We are able to lastly say that we all know what Christopher Nolan’s subsequent movie goes to be about. Common Footage shared the primary actual particulars in regards to the highly-anticipated image in a tweet.
The film is known as The Odyssey, and it’s going to be taking the legendary director into the mythic motion style.
Mythic motion is just not precisely one thing you’d affiliate with Nolan, however seeing as The Odyssey in query is Homer’s precise odyssey, you possibly can just about see why. In keeping with Common, the film will probably be launched in cinemas on July 17, 2026.
Extra apparently, it’s going to be shot “utilizing model new IMAX movie know-how,” although it’s not clear what that truly means. The Odyssey will probably be shot at numerous areas all over the world, which appears to recommend lots of real-world motion, somewhat than soundstage/studio taking pictures, and manufacturing will reportedly start within the first half of 2025.
Whereas that’s the extent of Common’s tweet, we do know that The Odyssey already has a stellar forged that features Robert Pattinson, Tom Holland, Matt Damon, Charlize Theron, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, and Lupita Nyong’o, in keeping with trade experiences.
The Odyssey is certainly one of Greek tradition’s most recognisable (and tailored) epic poems. It’s actually no stranger to movie, having been tailored a number of occasions, extra famously in 1954’s Ulysses. Not all variations observe your complete epic, nevertheless, as some are typically loosely based mostly on it, borrowing sure themes or solely filming sure sections of the poem – the Coen Brothers’ O Brother, The place Artwork Thou? is one such undertaking.
Contemplating how secretive Nolan likes to be along with his initiatives, we’re not prone to hear any official particulars till a lot nearer to launch. Even then, they’re going to be greater than a bit of obscure, particularly if we assume that it gained’t be simple adaptation.
