Grok Imagine released a seven-minute Odyssey episode made with Wonder Studios and director Dev Walker, following an earlier promise of a feature-length film.
Grok Imagine posted a seven-minute opening installment of an AI-generated adaptation of Homer’s “The Odyssey” on October 23, 2026. The release was presented as “Episode 1” of an Odyssey series and was created in collaboration with Wonder Studios and director Dev Walker, according to the announcement cited by TechCrunch.
The short video follows an earlier statement by Elon Musk that Grok would produce a full-length, “historically accurate” movie based on the epic. The published clip is seven minutes, rather than a feature-length film. The announcement invited viewers to comment on whether they wanted a detailed account of how it was made; it did not provide a release schedule for further episodes or confirm a full-movie timeline.
TechCrunch’s review describes scenes of characters sailing and says some shots could appear realistic at a glance. The outlet also notes that the dialogue is not in ancient Greek and that the sequence relies on narration to deliver background before showing characters speaking. Those observations are the publication’s assessment of the footage, not a technical evaluation of Grok Imagine’s generation process.
The piece contrasts the AI-made clip with Christopher Nolan’s separately produced “The Odyssey,” which TechCrunch says was released in July and filmed across six countries with a cast and crew numbering in the thousands. That comparison underscores the different production approaches, but the new Grok release itself is limited to the initial seven-minute episode. The available announcement offers no verified production-cost figures, technical workflow details, or confirmation that a longer version is in production.
