So Christopher Nolan's movie, The Odyssey, it's still bringing in a ton of money at the box office after its massive opening weekend. voice-verified

The film was released, by the way, by Universal Pictures, which is under NBC News' parent corporation. voice-verified

But it is also dealing with right-wing backlash, which started before the release. voice-verified

People like, for instance, Elon Musk, are complaining that the movie's diverse casting is not, quote-unquote, historically accurate. voice-verified

Now, to be clear, The Odyssey was and remains fiction, regardless so. voice-verified

There are now AI-generated alternatives coming out. voice-verified

One is set to be released later this summer. voice-verified

And Elon Musk says he's going to have his AI program, Grok Imagine, make its own version by the end of the year. voice-verified

Great to have you. voice-verified

Are they trying to now capitalize on this conservative backlash? voice-verified
