If you have Letterboxd, Tom Holland has a message for you about 'The Odyssey'

I don’t know anyone who likes cinema and in the middle of 2026 doesn’t have Letterboxd open and running, the app to rate movies, see what your friends have rated, get ideas, and, why not, read reviews and laugh out loud. It’s so well-known that even movie stars, who should theoretically hate it because it shamelessly dissects any of their projects, have had to end up surrendering to its microphone and their “four favorites” to not be left out of the conversation. Fame, how dangerous it always is. What are your four favorite formats? Now it’s Tom […]

I don’t know anyone who likes cinema and in the middle of 2026 doesn’t have Letterboxd, the app to rate movies, see what your friends have rated, get ideas, and, why not, read reviews and laugh out loud. It’s so well-known that even movie stars, who should theoretically hate it because it shamelessly dissects any of their projects, have had to end up surrendering to its microphone and their “four favorites” to stay in the conversation. Fame, how dangerous it always is.

What are your four favorite formats?

Now it’s Tom Holland, who really suits having a secret account on Letterboxd, who has introduced a new feature to its users on the occasion of the release of The Odyssey: “For the first time on Letterboxd, you will be able to search and share the way you experience the movie with a new digital punch card”.

In other words: now you can say the format in which you saw it to give yourself more airs. Oh, you only saw it in a regular cinema with Dolby? If you didn’t see it in IMAX, you haven’t really seen it. “All formats for all your viewings and re-viewings, with every right to show off. Coming soon, so keep your eyes on Letterboxd’s social media”. Nobody asked for this, but as long as it’s not advertising, it’s welcome.

The Odyssey will premiere on July 17 and promises to be the big movie of the summer, or at least that’s how it’s being marketed everywhere. If it ultimately makes less than 1 billion, it will be time to reconsider how Hollywood is selling its movies to an audience that may not be there. Spoiler: it’s not going to happen.

The Odyssey will be the second most expensive adult film in history

The Odyssey has had a budget of 250 million dollars. A very large budget that puts it on par with recent blockbusters like Guardians of the Galaxy 3 or Gladiator II, but with an added problem. Or it would be a problem if it weren’t a film by Christopher Nolan. The rating agencies have assigned it an exclusive category for those over 18. The Odyssey will not make prisoners.

The Odyssey has had a budget of 250 million dollars. A very hefty budget that places it alongside recent blockbusters like Guardians of the Galaxy 3 or Gladiator II, but with an added problem. Or it would be a problem if it weren’t a film by Christopher Nolan. The classification agencies have assigned it an exclusive rating for those over 18 years old.

The Odyssey Will Make No Prisoners

According to Variety, the film has an R rating in the US, which means that, in the United States, minors will not be able to see the movie without being accompanied by an adult. And while we don’t know why it has been given such a harsh rating, only one thing is necessary for that to happen: to make an adult, violent film with sex where directors and screenwriters do not actively hold back to ensure they do not end up with this rating. Or at least, that their producers make sure of it.

In any case, The Odyssey is only the second most expensive R-rated movie in history. The most expensive is, by a huge margin, Deadpool and Wolverine. With a budget of 533 million, of which it managed to make back just over 1.338 billion at the box office, it is a demonstration that the rating means nothing when it comes to making a good revenue.

Given that Oppenheimer made 975 million dollars in revenue with a budget of 100 million with a much narrower focus, it is expected that La Odisea will widely surpass the revenue of its predecessor. Whether it is rated R or not. But only time will tell, and to find out, we will still have to wait a little longer. Specifically, until next July 17, when La Odisea will finally premiere in theaters.

Why do all the Greek characters in 'The Odyssey' speak in perfect American English: "As if they were out of a Starbucks"

I have to confess that, unlike most of the universe, I have no desire to see The Odyssey. It’s not Christopher Nolan’s fault (although the fact that I didn’t like Oppenheimer definitely contributes to my reluctance), but rather that adapting a story like this, with a dark style and designs that are somewhere between questionable and original, doesn’t appeal to everyone. And, of course, the fact that everyone speaks in perfect American English is definitely a choice. Oh, yes, the adventure awaits, Telemachus I don’t even doubt Nolan when he claims that The Odyssey “is not […]

I have to confess that, unlike most of the universe, I have no desire to see The Odyssey. It’s not Christopher Nolan’s fault (although the fact that I didn’t like Oppenheimer definitely contributes to my reluctance), but rather that adapting a story like this, with a dark style and designs that are somewhere between questionable and original, doesn’t appeal to everyone. And, of course, the fact that everyone speaks in perfect American English is definitely a decision.

Oh, yes, the adventure awaits, Telemachus

I don’t even doubt Nolan when he claims that The Odyssey “is not a story, but THE story”… but if you listen to the trailer, no one sounds like they came from Ithaca. In fact, it seems, as one viewer said, that they have just come out of a building in New York and are casually having a Starbucks. Even Tom Holland and Robert Pattinson, who are English, do everything they can to sound American. It’s not a coincidence, and there is a reason behind it.

And obviously, fans are having a field day on social media, with comments like “They nailed the Boston accent of Odysseus” or “That ‘My dad is coming home’ is so out of place in a sword and sandal movie with this intensity”. It’s normal, yes, and we are all used to American movies set in other countries (starting with Ben-Hur, to name just one) speaking English, but it’s a trope that should have been resolved by now.

At this point, all that’s left is to cross our fingers that, at least, they do like in The Last Samurai and offer a start in Greek before switching to English, as if to say “This story should be in this language, but we don’t trust that people will read subtitles in the United States”.

It’s true, of course: the American audience is generally very lazy. It’s probably the best possible choice for a 250 million dollar movie, but still, it’s inevitable to think there must be another way. Nolan or not Nolan, this is pure laziness.

Nolan's Odyssey has angered Americans for the least expected reason: it sounds too American

The Odyssey, the new film by Christopher Nolan adapting the classic epic by Homer, is causing a lot of uproar. Although right now for the least expected reasons. Because a part of the American audience has found a flaw in the film that they consider terrible: all the characters speak in English. With a North American accent. Everyone was British in ancient times While this may sound absurd, it has a logical sense. In Hollywood historical or period films, it has generally been the case that characters speak in British English. Associating that variant of English with […]

The Odyssey, the new film by Christopher Nolan adapting the classic epic by Homer, is causing quite a stir. Although right now for the least expected reasons. Because a part of the American audience has found a flaw in the film that they consider terrible: all the characters speak in English. With a North American accent.

Everyone was British in ancient times

While this may sound absurd, it makes logical sense. In Hollywood historical or period films, characters are generally made to speak in British English. By associating that variant of English with a more noble and older tone, there is a connection among part of the audience between the variant spoken in the United Kingdom and a more archaic and historical language. This does not happen with American English, which seems more contemporary and out of context in historical films.

Other people have complained that, being a story set in classical Greece, the characters do not speak in Greek or, at least, with a Greek accent. Something that many have defended by stating that, had they done it that way, they could have sounded like a bad parody by speaking in English, which could even be offensive.

That’s why, although this controversy may seem artificial or absurd, it makes sense when we think about it in context. For many people, the historical past sounds like British English with the accent of the places where it is set, even if it is in English, and it is normal for them to find it jarring that Nolan chose for his actors to speak with their usual diction. A risky decision, and it remains to be seen if it will actually cost him something in what is, to date, the most anticipated movie of the year.

The acclaimed director Christopher Nolan is taking a bold step by bringing to the big screen a film adaptation of Homer’s Odyssey. With an approach that promises a captivating narrative, Nolan, known for his meticulous attention to detail and innovative storytelling techniques, will face the challenge of revitalizing one of the most important classics of Western literature.

It will be shorter than Oppenheimer

Despite the magnitude of the work, which requires careful interpretation and a fluid narrative, Nolan has announced that the duration of his film will be under three hours. This decision is notable, especially compared to his recent Oppenheimer, which exceeded three hours. Nolan’s followers can expect an epic, yet condensed experience that does not skimp on quality despite its limited time.

The film will be shot with Imax technology, which suggests that Nolan is committed to delivering an impressive visual experience. The use of Imax format promises not only superior image quality, but also an immersive environment that will transport the audience to ancient Greece and the various settings that make up Odysseus’s journey.

The filming will begin on July 17, and with more than 2 million feet of film planned, this production is set to be a milestone in Nolan’s filmography. As the movie moves towards its release, film and classic literature fans will be watching closely to see how this master of cinema will tackle one of the most complex and timeless narratives ever written. It is believed that the film could present a fresh approach, although this remains in the realm of speculation until more details are revealed.

A great defender of The Odyssey

Nolan is known for his focus on practical effects instead of CGI, which enhances the authenticity of his productions. Holland expressed his amazement at the technique and planning behind the scenes, indicating that there were moments when he thought certain sequences had to be computer-generated, only to find out that everything was filmed in-camera, further proof of the director’s mastery.

The film, which is a new interpretation of Homer’s work, features a renowned cast that includes Matt Damon, Robert Pattinson, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, and Lupita Nyong’o. The production has been extensive, with nearly 2 million feet of footage and filming at sea using “real waves,” highlighting the ambition of the project.

Holland also commented on the impact that Nolan’s hands-on approach can have on the audience, as it offers a fresh alternative to the computer-generated visual effects that dominate many of the big summer releases. The film will premiere in theaters on July 17, and fans are eager to discover the stunning sequences and the elaborate story that Nolan has prepared.

With The Odyssey, Nolan seems to be preparing to continue his cinematic legacy, and undoubtedly, this production promises to be one of the standout releases of the year.

The work promises to take the audience on a colossal adventure filled with fantastic beings and supernatural challenges that will complicate his journey.

The summer blockbuster

In this ambitious project, Matt Damon will take on the lead role of Odysseus, accompanied by a stellar cast that includes Tom Holland as Telemachus, Anne Hathaway as Penelope, Robert Pattinson as Antinous, Zendaya portraying Athena, Charlize Theron as Circe, and Lupita Nyong’o in a mysterious role yet to be revealed. The combination of these actors with Nolan’s direction suggests that a major cinematic event is being prepared.

Despite some critics expressing that their enthusiasm for Nolan’s work has diminished, the director has managed to make each of his premieres feel like a unique event. With each new footage released, the promise of impactful visual storytelling and innovative direction generates waves of anticipation in the film community. Nolan’s ability to tell complex and emotionally resonant stories seems to be key to creating an adaptation that not only respects the original work, but also reinvents it for the modern audience.

The wait concludes next summer with the premiere of ‘The Odyssey’, a film that could reinforce Nolan’s status as a master of contemporary cinema, bringing to life one of the most significant stories in classical literature. The anticipation surrounding this production is growing, and fans are already starting to debate what unexpected twists this new vision of a timeless myth might offer.

The Odyssey finishes its filming and receives an official release date

Christopher Nolan has completed the filming of his adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey, a monumental project that took place in just over three months. In total, the director shot more than two million feet of film, which is equivalent to almost 400 miles.

To bring this ambitious vision to life, Nolan spent four months at sea, capturing the essence of the difficult maritime journeys faced by the ancient Greeks.

The adaptation of one of the oldest stories in humanity

Filming in the ocean represents one of the greatest challenges in the film industry, due to unpredictable weather conditions and the difficulty of repeating takes in a constantly changing environment. As Nolan pointed out, the process was “primal,” highlighting the idea that the actors, who portray the crew of Odysseus’s ship, sailed on real waves and in authentic locations. This experience allowed the production to capture the harshness of those days in unknown waters.

The story of The Odyssey is intrinsically significant due to its setting on the open sea, a space that for the ancient Greeks was considered extremely dangerous and complicated. The difficulty of navigating far from the shore reflected the limitations of the time, where determining geographic longitude was a challenge that would not be resolved until centuries later.

The film, which promises to be an intriguing cinematic journey, is scheduled to be released in theaters on July 17, 2026. With such a meticulous focus on authenticity and the physical experience, this adaptation could redefine our understanding of the classic epic and provide a deep analysis of the challenges faced by our ancestors at sea.

One of the most innovative features of La Odisea is that it will be the first film shot exclusively in IMAX format, using cameras that are 30% quieter than previous versions. This aesthetic decision promises to provide an unprecedented visual and auditory experience for viewers. In anticipation of fans and critics, a brief teaser of the film was shown alongside the release of Jurassic World: Rebirth, hinting at the ambitious aesthetics and narrative of the film.

The cast features an impressive group of actors, including Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, and Lupita Nyong’o, among others.

However, it has been confirmed that IMAX cameras will only be used for some scenes, a decision that aligns with standard practices in several recent blockbusters.

Dune will have a third part, but it will not be named after the book

The official title of the third installment of the saga, Dune: Part 3, has been confirmed by Warner Bros., and it has been decided not to include the word Messiah in its name, despite the connection to Frank Herbert’s original novel. The company has preferred to avoid risks with its promotional strategy, especially considering the success of the previous installments.

The movie will once again feature performances by Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, and Jason Momoa, the latter returning to the saga after his absence in the second part. Dune: Part 3 will also be the last film directed by Villeneuve within this universe. His future in directing seems to be secured, as it has been confirmed that he will take on the highly anticipated reboot of James Bond after finishing the production of Dune 3.

The start of filming for Dune: Part 3 is scheduled to begin soon. This tight schedule could influence the relationship between Villeneuve and Nolan’s project, who is still in the middle of filming his own movie, The Odyssey. While there is speculation about this situation, the exact impact on both directors’ projects is yet to be defined.
