The Odyssey
An early insight intoThe Odysseyhas me even more excited about the upcoming Christopher Nolan pic . There has been a dandy deal of interestingness in the epic poem written by Homer after it was announce that Nolan would be directing and writing an adaptation of the classical piece of literature . While his films have always been excellent , The Odysseyis made even more exciting as it come in the aftermath ofOppenheimer , which is arguably thebest movie of Christopher Nolan ’s career . It gain ground seven Academy Awards , including Best Picture and Best Director .
Nolan ’s involvement madeThe Odysseyinherently challenging , and that intrigue was furthered by the picture ’s star - constellate cast . Matt Damon , Anne Hathaway , and Robert Pattinson , who have been part ofChristopher Nolan ’s castsbefore inThe Dark Knight Rises , Interstellar , Tenet , andOppenheimer , are reuniting with him inThe Odyssey . The cast also let in Tom Holland , Zendaya , Lupita Nyong’o , Charlize Theron , Jon Bernthal , Benny Safdie , Elliot Page , and John Leguizamo . In addition to the filmmaker and his cast , behind - the - scenes detail now make the movie even more highly anticipated .
Christopher Nolan Is Going To Extreme Lengths To Make The Odyssey Unique
“They’re Never Going To Make A Movie Like This Again”
They ’re never going to make a pic like this again . I think it ’s fail to be an epic of all epos . It ’s going to be Nolan at his best . No arrest barred . He definitely struggle a struggle that a lot of people are n’t fighting . The coordinator come to us with scout movie of locations , and it ’s just all over Europe because Odysseus ’ journey is crazy , it ’s like 10 years long .
They found locations and Nolan would go like , ‘ Okay , this cave , has anyone ever film here before ? ’ And the local guy wire is like , ‘ No . ’ [ Nolan ] is like , ‘ Okay , great , we ’re going to shoot here . ’ This like untouched home . He need to be the first person there to do it , he want to feel like no one has ever touched flat coat here . And every location is a rise . There ’s a castle , I think it ’s Odysseus ’ home , but it ’s up on a hill and it ’s like a two kilometer hike to get up there .
Past Nolan movies feature memorable on - location episode and have been filmed with IMAX cameras . WithThe Odyssey , he seems to be further leaning into these approaches as he embraces making a movie that is both inherently different and new from anything that has been done before . Part of what have Nolan stand out from other film maker is his ability to deliver a massive sense of scale while also having a palpable sense of artistry . The extreme lengths he is going to forThe Odysseyindicate that this Libra will once again be accomplish in memorable manner .
The Odyssey’s Production Sounds Ambitious, Even By Christopher Nolan’s Standards
He Continues To Go Bigger
Nolan is no alien to major and complicated productions . Bane ’s plane highjack inThe Dark Knight Risesfeatured the use of tangible carpenter’s plane and the use of a simulator , and in posterior year , Christopher Nolan crashed a actual woodworking plane inTenetfor cost - effective reasonableness . Due to the nature of the fabulous storey , The Odysseywill not feature any aeroplane , but the production still sound improbably ambitious , perhaps even more so thanThe Dark Knight Rises , Tenet , and other Nolan movies .
Christopher Nolan has earned a reputation as a film director of intelligent , original blockbuster , and his best action scenes deliver spectacular thrills .
In ordering to enchant the extent of Odysseus ' journeying , Nolan is using a mixture of locations spread across Europe . He is not settle for vulgar emplacement shoots and is making certain that the latest IMAX technology is at his disposal to bring in the options and each measure of Odysseus ' journey to animation like never before . Itsounds likeThe Odysseyis on an entirely different level , even when compare to some of the more ambitious productions that he has helmed , and this will for certain be felt when the movie is released in IMAX theaters in 2026 .
The Odyssey’s Action Is Already Impressing Stunt Performers Too
Matt Damon & Tom Holland’s Physical Abilities Have Been Impressive
I had the opportunity to make some action with a talented chemical group of people for the motion picture and also had the chance to condition Matt Damon and Tom Holland for the film . All the rumor about Tom being physically capable are so rightful . He can literally do anything . He should get every strong-arm part possible .
Matt definitely wanted to be more effective because that ’s the character reference . Odysseus , if anyone is familiar with that storey , Odysseus is really the only war scene character along that journeying . The guy rope he has with him have fought with him but Odysseus himself is like , " I ’ve lived and breathed battle , " and so that makes him more smart , and that ’s why he ’s so near . Matt definitely understood that and then we were trying to wreak that up as well . So he is n’t locomote to do tatty things .
With Tom , he ’s obviously more gymnastic and he ’s younger so he ’s going to almost be a younger version of Odysseus .

military action plain was not at the center ofOppenheimer ’s story , but it was central to past Nolan movies , includingThe Dark KnighttrilogyandInception . I am search forward to seeing a Nolan movie filled with activity again , particularly after all the compliment Newman gave regarding what Damon and Holland were able to accomplish . The action in past Nolan stories has never been mind - numbing , but has always played a meaningful role in the story , and been visually imaginative , and I gestate this will also defend lawful inThe Odyssey .
The Odyssey ’s source stuff comes with a capital slew of history , literary psychoanalysis , and substantial ethnical free weight , and Nolan is making certain that he does all of these elements justice by not hold back in any field of filmmaking .
I am just as excited to see how the cave , the castle , and the other locations across Europe will appear onscreen , specially when considering how they will count through the electron lens of the stain - new IMAX cameras being used . The Odyssey ’s source cloth come with a corking sight of chronicle , literary analysis , and meaning ethnic weight , and Nolan is making sure that he does all of these constituent justice by not take hold back in any area of filmmaking . Despite how telling his filmography already is , I am confident thatThe Odysseycan live up to the ballyhoo surrounding it .
