The unique prose and unique pacing and unique inner thoughts of a novel is its medium. And that is art in itself. So asking ‘when is the movie going to come?’ is actually devaluing the novel as a medium of entertainment. It reduces the novel to being an incomplete medium until it is adapted to another medium. This way of thinking is perpetuated by a very visual culture. But that doesn’t mean that we have to think that way too. ‘Theo of Golden’ is a complete work of art as a novel series. And it doesn’t need a movie adaptation to be validated. It stands on its own merit and is measured by the amount of joy it brings to its readers and the community it has created. Let’s celebrate the fact that ‘Theo of Golden’ is a great book.

Does 21xx have a movie adaptation?

3 Answers2026-05-28
I’ve seen no movie adaptation of “21xx” and hope that 21xx is on the cusp of cult status. The movie could have such a great aesthetic to it (i.e. cybernetic body parts, etc. in a holographic world of advertisements. The wet rainy dark alleys are all here too). I wonder who could adapt 21xx to the big screen, possibly Denis Villeneuve (for his darker deconstructions) or the Wachowskis (to further mind-bend the movie). I hope Hollywood is aware of this soon so that some human can write an adaptation before the AI algorithm does.
