Here's a screenshot posted online from one of the unedited behind the scene shots
Theres more snippets here from vibrant or at least less grim looking scenes that they then changed & muted the colours, but i can't take screenshots.
We also get our first look at our bard who will not just narrate but be IN the movie, as an Ithacan apparently.
And I know y'all are sitting there thinking nothing in this movie looks Hellenic because you dont have enough trust in the superior vision of our genius director, but hush, have no fear, I'm here to put your worries at ease by delivering the words of the visionary himself, which i found again while looking for the screenshot a few minutes ago & it finaly clicked what his genious meant
“With fantasy, there’s always the risk that the audience disconnects, just as they often devalue a dream sequence. On Inception, the entire grammar of the film was designed to give dreams weight and gravity so they truly mattered. It’s the same approach here:
the myth has to have its own reality for people to believe in it.
Odysseus is, of course, a storyteller, but I didn’t want to make a film about the telling of the story. I wanted to tell the story.”
See, theres nothing to worry about changes that completely strip the Odyssey of anything Hellenic, he removed Hellas altogether and placed the story in an Alternate Reality! And in this wild AU he can do whatever he likes! How did Lupita Nyon'go put it, "the story spans worlds, and the cast is what it is because its representative of the world" Now that makes more sense. See, nothing to worry about! Don't you feel better now -_-
