Overview
- Universal and Syncopy list the final runtime as 2 hours 53 minutes (173 minutes) for The Odyssey, which will open in several Latin American markets on July 16 and in the United States and United Kingdom on July 17.
- The production was filmed completely on state‑of‑the‑art IMAX cameras and will be shown in IMAX 70mm, 70mm, 35mm and high‑definition digital formats to emphasize a large‑screen experience.
- Christopher Nolan wrote and directed the adaptation of Homer’s epic with production credits to Emma Thomas and Nolan, a score by Ludwig Göransson, cinematography by Hoyte van Hoytema, and editing by Jennifer Lame.
- The principal cast includes Matt Damon as Odiseo, Anne Hathaway as Penélope, Tom Holland as Telémaco, Zendaya as Atenea, plus Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o and Charlize Theron, and the official synopsis highlights classic encounters such as Polifemo, Circe and the Sirens without revealing plot outcomes.
- Coverage reports an estimated $250 million production budget and early positive reviews, though those reactions are described as preliminary and box office and wider critical consensus will only be clear after the global release.
