Nolan Unveils ‘The Odyssey’ Footage at CinemaCon as Full‑IMAX Epic Nears Completion

The preview underscores his first feature shot entirely on IMAX film.

Overview

  • Christopher Nolan showed extended scenes, including a practical Trojan Horse infiltration, during Universal’s CinemaCon presentation on Wednesday.
  • He confirmed the film was captured entirely on IMAX 70mm using newly quieter cameras, a long‑pursued technical goal for his team.
  • Nolan said the cut is almost finished, and producer Emma Thomas said the runtime will be under three hours as post‑production continues.
  • Universal set a July 17 theatrical release with IMAX showings, starring Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, and Tom Holland in a large ensemble.
  • The production shot on location across Morocco, Greece, Italy, Iceland, and Scotland and was, in Nolan’s words, an “absolute nightmare,” with strong interest in IMAX screenings already reported.
