Christopher Nolan is addressing the runtime for The Odyssey.
The 55-year-old director recently spoke out about just how long his upcoming movie will be, following his 2023 feature Oppenheimer, which has a runtime of three hours.
“One of the things that’s really important to me is to be showing the film wherever possible on IMAX film, projecting the format, because we shot the entire movie on IMAX film, and the longest we’ve ever been able to get onto the IMAX projector is three hours,” he explained of The Odyssey to the Associated Press.
“So we know it’s less than three hours. I can say the film is shorter than Oppenheimer. It’s still an epic, it’s an epic film as the subject matter demands, but it is shorter.”
The film has a massive, star-studded cast including Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Zendaya and Charlize Theron.
The Odyssey chronicles “the ten-year journey of Odysseus, king of Ithaca, back to his home after the fall of Troy,” via GoodReads. Homer wrote it around the 8th or 7th century BC.
The film is currently set to hit theaters on July 17, 2026. Watch the first trailer above!
Christopher Nolan recently called out Timothée Chalamet for an Interstellar scene that “felt too much.”
