The announcement was made on Universal Pictures' social channels as follows: “Christopher Nolan's next film, 'The Odyssey', will be an epic action story shot across the world with new IMAX technology. The film will bring the Homer saga to IMAX screens for the first time and will be released in all theaters July 17, 2026.” Furthermore, according to several sources, filming should begin next spring.
It is not the first time that theOdyssey arrives on the big screen: Giuseppe de Liguoro brought it to the cinema in 1911 with a silent film, presented the same year at the Turin Film Festival and recently restored by the Cineteca di Bologna. In 1954, Mario Camerini then created Ulyssesand timeless classic starring Kirk Douglas (who hasn't seen it at least once at school?).
This time, however, Nolan seems to want to raise the bar further: after having explored the boundaries of the universe he is preparing to confront the myth par excellence, bringing the adventures of Ulysses back to light and projecting them on the largest possible screen. To do this, he relied on a cast stellare che include Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson e Charlize Theron.
