Christopher Nolan returns with ‘The Odyssey’ blockbuster

A colossal budget, a stellar cast and based on one of the greatest stories in Western literature: Christopher Nolan’s latest film “The Odyssey” should be one of this year’s biggest blockbusters.

Over two hours and 52 minutes, the Oscar-winning maker of “Oppenheimer” adapts Homer’s epic Greek poem of the same name, recounting the action-packed return of mythical character Odysseus to his island home Ithaca.

It stars Matt Damon in the lead role, alongside a who’s who of Hollywood stars, including Anne

Hathaway, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Charlize Theron and Robert Pattinson, who delivers a memorable performance as the villainous Antinous.
