\n\tChristopher Nolan<\/a>\u2018s hotly-anticipated epic The Odyssey<\/a> released a new trailer on Monday night and audiences are certainly in for a cinematic feast judging by the latest clip. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe Universal Pictures release doesn\u2019t hit theaters until July 17, but the hype is building and will only increase after the latest trailer which gives us closer look at Greek hero Odysseus\u2019 long, torturous and fantastical trip home from the Trojan War, back to Kingdom of Ithaca to save his wife and son.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the clip we see glimpses of the key players including Matt Damon<\/a> in the lead role, Odysseus\u2019s son Telemachus (Tom Holland<\/a>), Odysseus\u2019s wife Penelope (Anne Hathaway<\/a>), the nymph Calypso (Charlize Theron<\/a>) and Penelope\u2019s snivelling suitor Antinous (Robert Pattinson<\/a>) who is seeking to marry the queen and become the ruler of Ithaca. The trailer also features Odysseus\u2019s servant Eumaeus (John Leguizamo<\/a>) and Jon Bernthal<\/a> as Menelaus, the Greek king of Sparta and Agamemnon\u2019s brother.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe main cast also includes Zendaya<\/a> as the goddess Athena, Benny Safdie<\/a> as Agamemnon, Himesh Patel<\/a> as Eurylochus, Mia Goth<\/a> as Melantho, Jimmy Gonzales as Cepheus and Lupita Nyong\u2019o and Will Yun Lee<\/a> in an unspecified roles.<\/p>\n

\n\tWe also have our first proper look at the not-so mythical Cyclops. The film is an adaptation of Homer\u2019s ancient Greek epic the Odyssey, and includes the sirens and other elements of mythology. <\/p>\n

\n\tNolan shot the film entirely on Imax cameras, and the battle scenes in the trailer, which look quite incredible are sure to be awe-inspiring once viewed in theaters on the correct large screen format. <\/p>\n

\n\tThough Nolan is surefire thing at the box office given his stellar track record, The Odyssey is still something of a gamble given the source material may not be familiar to general audiences and the budget of the film is reported to be $250 million, making it the Oscar-winning director\u2019s most expensive film of his career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Christopher Nolan\u2018s hotly-anticipated epic The Odyssey released a new trailer on Monday night and audiences are certainly in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":469190,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[263],"tags":[26253,28756,8279,30852,18,117,205882,19,17,20040,25255,205883,8000,27490,327,11751,30853,18237,205884,18238],"class_list":{"0":"post-469189","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-anne-hathaway","9":"tag-benny-safdie","10":"tag-charlize-theron","11":"tag-christopher-nolan","12":"tag-eire","13":"tag-entertainment","14":"tag-himesh-patel","15":"tag-ie","16":"tag-ireland","17":"tag-john-leguizamo","18":"tag-jon-bernthal","19":"tag-lupita-nyongo","20":"tag-matt-damon","21":"tag-mia-goth","22":"tag-movies","23":"tag-robert-pattinson","24":"tag-the-odyssey","25":"tag-tom-holland","26":"tag-will-yun-lee","27":"tag-zendaya"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/469189","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=469189"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/469189\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/469190"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=469189"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=469189"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=469189"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
