Film Christopher Nolan's THE ODYSSEY | July 17th, 2026

This is going to end up being really bad. Damon was so badly miscast in the Last Duel. I can't see how he can remotely pull off being an Ancient Greek. Tom Holland doesn't having the acting chops to be in this type of film either. It's going to be a bad Hollywood A-List wankathon of an excellent story. I love Nolan too, but he's going to horribly balls this up.

That's the spirit.
 
I'm sure I'll like this very much, just as I did with Oppenheiemer, but this project doesn't interest me in the slightest. I want sci-fi in the vein of Inception or Interstellar from Nolan.

The thing is what exactly are we expecting from Nolan at this point?! If he had choose to stay in the sci-fi genre only with his next movies after Interstellar for example people would have complaint that he is stagnating as a director and that he is a one trick pony.. i think what defines his movies is the epic scale of the events that unfold.. so he is at his best when there is an epic environment.. The Odyssey is an epic as it gets by design, so i think it will be a good movie, just not the movie i expected from him to be his next..

Nolan never stays in one box. This is just another test for him and he will undoubtedly rise to the occasion. I'm sure he'll mess around with time frames at some point mind.

Yeah, he's undoubtedly one of the best directors of this era. I'm looking forward to this as with any Nolan work. It's hard to pull of an epic scale movie, I feel Nolan and Villenueve do it well.

Yeah, I think it's nice that Nolan tries different things when he's allowed the creative freedom to do just about anything. I just talked from a purely subjective standpoint - I think his sci-fi films are much more singular in the movie industry today and that's why I prefer him to do such films.

Inception and Interstellar are the only true sci-fi films he's made though. Oh and tenet and yet that's his worst reviewed.

Yes, of course. His sci fi films are not his most critically acclaimed films. It's the movies I personally like the most though.

The Prestige is better than both of those imo. Interstellar is actually brilliant. Inception wasn't great for me.

Memento is still his best work imho as for the movies i like/dislike personally - The Dark Knight and Interstellar are my personal favs, Tenet and Dunkirk at the bottom..i actually hate Dunkirk with passion haha
