Overview

- Christopher Nolan’s adaptation was shot entirely on IMAX film, with a new noise‑reducing blimp and mirror system developed to capture intimate dialogue.
- Damon describes the shoot as uniquely demanding with no downtime, and says he trained heavily and cut weight to about 167 pounds for the role.
- The ensemble includes Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, Jon Bernthal, Mia Goth, Lupita Nyong’o, Elliot Page and others.
- Damon criticizes Oscar campaigning as backward even as he acknowledges The Odyssey’s impact; Universal plans a July 17, 2026 theatrical release.
