The late great author Michael Crichton gave Hollywood one of its biggest franchises, Jurassic Park — still going strong — and the television monster hit ER. Most of his novels became major films, including The Terminal Man, The Great Train Robbery, Rising Sun, and Timeline.

No one is wondering that it will be a woke mess. It just is.
The Odyssey adaptation from Christopher Nolan will be releasing in a few months
