As if you didn’t know, Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is out in July. We’ve had teasers and featurettes, but this full trailer gives away a lot more.
I have to say, the other trailers didn’t really blow my skirt up, but this one makes it look pretty epic. The story is one we have seen before, or at the very least, you know of it.
After the Trojan War, Odysseus faces a dangerous voyage back to Ithaca, meeting creatures like the Cyclops Polyphemus, Sirens, and Circe along the way.
It’s one of the oldest stories in history.
The Odyssey stars everyone in the world, well, almost everyone: Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Zendya, Charlize Theron, Logan Marshall-Green, Jon Bernthal, Mia Goth, Elliot Page, Benny Safdie, John Leguizamo, Ryan Hurst, James Remar, Samantha Morton, Josh Stewart, and Himesh Patel.
These are all the players for the first 10 minutes of The Odyssey. After that, the cast really opens up! I’m joking, but the cast is impressive.
The effects for The Odyssey are looking good. Although I cannot help but wish the cyclops were done by Ray Harryhausen. Personally, when I think of a Greek epic movie, I can’t help but think of the hand-animated creatures by Harryhausen.
It’s been reported that the movie will use “never-before-seen IMAX technology”. This is great if you get to see it in IMAX. I made the joke before, but *clears throat*, I’m going to see it on my phone. To get the IMAX experience, I’m just going to hold the phone close to my face. #Smart
The Odyssey will be in cinemas on the 17th of July. Are you going to see it?
