Christopher Nolan on how faithful his Odyssey film will be

booksMay 9, 202612256

Christopher Nolan said he will honor Homer’s "original non-linear narrative" when adapting The Odyssey for cinema. The film’s latest trailer shows the Cyclops awake, and Elliot Page is set to appear, reuniting with Nolan more than a decade after Inception. Preserving the poem’s jumps in time points to a high-concept, chronologically complex epic that will reshape expectations for how ancient epics are staged on screen.

I had a dream that the new Christopher Nolan Odyssey movie had body horror centaurs who had gay sex on screen and I was like "this is a lot more daring than I need told!"

Gay body horror you say?

Hey, if you think Christopher Nolan is deviating too far from the source material, just wait until you see Super Mario Odyssey.

Elliot Page is set to appear in ‘The Odyssey’, marking a major reunion with Christopher Nolan more than a decade after they worked together on 2010’s ‘Inception’.

Look, I know we all like to make fun of the "historical accuracy" pedants, but can we all agree that this line from The Odyssey trailer was a little much?

The latest trailer for Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey has everything any Homer stan could ask for.

The best version of The Odyssey meme is really funny because that movie isn't even out yet It's a Christopher Nolan movie those are usually pretty good

I think I could handle people's wildly abnormal response to the concept of a Christopher Nolan Odyssey if they weren't just flat out making up stuff

I disliked the stylistic choices, cinematography, and general attitude of Nolan's Odyssey based on the trailer, but then a really smart person scolded me and told me The Odyssey wasn't real? Rocked my whole world. Christopher Nolan just do whatever

Best film adaptation of The Odyssey - wrong answers only

A screen shot from imdb. A scene from Paul (2011) with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.

I'm not the biggest fan of the recent Christopher Nolan movies, but the way people complain about the armor in The Odyssey trailers, or the fact that Tom Holland says "dad" instead of "father", feels to me like lots of people have already decided to hate on Nolan and this movie in advance.
