Christopher Nolan’s latest epic-looking movie, The Odyssey, has a brand new trailer. And it’s based on Odysseus, the Greek King of Ithaca. Specifically, his journey to reunite with his wife Penelope after the Trojan War.
This fantasy/action/adventure/history film has a key cast that includes Jon Bernthal, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Matt Damon and Benny Safdie.
I’m looking forward to this because it’s Nolan, Damon, Hathaway, Holland, and Bernthal. I also want to see what looks like a father/son love story. Plus, I’m curious about the part-fantasy categorisation. That said, I’m also apprehensive because Nolan’s last film, Oppenheimer (2023), ran for three very long hours, which felt beyond unacceptable to me.
The runtime for this one hasn’t been confirmed yet, and while I’d like to be optimistic that it won’t exceed two and a half hours, I just know that I’d be incredibly foolish to bet on it.
Is The Odyssey unskippable for you, too?
Charlize Theron, Robert Pattinson, John Leguizamo, Mia Goth, Logan Marshall-Green, Zendaya, Elliot Page, Samantha Morton, Ryan Hurst, Himesh Patel and Elyes Gabel also star.
The Odyssey. Release Dates: July 17th, 2026 (US & UK)…
Happy Film Loving,

3 hours is crazy! I think the likelihood of Nolan curtailing his need to make his movies ever longer is probably here to stay. Hopefully not.
By the way, your site was behaving very strangely. Are you trying new themes?
All Nolan’s movies are must see. At least once. 😉
can’t wait!
It is a must-see for me, but I haven’t really seen anything yet that has me wowed. That being said, he really raised the “preview” bar for me with his movies when he showed that first act action scene clip from Tenet as a trailer. I loved that!
I’ll see anything from Christopher Nolan at this point. I’m just glad it’s a story like The Odyssey that I’m already familiar with. The trailers haven’t blown me away yet, but I’m confident they’re building anticipation.
Agreed, the trailers are giving that epic vibe, but minus that audible excitement that Nolan’s trailers usually inspire. I look forward to hearing about all the work Damon did to get into the incredible shape he’s clearly in.
Looks good!
Sure does. 🤓🥂
Oh-My-Dysseus! The ships have arrived🌊⛵︎🐙🔱
At long last! 🔱😀🙌
