About The Odyssey

The production represents a technical milestone, even by Nolan’s standards. The Odyssey is the first film ever shot entirely using IMAX cameras, a goal the director and his regular cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema achieved by working with manufacturers to develop lighter, quieter versions of the format’s cameras, addressing the size, noise and logistical issues that had previously made shooting entirely on IMAX impractical. The film was shot across multiple international locations including Greece, Morocco, Italy, Iceland, Scotland and Ireland, with the production spending a significant period in the Messinia region of western Greece before moving to Sicily and other locations. Ludwig Göransson, who won an Oscar for his score on Oppenheimer, returns to compose the music.

The cast assembled for the project is among the largest in recent Hollywood history. Matt Damon plays Odysseus, the legendary Greek king of Ithaca, whose decade-long journey home after helping defeat Troy forms the spine of the story. Tom Holland plays his son Telemachus, Anne Hathaway plays his wife Penelope, Zendaya plays the goddess Athena, Samantha Morton plays the sorceress Circe, Robert Pattinson plays Antinous, and Lupita Nyong’o plays both Helen of Troy and Clytemnestra.
