""Tell me what you remember," Charlize Theron as Calypso says to Matt Damon's Odysseus. We then see the span of his 20-year journey since he left his home: battling at Troy, trying to navigate the wine-dark sea, and scheming to escape the many tight spots he finds himself in."
"In most versions of The Odyssey, the Ithaca part of the story only plays a major part towards the end of the epic, but this trailer seems to tease that it will have as much import (and perhaps equal screentime) as Odysseus' journey."
"The Odyssey stars Matt Damon as Odysseus, Anne Hathaway as his wife Penelope; Tom Holland as his son Telemachus; Robert Pattinson as Penelope's suitor Antinous; Zendaya as Athena, goddess of wisdom; Charlize Theron as Calypso, the sea witch who tries to keep Odysseus on."
Christopher Nolan's upcoming adaptation of The Odyssey promises to elevate epic filmmaking, following the success of Oppenheimer. The film features an all-star cast, including Matt Damon as Odysseus and Anne Hathaway as Penelope. The new trailer reveals a dual narrative, emphasizing both Odysseus' adventures and the parallel story of his wife and son waiting in Ithaca. This approach diverges from traditional adaptations, suggesting equal importance for both storylines. The film is shot in fully-IMAX format, aiming to enhance the cinematic experience.
