‘Odyssey’ Robert Pattinson Also Praises This Summer’s Top Must-See! “On the Set” Video Released

With its domestic release set for Aug. 5, the film 〈Odyssey〉, hailed as one of the summer’s biggest must-sees, is drawing attention by unveiling an “On the Set” video that captures the vivid scenes from the shoot and the candid stories of the director and cast.

First, Christopher Nolan said, “〈Odyssey〉 is a massive story and a truly fascinating challenge,” and shared his thoughts on bringing “The Odyssey,” known as humanity’s first great epic, to the screen. For this project, he traveled across the world—Morocco, Greece, Scotland, Italy, and more—capturing the astonishing landscapes of nature on screen, and brought to life the grand journey of myth in vivid detail. Through this, he plans to deliver once again an overwhelming visual experience that can be had only on the screen. Matt Damon, who plays Odysseus, said, “This is the biggest and most ambitious film among everything I’ve done so far,” expressing strong confidence in the project. Zendaya, who plays Athena, added, “Christopher Nolan presents scale, action, and fantasy, and at the same time he captures emotion and humanity, as well as the depths and the rawness of it all,” showing deep trust in Nolan’s distinctive, unmatched directing style.

Tom Holland, who plays Odysseus’s son Telemachus, said, “This work is the result of the director’s every skill and experience coming together,” and offered his respect and praise for Nolan. Meanwhile, Robert Pattinson, who plays Antinous, the man seeking to take advantage of the opening left behind by the non-returning Odysseus, said, “From the moment I read the script for the first time, I thought this story was a perfect fit for the director,” adding to his confidence in the film. He went on, “From the audience’s perspective, you find yourself imagining what it would be like to watch this film. Honestly, I’m even more excited as an audience member,” and said, “I want to see how this film will turn out soon,” raising expectations as he conveyed that even the actors involved are waiting for the release like one more viewer. In particular, the video includes everything from the difficult voyage of Odysseus battling storms out on the vast sea to the sight of countless warriors banding together to set up the massive Trojan horse, heightening anticipation for the grand mythic world and overwhelming spectacle Nolan will bring.

With the director and cast offering such strong conviction firsthand, the film 〈Odyssey〉 is set to heat up theaters on Aug. 5 with an unprecedented scale, a grand epic narrative, and an overwhelming cinematic experience.
