Nolan’s Odyssey: A $250 Million Imax Gamble on Homer

Christopher Nolan discusses his ambitious Odyssey adaptation, a $250 million Imax epic that follows Oppenheimer, built on real locations and massive camera rigs across multiple countries. He describes the shoot as a “trauma-bonding” process with cast and crew, driven by non-linear storytelling and a strong ensemble led by Lupita Nyong’o and Anne Hathaway, with Emma Thomas guiding production and even a new dog, Charlie, playing a small but symbolic role. The scale demanded relentless challenges, but Nolan remains exhilarated and petrified by taking such risks to surprise and challenge audiences.

Jon Bernthal: Pushing Bold Bets From The Odyssey to Spider-Man and Broadway

THR’s cover profile portrays Jon Bernthal as a fearless, relentlessly hands-on actor who pushes beyond comfort to serve the story. He endures Christopher Nolan’s epic The Odyssey—surviving a cold, water-filled Trojan Horse shoot and earning the crew’s respect—while expanding his range across film, TV, and theater (The Bear, The Punisher, Dog Day Afternoon on Broadway). Bernthal discusses mentoring from Moscow Art Theatre training, co-writing One Last Kill, developing The Bottoms, and collaborating with Tom Holland on Spider-Man: Brand New Day. He argues for taking big swings, embracing nos, and staying creatively in control, insisting he’s always “a soldier for the story.”

Odyssey on IMAX draws fans to premium 70mm showings at odd hours

Cinephiles are paying steep premiums to see Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey on 70mm IMAX, with about 25 theaters offering the experience. In New York’s AMC Lincoln Square 13, tickets run around $33, but demand is high enough that some listings on resale sites reach up to $1,000, and screenings are largely sold out through the weekend, prompting early-morning or late-night showtimes (up to 3 a.m.).

Rarest IMAX 70mm Experience: Only 25 U.S. Theaters Show The Odyssey

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey arrives with critical applause, but only 25 U.S. venues can screen it in IMAX 70mm—the large-film format Nolan used to maximize sharpness and immersion. Those screenings are highly sought after and sell out quickly, with some fans even traveling internationally for the experience. For most moviegoers, a standard theater presentation remains available, but it won’t capture the full IMAX 70mm scope Nolan intended.

Matt Damon Won’t Go Back to Extreme Weight Changes for Roles

He notes he’d do this kind of diet change again only if it’s safe and necessary, but he won’t gain weight the way he did for The Informant! (about 30 pounds) earlier in his career.
