Christopher Nolan Demands Whisper-Quiet IMAX Cameras To Hear Actors Cry

KEY POINTS

•Christopher Nolan will release The Odyssey on July 17, 2026, starring Matt Damon as Odysseus with a cast including Anne Hathaway and Tom Holland.
•Filming took place in spring 2025 on Sicily’s Favignana island, Morocco, and the UK, with new IMAX technology to reduce camera noise during dialogue.
•The movie's trailer hit 121.4 million views in 24 hours, surpassing Nolan's previous hit Oppenheimer, and features a surprise cameo from Travis Scott.

Christopher Nolan is turning Homer's 'The Odyssey' into a star-studded IMAX epic hitting theaters July 17, 2026. Matt Damon heroically plays Odysseus, with Anne Hathaway as Penelope and Tom Holland as their son—because apparently, the Trojan War needed an Avengers reunion. Filmed during spring 2025 across Sicily's goat-called Favignana island, the UK, and Morocco, the production racked up exotic locations and actor cameos. Nolan insisted on shooting fully on noisily infamous IMAX cameras, forcing engineers to silence what Damon compared to a 'Cuisinart in your face.' Add Travis Scott narrating the Trojan War—surprise!—and the trailer smashing 121.4 million views in 24 hours, beating Oppenheimer’s launch. Because nothing says Greek mythology is ready for Taylor Swift-level fandom like grappling with gods, glue guns, and blenders.

Only Christopher Nolan could decide the camera's blender noise was a bigger myth to overcome than a one-eyed giant. Also, Travis Scott narrates the Trojan War now because why not.
