Christopher Nolan is building serious hype around his next film, The Odyssey, in the most gripping way. Set to hit theatres on July 17, the makers released the trailer on Monday (May 4), revealing more details about the movie.
This is Nolan’s first project since the blockbuster Oppenheimer, and he’s set to deliver another cinematic feast with the story of Greek hero Odysseus. Like many of his movies, this film is also packed with star power and headlined by Matt Damon, the movie stars Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron, Travis Scott and Robert Pattinson.
The Odyssey trailer
The new clip takes viewers into the tragic, war-torn world of Odysseus and his long, arduous journey home to his wife Penelope (Anne Hathaway) and son Telemachus (Tom Holland), the only two people he holds on to in his memory.
One of the trailer’s highlights is Odysseus’ brutal time on the battlefield during the war. Back in Ithaca, the main threat comes from Robert Pattinson’s character Antinous, a suitor who wants to marry Penelope and seize the throne.
The trailer debuted on Monday night’s episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. It centres on Damon’s Odysseus, showing him on the battlefield yearning to return to his family while being pulled back into combat. Alongside his struggle, the clip also highlights Pattinson’s villainous turn as Antinous, scheming to seize the throne.
“You’re a man who needs to control his fate,” Calypso tells to King Odysseus, who is in constant worry about his home, “But you cannot control this. No one can stand between me and home. Not even the Gods,” she adds.
The trailer cuts between Odysseus fighting across land and battling through a brutal sea storm on his voyage.
It also shows the growing conflict between Penelope and Antinous.
