After months of speculation about Christopher Nolan’s follow-up to his critical and box office hit “Oppenheimer,” which won him the Best Director Oscar, Universal Pictures unveiled before the holidays on X that he will be bringing Homer’s “The Odyssey” to the big screen.

“The Odyssey” is a classic piece of literature by Homer that is divided between 24 different books, preceded by “The Iliad.” It tells the 10-year journey story of Odysseus, king of Ithaca, as he travels home after the Trojan War. Along the way, he encounters multiple perils and discovers the death of his crewmates. Telemachus (Odysseus’ son), Penelope (Odysseus’ wife), Athena, Circe, Poseidon and Zeus are all major characters.

Historians and scholars date “The Odyssey” to sometime between 750-650 BC. The first printed Greek version became available in 1488. In the centuries since, it has remained one of the most studied, adapted and parodied stories ever with...

A few days ago, it was revealed that Christopher Nolan’s next movie will be an adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey. Universal Pictures announced it as a global action epic using new IMAX technology, set to release on July 17, 2026.

The film features a star-studded cast, including Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson, and Charlize Theron. Production is planned to start in early 2025, with Nolan writing and producing alongside Emma Thomas under their Syncopy banner.

The Odyssey is one of the oldest stories still read today. It follows the Greek hero Odysseus on his difficult journey home after the Trojan War.

Industry insider Daniel Richtman shared updates about the movie. He thinks Universal announced the project early to avoid leaks. The film will include big-name stars, with casting news coming soon. Unlike realistic adaptations like Troy, Nolan will focus on the mythical and fantastical parts of The Odyssey,...

Christopher Nolan’s new film has been revealed to be an adaptation of The Odyssey. Universal Pictures announced the film on Tuesday, revealing a release date of July 17, 2026. Nolan’s film boasts a star cast of Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, and Zendaya. However, fans are most thrilled about the film because of the director’s use of new IMAX film technology.

Earlier, Nolan’s Oscar-winning film, Oppenheimer, singlehandedly revived one art that took backstage when digital filmmaking became popular. It was the Interstellar director who made IMAX popular among cine-goers and gave back jobs to many IMAX projectionists with his latest film.

Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer was one of the sensations of the 2023 summer movie season, though half of that might have been due to the “Barbenheimer” phenomenon. Oppenheimer was still a good movie in its own right, a biography of the atomic bomb’s inventor told in a non-linear fashion. Since then, everyone has been wondering what Nolan’s follow-up will be. We now know he’s betting Big. You can’t get bigger than The Odyssey, one of the oldest epics known to man, the story of an iron-willed king and his quest to reach his homeworld after the Trojan War. Unfortunately he has to do it on a boat and Poseidon bears a grudge against him. From cyclopses to sirens to sorceresses, Odysseus is cursed to face one peril after another, and when he finally makes it back, it isn’t over — he’s gotta fight a ton of...

Wonderful news! Universal Pictures said that Christopher Nolan will make a movie version of Homer’s famous poem, “The Odyssey.” The film will be released on July 17, 2026. Following the success of his Oscar-winning film Oppenheimer, this project marks Nolan’s second collaboration with Universal.

The movie version will feature stars Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, and Charlize Theron. Universal says the movie is a “mythic action epic” that will be shot in beautiful places worldwide using cutting-edge IMAX film technology.

Among the most important works of Western writing is Homer’s The Odyssey, written around the 8th century Bce. The story continues as the King of Ithaca, Odysseus, tries to get back home after the Trojan War. Along the way, he meets mythical creatures and divine beings, and in the end, he has a heartfelt reunion with Penelope, his faithful wife.

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey Title Unveiled ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Following the gigantic success of his 2023 biographical drama Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan’s next project is already generating significant gossip and speculations. Slated for a July 2026 release — continuing the writer-director’s trend of summer blockbusters — the film will be the first in his career to allude to his dual honors of being knighted and winning multiple Academy Awards. Universal Pictures has finally unveiled the title and several plot and filming details of the highly anticipated feature, further strengthening its position as one of the most awaited cinematic events in the coming years.

In an official announcement on X (formerly Twitter), Universal confirmed that Nolan’s thirteenth feature will be titled The Odyssey. While some may draw comparisons to Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey — a personal favorite of the Interstellar filmmaker — the title references the ancient epic by the Greek poet Homer.

The Oppenheimer director’s adaptation of Homer is scheduled for release in the summer of 2026, and will feature Tom Holland, Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway and Zendaya

Christopher Nolan’s follow-up to Oppenheimer will be an adaptation of Homer’s Odyssey, it has been revealed.

Hollywood studio Universal, which is backing the project, posted on social media on Monday that: “Christopher Nolan’s next film The Odyssey is a mythic action epic shot across the world” and that “Homer’s foundational saga” will be shot “using brand new Imax film technology”. The studio said it plans to release the film in July 2026.

Pues no, no serán helicópteros ni vampiros. Tampoco una incursión (al menos por ahora) en el género de terror. ¡Adiós a las especulaciones! La nueva película del aclamado realizador británico Christopher Nolan (Oppenheimer) será –redoble de tambores– una adaptación de La odisea de Homero, un antiguo poema épico griego situado en el siglo VIII a.C. que aborda la historia de Odiseo, rey de Ítaca, y su turbulento viaje de vuelta a casa tras la guerra de Troya, según ha anunciado Universal Pictures en la red social X en lo que ha descrito como «una epopeya de acción mítica grabada alrededor del mundo con la última tecnología IMAX».

El reparto confirmado tiene a nombres de primera categoría: Matt Damon (Los instigadores), Tom Holland (saga Spider-Man), Zendaya (Dune: Parte Dos), Anne Hathaway (La idea de tenerte), Robert Pattinson (The Batman), Lupita Nyong’o (Un lugar tranquilo: Día 1...

Nolan’s sights are now set on one of his most ambitious projects, titled, The Odyssey. It’s a mythological tale with a star-studded cast, and fan predictions are already out. So, let’s delve into what the movie is about and what roles could possibly be played by some of the most beloved actors.

After months of speculation, Christopher Nolan’s next film was finally announced to be The Odyssey, an adaptation of Homer’s epic poem. The film is set to release in July 2026 and currently stars Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, and Charlize Theron. There have been no details regarding the crew.

Several writers and artists have adapted the Greek epic numerous times. From James Joyce’s Ulysses to Margaret Atwood’s The Penelopaid, several works have been inspired by the epic. While Nolan’s film would probably be the biggest adaptation yet, many consider Andrei Konchalovsky’s miniseries starring Armand Asante to be the best one.

We recently got word that Christopher Nolan was working on a new film for Universal Pictures, with Matt Damon set to play the lead. The cast has since grown to include a wealth of A-list talent, but plot details had been kept under wraps - until now.

Numerous rumors and theories have been doing the rounds, with the mysterious project said to be everything from a futuristic action thriller inspired by '80s helicopter flick Blue Thunder, to a period vampire thriller. However, insiders maintained that nobody came close to nailing Nolan’s real idea, and they were absolutely right.

Universal has now officially announced that Nolan will helm an adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey.

For months, there has been rampant speculation over Christopher Nolan's follow-up to "Oppenheimer," the three-hour epic that earned him the Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Director. The cast has been gradually coming together: Matt Damon, Zendaya, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Anne Hathaway and Charlize Theron. Could it be a vampire flick? For a time, there was a hilarious rumor that Nolan was planning a remake of the John Badham police helicopter action flick "Blue Thunder" — because apparently that's how you spend clout after winning two Oscars and making a $977 million-grossing R-rated masterpiece.

For those who were hoping Matt Damon and Tom Holland would rekindle the crackling chemistry generated by Roy Scheider and Daniel Stern in "Blue Thunder," I have very bad news for you. For everyone else, if you were hoping for Nolan to push the envelope in terms of scope and technology, you're going...

Anyone who’s watched television in the past 50 years is likely familiar with the work of Bruce Vilanch, the comedy writer who appeared on Hollywood Squares for four years, and co-wrote the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special.

One of Vilanch’s biggest contributions to the world of pop culture has been writing for the Academy Awards. After all, where would the Oscars be without one-liners and upbeat musical numbers about Titanic and Good Will Hunting?

Vilanch began writing for the Oscars way back in 1989, and he eventually became the ceremony’s head writer from 2000 to 2014 — which means that he both began and ended his Oscars career with notoriously disastrous telecasts.

The ‘89 Oscars, as you may recall, found Rob Lowe and an actress dressed as Snow White murdering the legacy of Creedence Clearwater Revival, and arguably the medium of music in general.

Following the high praise of Oppenheimer, acclaimed director Christopher Nolan seems to be at the height of his powers. Luckily for fans excitedly waiting for his next project, Universal Pictures has officially announced that it will be an adaptation of Homer’s epic The Odyssey.

“Christopher Nolan’s next film The Odyssey is a mythic action epic shot across the world using brand new IMAX film technology,” Universal Pictures Twitter announced on Friday. “The film brings Homer’s foundational saga to IMAX film screens for the first time and opens in theaters everywhere on July 17th, 2026.”

The details follow reports from earlier this month that Nolan had cast the likes of Tom Holland, Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, Lupita Nyong’o and others to be a part of his next film. As Holland stated on The Dish podcast, however, the filmmaker had shared very few details about what the project would entail.

The mystery is over. After what felt like eons of speculation, Universal revealed that Christopher Nolan’s next movie will be an adaptation of Homer’s epic “The Odyssey.”

The original poem, written in the 8th century BC, follows the Greek hero Odysseus as he journeys home after the Trojan War.

According to the official release, “Christopher Nolan’s next film ‘The Odyssey’ is a mythic action epic shot across the world using brand new Imax film technology. The film brings Homer’s foundational saga to Imax film screens for the first time and opens in theaters everywhere on July 17, 2026.”

Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Anne Hathaway and Charlize Theron are among those who will appear in the movie.

“The Odyssey” marks Nolan’s first feature since “Oppenheimer,” which won seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director.

It’s been known for a few months that Christopher Nolan would be announcing his “Oppenheimer” follow-up soon, but details on what that follow-up would be have been slow to come. But now, we know that the film will be a classical epic — quite literally.

After Blake Lively went viral for her “nightmare interview” with Kjersti Flaa, the same journalist published an awkward and tense interview with Anne Hathaway from 2012, during the press tour for Les Misérables. Sharing the video interview on her channel, Flaa described the clip as “top-notch cringe” and even claimed to get the idea that Hathaway might have “hated” her.

However, within days of releasing the throwback video from their 2012 interview, Kjersti Flaa took to her YouTube channel to reveal how Anne Hathaway had reached out to her and apologized through a long email. Even though fans weren’t upset with the actress unlike Blake Lively, Hathaway proved why she’s often praised for her aura and humility in the industry.

It remains unclear what Christopher Nolan has in store for his next event film, and star Tom Holland is certainly keeping tight-lipped.

The MCU star claimed the 2x Oscar-winning director only “loosely pitched” him on the upcoming star-studded project, which is expected to film after the new year, and he still remains in the dark.

“It hasn’t started shooting. To be perfectly honest with you, I don’t know anything about it,” admitted Holland on The Dish podcast. “I’m super excited. Everything is very very hush hush. I met with [Nolan]. It was awesome. He kind of loosely pitched what it was. And I’m sure when he’s ready, he’ll announce what it is.”

In October, Deadline reported that Holland was circling the lead role in Nolan’s new event film, which has also since cast Zendaya, Charlize Theron, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o and Matt Damon.

Tom Holland is set to star in Christopher Nolan’s next film, and although he’s excited to be working with the Oscar-winning director, he doesn’t know what it’s about.

Meryl Streep dove deep into method acting for The Devil Wears Prada, delivering an Oscar-nominated performance—but it left her miserable behind the scenes.

Streep didn’t just play Priestly; she lived as her. For the actress, that meant immersing herself in the role to such an extreme that it made the entire experience “horrible.” She admitted, “I was miserable in my trailer. I could hear them all rocking and laughing. I was so depressed! I said, ‘Well, it’s the price you pay for being boss!’”

This commitment to her craft created an atmosphere on set where even her co-stars felt the chill. Anne Hathaway, who played her assistant Andrea Sachs, felt the brunt of Priestly’s icy presence, admitting, “I did feel intimidated, but I always felt cared for. I knew that whatever she was doing to create that fear,...

What films cracked you up in 2024? Or, more specifically, what moments in movies made you laugh the hardest? Sometimes, a film can be generally meh but contains a scene or a performance so funny that you can forgive its shortcomings.

Tom Holland appeared on a Christmas-themed episode of the “Dish” podcast and got asked what it’s like acting opposite his longtime girlfriend Zendaya. The two have starred in three “Spider-Man” movies and will spend much of 2025 on film sets together as the stars of a fourth “Spider-Man” movie and of Christopher Nolan’s mysterious new film.

“Studios love it. One hotel room. Separate drivers. We’re not crazy now. Listen it’s work, alright?” Holland quipped when asked about being Zendaya’s co-star.

“Oh God, yeah. It’s a saving grace. Yeah, best thing that’s ever happened to me,” he added on a more serious note. “It’s just that perfect thing when you’re on set and a director will give you a note that maybe you don’t agree with, or I know that she doesn’t particularly like, and it’s just that, like,...
