Christopher Nolan's adaptation of Homer's Greek epic 'The Odyssey' is set to be a cinematic event, with a release date of July 17. The film stars Matt Damon as Odysseus, the king of Ithaca, who embarks on a treacherous journey home after the Trojan War.
The supporting cast includes Anne Hathaway as Odysseus's wife Penelope, who fends off suitors with her son Telemachus, played by Tom Holland. Zendaya portrays the goddess Athena, while Robert Pattinson plays the conniving suitor Antinous. Other notable names include Charlize Theron, Benny Safdie, and Jon Bernthal.
The ensemble also features Elliot Page, Lupita Nyong'o, and several of Nolan's past collaborators, promising a rich retelling of the ancient myth. The film is expected to combine Nolan's signature style with the epic scale of Homer's poem.
