Director Christopher Nolan has made some of the most spectacular films
of the 21st century: "The Dark Knight," "Inception," "Interstellar,"
"Dunkirk" and "Oppenheimer."
With each new film, the scale and ambition of Nolan's storytelling seem
to reach new heights.
In 2008's "The Dark Knight," the filmmaker collapsed an entire building
before the Joker, played by the late Heath Ledger, sped off in a school
bus. In his last film, 2023's "Oppenheimer," which won seven Academy
Awards, Nolan tackled a subject of immense proportions: the nuclear bomb
and the man who made it, J. Robert Oppenheimer.
It's only fitting that his latest film, coming to theaters July 17,
takes on a nearly-3,000-year-old Greek epic, the bard Homer's "The
Odyssey."
Actor Matt Damon plays Odysseus in "The Odyssey." It is his third film
working with the director, having played roles in "Interstellar" and
"Oppenheimer" previously.
"I think what separates him from other directors is… the stories he
wants to tell are incredibly ambitious. And the way he wants to tell
them is incredibly ambitious," the actor told correspondent Scott Pelley
in an interview.
"In this case, he wanted to do it 100% in IMAX, which had never been
done. And that wasn't even announced, because we didn't know if we could
do it."

How do we know who attended Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's star-studded
1,000-guest wedding this weekend, despite the details being as closely
guarded as national security secrets?
Because the A-listers who attended from the world of movies, TV, music,
sports, fashion and the arts were dying to tell us about it — or at
least strongly imply it.
The union of Swift and Kelce, two of the biggest celebrities in the
world, managed to completely dominate the internet despite the fact that
guests reportedly had to check their phones at the door and sign NDAs.
Perhaps the biggest trend of the weekend was a superstar guest posting
themselves on Instagram or TikTok in an ultra-glam, black-tie fit paired
with an enigmatic caption. If you know, you know.

Marvel boss Kevin Feige once said back in 2017 at a Guardians of the
Galaxy Vol. 2 presser that when it came to the studio’s embrace of
deeper character comic book stories like Black Panther and Ant-Man, “The
biggest risk was not [in] doing them. The biggest risk would have been
doing Iron Man 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.”
As such, the revived DC Studios under Guardians of the Galaxy franchise
filmmaker James Gunn and Conjuring franchise producer Peter Safran has
plans to do exactly that: Not to gavage moviegoers on a diet of
Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, but rather build secondary DC
characters into diamond properties.
A 2024 Anthony Fantano video, improbably enough, is back in the
conversation this week.
By now, your endless scroll has alerted you to the resurfacing of the
music critic and The Needle Drop personality's review of Halsey's most
recent studio album as of this writing, 2024's The Great Impersonator.
While Fantano handed the album "a light to decent 1," it was otherwise
met with largely favorable reviews.
Seemingly, though for reasons that aren't entirely clear, the review in
question has received renewed attention amid coverage of Fantano's
recent interview with Olivia Rodrigo, whose excellent new album you seem
pretty sad for a girl so in love is currently atop the Billboard 200
chart.
