Michael Caine’s AI-Generated Voice to Narrate ‘The Odyssey’ Audiobook Ahead of Christopher Nolan’s Movie

According to Variety, ElevenLabs has created an AI-generated replica of Michael Caine's voice to narrate a new audiobook of Homer's Odyssey, timed to release ahead of Christopher Nolan's film adaptation. Rather than hiring the legendary actor directly, the project used four producers, several AI tools, and the voice clone to deliver the epic poem — a cost-efficient alternative that stands in stark contrast to the hundreds of millions of dollars the studio has invested in bringing the story to the screen.
