Ralph Fiennes as Odysseus and Juliette Binoche as Penelope in The Return
The Big Picture An odyssey is coming to an end this fall. The English Patient stars Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche reunite as mythological lovers Odysseus and Penelope in The Return. Deadline reports that the film will be released in theaters on December 6.
The film stars Fiennes as Odysseus, who returns after a twenty-year absence to his home kingdom of Ithaca. However, much has changed since he departed to fight the Trojan War; his palace and his ever-faithful wife, Penelope, and under siege from a bevy of uncouth suitors, who want her and the kingdom. Those suitors also plan to eliminate Odysseus and Penelope's son, Telemachus .
Who Is Odysseus? Famed for his cunning, Odysseus was the king of Ithaca, a Greek island kingdom. He is called upon to liberate the beautiful Helen, the intended bride of fellow king Menelaus, from the city-state of Troy, to which she had been abducted by Paris. The war raged on for a decade, keeping Odysseus from home and hearth, until Odysseus devised his greatest ruse: the Trojan Horse.
Uberto Pasolini directed The Return, and co-wrote it with John Collee and the late Edward Bond . Pasolini also produced the film with James Clayton, Roberto Sessa, and Konstantinos Kontovrakis. Executive producers on the film include Fiennes, Giorgos Karnavas, Torsten Poeck, Andrew Karpen, Kent Sanderson, Nicholas Sandler, and Keith Kehoe.
