Overview
- Universal released a new poster and an on‑set featurette on June 3 that spotlight Matt Damon’s Odysseus and include new cast and crew interviews while announcing largest‑screen IMAX ticket sales begin the next day.
- The studio and marketing materials present The Odyssey as an IMAX‑first event, advertising it as the first feature shot entirely with IMAX film cameras and urging audiences to see it on the biggest screens.
- Reporting says Nolan photographed the film over about 91 days in 2025 across six countries and captured more than two million feet of IMAX film to create vast practical sets, full‑scale ships, and large crowd sequences.
- The film features a starry ensemble led by Matt Damon and includes Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, and Robert Pattinson with longtime collaborators Hoyte van Hoytema and Ludwig Göransson on cinematography and score.
- Before the July 17, 2026 wide release, The Odyssey will play a special three‑week 70mm engagement at Westwood’s Village Theatre, a move that highlights Universal’s push for event‑style theatrical presentation.
