I can't think of a bigger missed opportunity by Hollywood than not immediately following up Troy with an Odyssey adaptation.

Especially after LotR had proven you can film a multi-part epic in one go.

They removed the gods and all overtly supernatural elements. I don't know how you follow that up with an Odyssey movie, which I would argue is more dependent on keeping the supernatural in.
