Overview
- Tom Cruise, who posted on Thursday, shared a photo of himself holding a cinema ticket in front of a Die Odyssee poster and wrote he "can't wait to see it again."
- In his message Cruise thanked director Christopher Nolan, producer Emma Thomas and the film's cast and crew for what he called a "great cinema evening."
- Die Odyssee is Nolan’s large-scale adaptation of Homer’s Odyssey filmed across multiple countries with 70mm IMAX cameras and features a high-profile ensemble including Matt Damon as Odysseus and Anne Hathaway as Penelope.
- Cruise and Nolan have never worked together and both are known for advocating the big-screen experience; Cruise is also due back in cinemas in October in Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Digger.
- The celebrity endorsement is a boost for Nolan’s opening weekend and underscores ongoing industry attention to event filmmaking and theatrical exhibition, though the post does not announce any collaboration between Cruise and Nolan.
