Christopher Nolan just showed Trojan Horse footage from The Odyssey at CinemaCon. The business math behind this movie is wild.

$250 million budget. His most expensive film ever. First movie shot entirely on IMAX 70mm cameras. No franchise, no sequel, no superhero IP. The source material is a 3,000-year-old poem.

IMAX opening weekend tickets went on sale a full year before release. They sold out in 12 hours. $1.5 million in ticket revenue before a single TV spot aired.

The trailer pulled 121.4 million views in 24 hours. More than Universal's Wicked sequel. More than double what Oppenheimer's first trailer did in the same window.

Today's footage confirmed Charlize Theron is playing Calypso, the nymph who kept Odysseus trapped on her island for seven years. The scene opens with Damon asking her "How long have I been here?" He can't remember if he had a wife or a son.

That's pure Nolan. Starting the story in captivity, with a man who's lost his own identity. The same filmmaker who opened Memento backwards.

The cast is absurd: Damon, Holland, Hathaway, Pattinson, Zendaya as Athena, Lupita Nyong'o, Theron, Bernthal as Menelaus, Safdie as Agamemnon, Mia Goth, Leguizamo, Elliot Page, Travis Scott. Nolan joked it would be faster to list who isn't in it.

His last five films averaged $680 million worldwide. Oppenheimer made $976 million with an R rating and a three-hour runtime about a physicist.

Every studio spent the last decade convinced original films can't open big. Nolan's response: adapt the oldest story in Western literature. Homer's been in public domain for about 2,500 years.

Nolan IS the franchise. His name on a poster does what a superhero logo used to do. Universal figured this out when they signed him after Warner Bros let him walk over a streaming window dispute. Twenty years of partnership, gone.

July 17. IMDb's most anticipated film of 2026. Built from a poem your ninth-grade English teacher assigned.

.@jamestalarico: I've had a lot of interviews with national media. No one's ever asked me about the cost of housing. No one's asked me about the cost of prescription drugs. The only thing the media wants to ask me about are trans athletes.

The only minority destroying this country is the billionaires. Trans people are 1% of the population. Undocumented people are 1% of the population. We are all focused on the wrong 1%.

Trans people aren't taking away our healthcare. Undocumented people aren't defunding our schools. It's the billionaires and their puppet politicians.

Well, it turns out I was right...

Prison breaks do happen. Governments do give witnesses new identities. Intelligence Agencies do smuggle assets out and give them golden handshakes on a nice patch of land somewhere.

> The DOJ have admitted the body in the shared image of Epstein was fake. This is why the news and ears don't align.

> The DOJ said in emails that they wiped the cameras focused on Epsteins cell.

> All the guards were asleep at the time of the Epstein 'suicide.'

> They purposefully leaked the image and post of his death on 4chan as that is where the most theories will stem from, using an image that didn't quite look like him.

> His body guard was warning people in the early 2000's that he was CIA.

> His video game account last played a game that came out in 2023 ans was only available until March 2024.

> Fortnites attempted debunk was crap. No name change '7 days ago' would enable that username being active 2 years ago. Thats why they deleted the post when we weren't buying it, and his brother claimed it was actually him playing from Israel.

The magician has you arguing if the ball is in the left or right hand, meanwhile its in his pocket.

While we were racing to the morgue and the jail, arguing if he was killed or commit suicide, arguing over the method and the size of his cell.

Meanwhile he is bundled into the back of a silver Altimo which is waiting by the laundry shoot, and sat in a safe house, waiting for it to die down before he is placed on a cargo ship heading through the Suez Canal and into Saudi—where he is then smuggled to Israel.
