This summer is lining up to be a huge year for movies, and while there are plenty of projects with big stars and directors behind them, perhaps no film has as much anticipation behind it as The Odyssey. The Odyssey, which will be released in theaters on July 17, is set to be an epic retelling of Homer’s classic tale, with all the support of a big blockbuster studio film behind it. Not only has Universal Pictures assembled one of the most impressive casts in Hollywood history to star in The Odyssey, but the film was written and directed by Christopher Nolan. Nolan is fresh off the most successful movie of his career with Oppenheimer, which grossed nearly $1 billion at the box office before collecting a mountain of hardware at the 2024 Academy Awards.
