EXCLUSIVE 70MM SEASON AT THE ASTOR THEATRE & JAMES STREET FROM JULY 16. Defy the Gods in 70mm. In a visionary reimagining of Homer’s timeless epic, Academy Award-winning auteur Christopher Nolan brings a masterful fusion of myth and spectacle in THE ODYSSEY. Starring Matt Damon as the indomitable Odysseus, this highly anticipated adaptation chronicles the hero’s treacherous journey home after the Trojan War. With a gripping ensemble of talent, Nolan crafts a mesmerizing tale of survival, sacrifice, and defiance. Joining Damon in this star-studded cast are Tom Holland as Telemachus, Anne Hathaway as Penelope, Zendaya as Athena, and Robert Pattinson as Antinous. Charlize Theron, Lupita Nyong’o, Jon Bernthal, and Mia Goth round out the A-list ensemble. After the dust of the Trojan War has settled, Odysseus (Damon), the legendary king of Ithaca, embarks on a perilous odyssey across the seas to reunite with his beloved wife, Penelope, and son, Telemachus. But the gods of Olympus - led by the vengeful Poseidon - have other plans, and each step he takes brings him deeper into a world where the boundaries between man and myth blur. Torn between loyalty, love, and vengeance, Odysseus must confront not only the supernatural horrors that lurk at every turn but also the depths of his own soul. With breathtaking visuals, relentless pacing, and Nolan’s signature exploration of the human condition, THE ODYSSEY is a cinematic tour de force and a journey through the ancient world that is as audacious and ambitious as the hero at its centre. A journey worthy of the Gods, presented as it was meant to be seen - in 70mm.
