Exciting news! Christopher Nolan, who won an Oscar for his film “Oppenheimer,” will direct a movie based on the ancient Greek story “The Odyssey.” Universal Pictures announced that this film will hit theaters on July 17, 2026. This is special because it will be the first time the classic tale will be shown in IMAX, which means it will look even more amazing on the big screen!
“The Odyssey” is one of the most famous stories written by Homer, along with “The Iliad.” It tells the adventures of Odysseus, a Greek hero trying to get back home to Ithaca after the Trojan War. His journey lasts ten years and includes dangerous monsters, angry gods, and many temptations that make him think about giving up. The story is all about being strong, loyal, and wanting to go home.
Odysseus is known for being smart and clever. He used his brain to win battles, like with the famous Trojan Horse. This made him a symbol of how people can be creative and determined.
Nolan is known for using the latest technology in filmmaking, especially IMAX. His last three movies, including “Oppenheimer,” were filmed using special large cameras. He even worked with IMAX to create new black-and-white film for “Oppenheimer.”
Although we don’t know much yet about the new technology for “The Odyssey,” Nolan said he’s working closely with IMAX engineers to make something amazing. “Their team is really smart and is doing fantastic work,” he shared. “It’s exciting to see new things happening in making films!”
This is Nolan’s second time working with Universal Pictures, following the success of “Oppenheimer,” which earned nearly $1 billion and won him prestigious Oscars.
Fans are buzzing with excitement about who might star in the movie, but Universal Pictures hasn’t announced any actors yet. As movie lovers wait, Nolan promises a fresh and exciting take on Homer’s classic tale, mixing his unique style with the latest film technology!
