Nolan’s The Odyssey: An IMAX Epic Influenced by Jaws, Scorsese and The Last Temptation

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.

Steven Spielberg’s Complete Filmography Re-Ranked: From Misfires to Masterpieces

The Hollywood Reporter publishes a full, tongue-in-cheek ranking of Steven Spielberg’s 35 feature films, ordering them from worst to best and offering witty, opinionated commentary on each title. Highlights include ET: The Extra-Terrestrial at No. 1 and Jaws near the top, while frequent punching bags like The Lost World: Jurassic Park, The BFG, 1941, and The Terminal sit toward the bottom. The list traces Spielberg’s career arc—from Amblin-era whimsy and blockbuster thrillers to serious war dramas and prestige biopics—commenting on how his strengths and missteps evolved, and even playfully inserting a fictional 2026 entry, Disclosure Day, to lampoon the arc.
