The Odyssey

Christopher Nolan's film adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey premiered in London ahead of its general release. Both Channel 4 News and BBC News reported that the film is the first to be shot entirely in IMAX, using a newly silenced camera system.

The cast includes Tom Holland as Telemachus, who described the role as a coming-of-age story. The production involved extensive real-world locations and practical filmmaking. BBC News noted the 91-day shoot across six countries and that the actress playing Penelope was helicoptered to a location to avoid arriving rugged. Channel 4 News included an interview with Nolan and Holland about the technical challenges of the IMAX camera and the mirror system used for eye lines. Both channels mentioned positive reviews and strong ticket sales.
