Christopher Nolan new film The Odyssey first response teases ‘spectacular’ epic | Films | Entertainment | EUROtoday

Following his first Oscar wins for Oppenheimer, the hype is actual for Sir Christopher Nolan’s subsequent cinematic blockbuster.

Last summer time, early 70mm screenings of the brand new movie shot fully in IMAX bought out a 12 months prematurely.

Meanwhile, the traditional epic’s prologue surprised audiences forward of showings of Avatar at Christmas time.

Based on Homer’s well-known legend, The Odyssey follows Matt Damon’s King of Ithaca on his 20 12 months journey residence from the Trojan War by way of an entire host of trials on fantastical islands with gods and monsters.

Co-starring Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson and extra, it’s simply one of the anticipated movies of 2026.

And now the primary response has been shared by the director’s brother, no much less.

Jonathan Nolan (Westworld, Fallout) co-wrote quite a lot of his brother’s blockbusters.

Speaking with Cinema Blend, he shared: “I’m not working on The Odyssey. I have seen The Odyssey. It’s tremendous. It’s an incredible achievement…. I was fascinated by the Iliad and The Odyssey when I was younger, and I had some fun conversations with Chris about where he’s taking it. It’s a spectacular film. I’m not sure I’m supposed to say that but, yes, it’s tremendous.”

The Odyssey hits cinemas on July 17, 2026.
