Nolan’s Odyssey: 70mm spectacle, star power, and popcorn debates ahead of 2026 release
Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is a 2h52 epic shot entirely on 70mm IMAX across six countries with a budget around $250 million, featuring Matt Damon as Odysseus alongside Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson and more; it hits theaters July 17, 2026 after record-setting presales and widespread ticket-site outages, and even sparked buzz with a Trojan Horse popcorn bucket while Nolan explains the project as a challenging new mythic storytelling venture built on extensive practical effects.
