Christopher Nolan's Odyssey is set to make a splash in 70mm IMAX format, and soon. While some lucky fans secured tickets for the opening night over six months ago, a taste of Nolan's cinematic masterpiece may be available much sooner. According to Deadline, Universal is strategically embedding a six-minute prologue of Odysseus' epic journey into 70mm IMAX screenings next month, likely before the re-releases of 'Sinners and One Battle After Another'. But that's not all - a shorter preview will also accompany IMAX screenings of 'Avatar: Fire and Ash'.
Despite the buzz surrounding the film, Universal has been tight-lipped about the IMAX footage that Nolan has been hyping in the press. The Odyssey will be a groundbreaking achievement, as it will be the first movie ever shot entirely on IMAX 70mm film cameras. However, the studio has only released a single photo of Matt Damon, which might soon become a repeat of this year's 'The Whale' publicity blunder. The teaser trailer for The Odyssey, attached to 'Jurassic World Rebirth', has also not been officially released online, though AI-generated versions are already circulating on YouTube. It's a delicate balance between building anticipation and avoiding spoilers, and Universal seems to be walking that tightrope.
