Christopher Nolan's next film announced: The Odyssey. As in Homer's Odyssey. July 2026 release. Holy shit, is all I can think for the moment!

Ah I was hoping it would be one of those Odyssey true stories starring Brian Dennehy that the mother used to send me down the video shop for. Always a bad oul buzz as a minimum guarantee

These ones..



Jaysus they were awful. Just look at that flashing saying you would have to endure nearly 3 hours of it

No no, Brian Boytano. Not fucking Brian Dennehy! Jesus.

Oh... byeeee!

Christopher Nolan's next film announced: The Odyssey. As in Homer's Odyssey. July 2026 release. Holy shit, is all I can think for the moment!

I haven't read it, and I know he does long movies, but would one movie cover it?

He does epic better than anyone, so I've high hopes for this.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

I'd say it'll def be at least a 3 hour affair, but doable at that: The Odyssey is slightly shorter than, say, any of the three installments of the LotR. Cast so far (all of whom were announced before the actual project but none attached to specific roles yet):

Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron

Fairly strong, though nothing I'd personally be going crazy for yet. I'd say in the older age range there'll be a few big names yet to come.

[Emphyrio]

His casting is always excellent, despite me being a bit apprehensive initially, I can't think of any actors who disappoint. Apart from your man in Tenet, but that was his only movie that I felt a bit let down.

I'll push The Iliad and Odyssey up the reading list so.

Funnily enough I scrolled past something to do with Troy about a week ago and thought it was a surprise that nobody had done a really good adaption of The Odyssey and wondered why. Then the very next week Nolan announces he's doing it.

Cast list looks a bit 'Hollywood' to me for a film like this, but I am willing to concede Nolan might know what he is doing a little more than me. Looking forward to this regardless as I love Greek mythology. I even really enjoyed Troy despite knowing it's objectively shite.

Along similar lines, watched Jason and the Argonauts the other day. Still amazing. The skeletons scene still holds up amazingly well today!

Please god they'll cast Brian Dennehy in it or else it's not the proper oddyssey

[Carnage]

Are there zombies in The Odyssey?

Sonic 3. Simply amazing. Just when you thought hedgehogs couldn't possibly go any faster, they go faster. And Keanu Reeves put in a spellbinding performance as Shadow. It was all you could hope for from a film about small but incredibly fast moving spiny mammals. A bit early to say it's a classic but it's up there.

I had the good fortune of seeing that one in the cinema with the kids the other day. Very lucky to catch it on the big screen while I could

Always love these sorts of quality reviews.

I went to Nosferatu today, amazing looking film but was quite disappointed with it if I'm being honest. I hated the character design for Orlok too.

[Sworntothecans]

Loved Nosferatu, Eggers absolutely killed it. Thought the design of the Count was rather cool and played into the whole Slavic folklore vibe. Looking forward to the Blu Ray as it's gonna have an extended cut of the movie.

I was first back home after Christmas last night and eager to decompress. Managed to (literally) scrape together the makings of a pinner and threw on Pacific Rim which I'd never seen before. What a terrible movie: it was perfect! 

[Sworntothecans]

I rewatched that a few months ago and I do enjoy it. Massive robots battering Kaiju is good craic. The sequel is fucking awful though.

[Carnage]

The forst one was the only film I caught on the Imax screen in Dublin. Shite film but was good craic spectacle-wise.
