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,
