Director Christopher Nolan is set to adapt Homer’s “The Odyssey” for the big screen, with Universal Pictures unveiling plans for a massive, action-packed epic. The film, which will open on July 17, 2026, will be shot exclusively in new IMAX technology and will mark the first time an adaptation of Homer’s classic saga has been displayed on IMAX screens.
Nolan, known for his use of large format film, has expressed admiration for innovative engineering and camera technologies. “They have an incredible engineering staff… doing extraordinary work,” he said. This film will be Nolan’s second collaboration with Universal Pictures, following the success of “Oppenheimer”, which earned nearly $1 billion at the box office and won several Oscars.
While details remain scarce, Nolan is eager to bring his unique vision to IMAX screens, promising an immersive experience for audiences. With rumors surrounding the plot and casting still circulating, fans can expect more information as the production nears its start date.
