Written and directed by Nolan,The Odyssey is an adaptation of Homer’s legendary tale of Odysseus and his arduous decade-long journey home following the fall of Troy. It is reportedly made on a $250 million budget.
The film stars Matt Damon as Odysseus, Tom Holland as Telemachus, Odysseus's son, Anne Hathaway as Penelope, Odysseus's wife, Robert Pattinson as Antinous, a sleazy suitor of Penelope, Lupita Nyong’o in a dual role as Helen of Troy and Clytemnestra, Samantha Morton as Circe, a witch and goddess from the island of Aeaea, Zendaya as Athena, the goddess of wisdom, warfare, and handicraft and Charlize Theron as Calypso, a nymph from the island of Ogygia, and is produced by Emma Thomas and Christopher Nolan for their company, Syncopy.
The Odyssey has already generated significant buzz for its production scale. Shot across various locations around the world, it has become the first feature film to be shot entirely using IMAX cameras, with brand-new IMAX film technology.
