Christopher Nolan’s New Film “Odyssey” Arrives August 5… A 609km-Scale IMAX Spectacle

A Return to Visual Innovation—‘Odyssey’ to Take Over Screens in August ‘Odyssey’

This year, ‘Christopher Nolan’, the director who’s drawing the most attention in theaters around the world, unveils the massive new blockbuster ‘Odyssey’, which will hit South Korea starting August 5. Originally slated for July 15, the release was pushed back by about a month, bringing the film’s production and technical completion to the absolute limit.

According to distributor ‘Universal Pictures’, this latest work is based on ‘The Odyssey’, Homer’s ancient Greek epic. The film reimagines the perilous journey of the hero Odysseus—who led the Trojan War to victory—up to his triumphant return to his wife, Penelope.

Another major highlight is the ultra-luxury lineup, bringing together top-tier Hollywood stars.

• ‘Matt Damon’

• ‘Tom Holland’

• ‘Anne Hathaway’

• ‘Robert Pattinson’

• ‘Zendaya’

• ‘Charlize Theron’

Most striking is the visual innovation that pushes beyond technical limits. The film was boldly produced by shooting the entire movie with ‘IMAX’ film cameras. Over a 91-day production run, the amount of film used reached an astonishing 609km—an unmistakable sign of the overwhelming visual splendor and the remarkable cinematic experience that will be remembered in film history.
