Universal has offered a new look at The Odyssey, its Imax event film from Christopher Nolan that’s based on the ancient Greek epic poem from Homer. The filmmaker was in attendance to tout the project.
We’ve already seen a trailer unveiled for the film. But in Las Vegas this afternoon, we got a look at footage of Matt Damon’s Odysseus, king of Ithaca, speaking with Calypso (Charlize Theron), a nymph who’s kept him hostage on her island for seven years after washing ashore post-Trojan War.
“How long have I been here, Calypso?” He asks. “I don’t remember anything before Troy. Did I have a wife, children, maybe a son? If I had a son, how old would he be now?”
We cut to his son, Tom Holland’s Telemachus, who is told the tale of the Greeks’ raid on a Troy by Jon Bernthal’s Menelaus.
