Christopher Nolan on how faithful his Odyssey film will be

booksMay 9, 202614304

Christopher Nolan said in a rare interview that he will adapt Homer's The Odyssey for cinema while honoring the poem's original non-linear narrative. Nolan plans to translate the poem's episodic jumps and time shifts onto screen, promising a structure that echoes flashbacks and simultaneous timelines. The latest trailer shows a fully awake Cyclops and confirms Elliot Page in the cast, reuniting Page with Nolan for the first time since Inception (2010). That approach would reset how filmmakers adapt ancient epics by treating narrative form as a central creative choice alongside spectacle.
