Overview
- Christopher Nolan, in an Associated Press interview published Wednesday, confirmed his Homer adaptation is shorter than Oppenheimer’s 180 minutes.
- He tied the cap to exhibition tech, noting IMAX film prints use massive reels that top out at about three hours, which sets a hard ceiling for projection.
- The exact runtime and the MPAA rating remain undisclosed, and Universal still has the July 17 theatrical release on the calendar.
- The Odyssey is the first Hollywood feature shot entirely on IMAX cameras, with a new quieter “blimp” housing built for dialogue scenes and more than two million feet of film captured across a 91‑day shoot, much of it at sea.
- Early demand has been strong with select 70mm IMAX showings selling out after CinemaCon footage played, as anticipation builds for the ensemble led by Matt Damon with Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron and Jon Bernthal.
