TL;DR Summary

Christopher Nolan explains that The Odyssey channels influences from Jaws, Alien, and Martin Scorsese’s The Last Temptation of Christ, while blending mythic spectacle with a human, fallible Odysseus. Filmed entirely in IMAX, the epic stars Matt Damon as Odysseus, Anne Hathaway as Penelope, and Tom Holland as Telemachus, and is expected to open around $120 million, marking Nolan’s most ambitious non-franchise start and a return to intimate emotion after Oppenheimer.
