Overview
- The film opened in Argentina on July 16 and reached its worldwide release window on July 17, marking the first public screenings of Nolan’s adaptation.
- Nolan wrote and directed La Odisea with Matt Damon as Odiseo and a large ensemble that includes Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson and Charlize Theron.
- The production was shot entirely on IMAX film using large‑format cameras, a technical choice Nolan says was meant to create an immersive theatrical experience though true 70mm IMAX projection will be available only in a limited number of cinemas.
- The runtime is roughly 172–173 minutes, and early reviews praise the film’s visual scale, maritime practical effects and emotional focus on the consequences of war while noting selective departures from Homer’s poem and thinner development of some supporting roles.
- Made on an estimated $250 million budget with a 91‑day multinational shoot, the film builds on Nolan’s post‑Oppenheimer momentum and could shape awards season and the commercial case for large‑format theatrical presentation.
