The actors of The Odyssey, the highly anticipated film adaptation of Homer’s classic work directed by Christopher Nolan, have expressed notable enthusiasm for the project. Tom Holland, who plays Telemachus, the son of Odysseus, praised the script, stating that it is the “best script” he has read in his career. During an interview, Holland emphasized Nolan’s collaborative nature, highlighting that “Chris is a true collaborator” who is open to ideas and character development.

For his part, Benny Safdie, one of those involved in the production, also shared his experience on set, describing it as “incredible” and “large-scale.” He stated that the magnitude of the production is hard to express, and added that it was an honor to be part of such a large project.
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. The Odyssey, which tells the arduous journey of Odysseus back to Ithaca after the Trojan War, is scheduled to hit theaters on July 17, 2026, generating even more anticipation around this promising project.
