Universal Pictures has officially released a brand-new behind-the-scenes featurette titled “On the Set” for Christopher Nolan’s highly anticipated film, The Odyssey. Offering a rare glimpse into the production of the mythic action epic, the video gives a tease on the grand scale of the project, which was filmed entirely using brand-new, state-of-the-art IMAX® film technology.
The blockbuster is scheduled to arrive across UK and Ireland cinemas on 17 July 2026.
Written and directed by Christopher Nolan, The Odyssey brings Homer’s ancient Greek saga to IMAX cinema screens for the very first time. The huge production was shot across various locations worldwide, capturing the mythic elements of the classic epic poem not previously seen.
Nolan has assembled an elite, star-studded ensemble cast to bring the ancient heroes and gods to life, including Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Zendaya and Charlize Theron.
The newly released featurette shows the intense physical demands of the shoot and focuses on Nolan’s continued commitment to practical filmmaking on 65mm film. The Odyssey is being produced by Emma Thomas and Christopher Nolan through their production company, Syncopy, with Thomas Hayslip serving as executive producer.
