Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey (July 17th, 2026)

[spindrift]

Was hoping for the Prisoner. Rats.
No wonder he said Gladiator 2 was his favorite of 2024. He is now going into the same vein of subject matter.
Teah Tenet was insufferable.

Nolan doesn't write women very well, so I guess expect more Zendaya like this...

I assume Maggie Gyllenhaal will be playing Helen of Troy or Aphrodite or someone?

Will Nosferatu suffice?

Yes it will. Going to see it Saturday.

Craig Bond is the Chani of the Bond franchise.

He is sulking while drinking a martini.

He is sulking when flirting..

He is sulking when driving an aston martin.

He is sulking when winning a fight.

He is sulking when falling in love.

He is sulking just being Bond.

They are the same...

Nolan has been approached several times about doing Instellar sequels. Consider that a quasi payoff / olive branch from Warner Bros. Also a companion prestige TV series ( about the Lazarus Missions, those are truly potential huge narrative grounds to cover )

Was also approached to allow a Inception prestige TV series, with Joseph Gordon-Leavitt in the lead, but Elliot Page's involvement in the first film killed that concept fast.

Rumors are he has shown some interest in a Moby Dick concept. Also is apparently a fan of Justin Cronin's The Passage ( It was a short run and poorly made TV series, but the original book is actually a pretty great story)

Where I think he's be interesting right now? Stephen King's The Gunslinger series.

damn doubt I'll catch it then but don't mind waiting for it to hit streaming to watch.

Just found The Return is available to rent on Prime for $10.

I've been waiting for someone to make an Odyssey film, but the cast sounds terrible. Why can't Nolan hire new actors, or at least less well-known ones?

Because the known big name actors bring in their own audiences. But I kind of agree here, I think even if Nolan went will all newbies people would still show up because he’s built his own following now arguably beyond any other modern directors and that includes Tarrantino

Very interesting

I do hope Nolan takes the TV miniseries route someday. He, if anyone, could get a studio to fork out film budgets for a miniseries for sure - I think he could do wonders if not constrained by a 2-3 hr timeline to tell a story.

However, I do know it’s unlikely given Nolan is all about preserving the film format and the tradition of going to watch films on the biggest screen possible.

I had to read a summary of the story to remind myself of what creatures and imagery is in it.

If Nolan sticks to it, with how he handles effects, it could be gargantuan in scale if handled right.

Saw it on Friday. It was a good movie.

Anthony Hopkins will be Poseidon.

Will Tom Hardy play Odysseus? Or maybe Scylla with 6 heads (6 roles)?

Cillian Murphy...?
