Christopher Nolan changed what a blockbuster could be with Oppenheimer. Yes, it opened alongside Barbie as half of Barbenheimer, but just on its own it made a new case for maximalist, large-scale, epic filmmaking. It also sparked a new interest in large-format 70mm film, with screenings at the handful of theaters that offered them selling out in moments.
Now, Nolan is back, and doubling down on the grandness by adapting one of the most epic stories ever told: The Odyssey, Homer’s ancient work detailing Odysseus’ decade long journey home after his Trojan horse plan helped the Athenians take Troy. With an all-star cast and a historic fully-IMAX shot production, The Odyssey is set to raise the bar even more. In the new trailer released during The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, we got an even better look at what to expect on screens this summer. Check out the trailer below:
