The new trailer for Christopher Nolan's adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey has been released online, offering fans a first look at the star-studded cast and the epic journey of Odysseus.
Star-Studded Cast
Matt Damon stars as the mythological hero Odysseus, who embarks on a perilous 10-year voyage back to his homeland of Ithaca after the Greek victory at Troy. The trailer also features Tom Holland as Odysseus's son Telemachus, Anne Hathaway as his wife Penelope, and Robert Pattinson as Antinous, one of the suitors vying for Penelope's hand.
Mythological Threats
Brief glimpses reveal some of the dangers Odysseus faces, including a whirlpool, the Cyclops, and Charlize Theron as the nymph Calypso. The film reportedly has a budget of $250 million.
In July, a cinema-only trailer was leaked online, and in November, Nolan revealed he had shot over 2 million feet of film, all using large-format Imax cameras. The Odyssey is set for release on July 16 in Australia and July 17 in the UK and US.
