The Odyssey is officially on course—and it’s shaping up to be one of the most ambitious films of the decade.
Written and directed by Christopher Nolan, the mythic action epic adapts Homer’s foundational saga and will be the first-ever cinematic Odyssey shot entirely using brand-new IMAX® film technology. Filmed across multiple countries, the project promises a scale and immersion only Nolan can deliver.
The cast reads like a prestige awards lineup, led by Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, and Lupita Nyong’o, with Zendaya and Charlize Theron rounding out the ensemble.
Produced by Nolan and Emma Thomas under their Syncopy banner, with Thomas Hayslip serving as executive producer, The Odyssey is being positioned as a mythic action epic designed specifically for the IMAX experience.
📅 Release Date: July 17, 2026
🎬 Genre: Mythic Action Epic
🎥 Format: IMAX® film (new proprietary technology)
If Nolan’s past films have taught us anything, it’s this: The Odyssey won’t just retell a legend—it’ll redefine how we experience one.
