All of these actors are also extremely well-known faces from the industry, including Elliot Page, Himesh Patel, and more.
Christopher Nolan is currently busy perfecting his star cast for his upcoming movie, ‘The Odyssey.’ The feature film is an adaptation of the Greek epic poem written by Homer. The storyline revolves around the Greek King Odysseus and his struggle-filled journey to his home in Ithaca from the Trojan War. On that 10-year journey, Odysseus had to face many hurdles and interruptions from many people (including Gods). The plot also covers how his wife and son deal with aggressive suitors while the King has been away from his kingdom.
Nolan’s feature project already confirmed the lead star cast, including Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron and Jon Bernthal.

Writer/director Christopher Nolan threw us for a loop when it was revealed that his follow-up to the acclaimed award-winning atomic bomb biopic “Oppenheimer” would be a modern adaption of the classic Greek myth epic “The Odyssey” by Homer. The latest group of casting additions, according to Universal, include Himesh Patel (“Tenet,” “Station 11”), Elliot Page (“Inception”), Bill Irwin (“Interstellar”), and Samantha Morton (“The Walking Dead,” “Minority Report”).

Did Elliot Page go on a double date with Leonardo DiCaprio and his mom? (Photo Credit – Instagram/Facebook)
While filming Inception, Leonardo DiCaprio, always the matchmaker, decided to set up his costar with a friend of his. But the plot thickens: DiCaprio tagged along, bringing his mother to join in on the date.
Elliot Page was in his early twenties during the Inception shoot, still navigating his sexuality. Although he hadn’t publicly identified as gay yet, he had shared past relationships with women with his mom. But, as Page explained in his memoir, he struggled with the pressure to conform to what others expected of him. “The closet was grueling, it suffocated me,” he wrote, revealing how he tried to “be the person so many wanted me to be” by dating men, though it never felt authentic.

Tom Hardy portrayed the character of Eddie Brock in Sony’s Venom franchise for six whole years. While the star is known for playing rugged characters on screen, it was his first time being part of a superhero franchise. Needless to say, he won over the fans very quickly with his fantastic performance.

As such, questions about his experience and preparation for the role have hounded the fans for a long time. Surprisingly, Hardy admitted in an interview that he wasn’t quite sold on the idea at first. What changed his perspective, though, was none other than his son.
His son was the one to properly introduce him to the character, and so when he got the script for the movie, the tug of war between the primal and logical self drew him in, and hence the titular character came alive...

Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” has added four more names to its cast, including three stars the “Oppenheimer” filmmaker has worked with previously.
The Wrap has learned that Himesh Patel (“Station Eleven”), Elliot Page (“The Umbrella Academy”), Bill Irwin (“Legion”), and Samantha Morton (“Minority Report”) have all joined the cast of Nolan’s forthcoming adaptation of Homer’s epic Ancient Greek poem. The film’s latest additions join an ensemble that already includes Tom Holland, Matt Damon, Robert Pattinson, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Charlize Theron, John Leguizamo, and Jon Bernthal.
Earlier this week, Benny Safdie also signed on to star in “The Odyssey,” following his turn as Edward Teller in “Oppenheimer.” The new film marks a reunion, though, between not just Safdie and Nolan, but also the filmmaker and multiple past collaborators, including Damon, Pattinson, and Hathaway.

What do you do when you’ve been to the vast reaches of space, reversed the temporal flow, ventured into the dreamscape – and, most importantly, swept the Oscars? With a three-hour, doom-laden, politically-driven historical drama, no less? In the wake of Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan could do basically anything. His choice: go full Homer with an adaptation of epic Greek poem The Odyssey. It should add a new quiver to the legendary director’s bow – his first swords-and-sandals epic, possibly his first fantastical film, and one that brings him a new leading man.
With pre-production rapidly ramping up on Nolan’s next movie, here’s what we know so far:
Tom Holland is said to be the lead
It’s been a while since we’ve seen Tom Holland on our screens – following Uncharted and Apple TV drama The Crowded Room, he’s been treading the boards on the West End in Romeo & Juliet.

As usual, Christopher Nolan is stacking his next project with an all-star cast, and the latest additions include a few Nolan alumni. It’s been announced that Elliot Page, Himesh Patel, Bill Irwin, and Samantha Morton have joined The Odyssey, Nolan’s upcoming adaptation of Homer’s ancient Greek poem.
Page played Ariadne in Inception, while Patel played Mahir in Tenet. Irwin is also a Nolan veteran, but you wouldn’t recognize his face. He voiced Tars in Interstellar and physically controlled the robot on-set. There’s no information on who these new additions will play in The Odyssey, but they join a cast that already includes Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Jon Bernthal, Benny Safdie, and John Leguizamo.

Let’s talk about Hans Zimmer, shall we? This musical genius has given us so many incredible soundtracks over the years that picking a favorite feels almost impossible. From the heart-wrenching melodies of The Lion King to the cosmic grandeur of Interstellar, Zimmer has consistently pushed the boundaries of what film music can be.
But if we’re being honest – and we know this might stir up some debate – his work on Christopher Nolan’s mind-bending 2010 film Inception stands head and shoulders above the rest.

What makes it so special? Well, it’s not just about the music itself; it’s about how Zimmer managed to create a score that literally bends reality alongside the film’s narrative. The way he seamlessly blended orchestral and electronic elements wasn’t just innovative – it was revolutionary.

Leonardo DiCaprio is not only one of the most influential actors of Hollywood, but he is also one of the most eligible bachelors in the industry. While his dating history is long and colorful, there has never been a time where it has seemed he is ready to anchor himself with a partner.

It's been 12 years since Ryan Coogler made his startlingly assured feature filmmaking debut with "Fruitvale Station," but he still feels like an unknown quantity as an artist. We know from "Creed" and "Black Panther" that he's got a knack for imbuing franchise movies with uncommon heart, and no shortage of swagger when it comes to staging dynamite action set pieces. But due to circumstances beyond his control (the death of Chadwick Boseman and the Covid-19 pandemic), he's only made one movie over the last seven years. That's a lot of time for a still-young filmmaker (he's 38) to sit on the sidelines, especially one whose oeuvre is curiously light on original movies.
That's not a knock on Coogler at all. Christopher Nolan directed a remake ("Insomnia") and three Batman movies en route to becoming the most prominent and praised studio filmmaker on the planet, so Coogler is in excellent company. But...

Leonardo DiCaprio Baywatch Story (Photo Credit – Facebook)
Did you know Leonardo DiCaprio nearly joined Baywatch? Yep, Hasselhoff’s decision kept him out of the iconic red swimsuit.
While talking to The Hollywood Reporter, Baywatch producers Michael Berk and Douglas Schwartz spilled the tea about what could have been. DiCaprio, then just a 15 y/o rising star, was ready to dive in as the son of Hasselhoff’s Mitch Buchannon. “We actually had DiCaprio ready to be cast,” Berk shared, setting the scene for a beachside drama that almost had Leo in its lifeguard lineup.
But, plot twist! Hasselhoff wasn’t sold on the idea. “David thought he was too old to play his son,” Schwartz explained, adding that Hasselhoff feared the casting would make him look older. Yeah, the Hoff wasn’t ready to be out-shined by a younger Leo. So, they gave the role to Jeremy Jackson, who was six years Leo’s junior.

How about the Hans Zimmer “bwong” sound in a national anthem? It could happen, with reports coming out of Saudi Arabia that the Oscar-winning composer is in talks to create, or re-create, the country’s national anthem.
In a report published in the Saudi newspaper Al Arabiya, the country’s head of General Entertainment Authority, Turki Al al-Sheikh, met with Zimmer and discussed various projects that the composer could potentially work on, including re-creating the national anthem by “using different instruments.”
The current Saudi anthem, called “The Chant of the Saudi Nation,” was written in 1947 by the Egyptian composer Abd al-Rahman al-Khatib at the request of the country’s founding monarch King Abdulaziz.
According to Al Arabiya, Al-Sheikh also discussed with Zimmer the possibility of a new, original composition called “Arabia,” as well as a possible concert. Zimmer is also reportedly in talks to work on the soundtrack for an...

28 Days Later marked the second collaboration for director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland after 2000's The Beach. While the latter isn't widely seen as a seminal work for either creative, the former certainly is. The 2002 zombie thriller stars Cillian Murphy as Jim, a survivor who attempts to traverse London in search of sanctuary following the outbreak of the Rage Virus in the U.K.
Boyle and Garland returned as executive producers for the sequel, 28 Weeks Later (2007), but Boyle is now back as director and Garland as screenwriter for the upcoming 28 Years Later, which marks a reunion after 18 years of working on their own projects. In those 18 years, Boyle directed movies like Slumdog Millionaire (2008), 127 Hours (2010), and Steve Jobs (2015), while Garland moved into directing with projects like Ex Machina (2014), Annihilation (2018), and Civil War (2024). Now, it's been revealed why the pair didn't work together for so long.

The first movie that Christopher Nolan made for a big Hollywood studio is still the most underrated film of his career — and even the director himself agrees. Ever since his groundbreaking Batman reboot made him a household name, Nolan has practically been a franchise unto himself. Along with Quentin Tarantino, he’s one of the only filmmakers whose name alone can attract huge crowds to movie theaters. No one else could make a blockbuster out of a three-hour biopic of a physicist, but Oppenheimer became Nolan’s highest-grossing non-Batman movie (and third highest-grossing film overall).
Nolan is one of the only directors left who can command a nine-figure budget for an experimental original story. He earned enough trust with Warner Bros. to get them to commit as much money to movies like Inception, Interstellar, and Tenet as they would a reliable comic book movie. Nolan’s next film, a star-studded adaptation of The Odyssey,...

Christopher Nolan crafts cinematic puzzles that fry your brain in the best way possible. But even the genius behind Inception and The Dark Knight had his fair share of haters, claiming he’s all brains and no heart. Enter Interstellar — a space odyssey that slapped those critics sideways with one gut-wrenching, soul-baring scene unlike anything Nolan had ever done.

Hans Zimmer names Inception his most technically innovative film score. Directed by Zimmer's frequent collaborator Christopher Nolan, Inception was released in 2010 and earned over $839 million worldwide. It starred Leonardo DiCaprio among an ensemble cast and followed a group of people with the ability to infiltrate and influence others' dreams. It earned positive reviews and was nominated for eight Academy Awards, winning four.
In a recent interview with Vulture, Zimmer reflected on the creative process behind the Inception score, explaining how he manipulated the very fabric of time through music. He described Inception as a perfect example of this technique, where different musical elements at varying tempos intersected in harmony, creating a soundtrack that was as integral to the storytelling as the visuals. Zimmer also touched on his work for Nolan's Interstellar. Check out his comments below:
Inception because I managed to go and f--k with the very fabric of time.

Hans Zimmer and frequent collaborator Christopher Nolan have quite the bond — so much so that Nolan even courted Zimmer for his 2014 epic “Interstellar” by sharing a very personal story.
Zimmer told Vulture that his favorite Nolan collaboration remains “Interstellar” due to how the project began.
“Chris sent me a letter and said to write whatever came to me. He wouldn’t tell me what the movie was, but he wrote me this fable,” Zimmer said. “It arrived on thick paper, and I know it was typed with his father’s typewriter. It was really about what it means to become a father, how you always look at yourself from then on through your children’s eyes.”
Zimmer continued, “He knows my son Jake very well, so I thought that’s what he was writing about. So I basically wrote a love theme to my son. I finished around ten at night.

Amid the announcement of Christopher Nolan's next magnum opus, an adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey starring Matt Damon, Zendaya, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong'o, Robert Pattinson, and Charlize Theron, two of his most talked-about movies made their way to Netflix. On January 1, the streaming platform added Inception and Interstellar to its streaming library, a nice little New Year's gift for its subscribers as 2025 rolled in.
Starring Leonardo DiCaprio as professional dream thief Dom Cobb, Inception was what the internet liked to call a complete mind-fuck when it first came out in 2010. For many viewers, it did not make a lot of sense up until a second or third watch, yours truly along them. But several five-star reviews, millions at the box office, and eight Oscar nominations later, it became evident that Nolan had broken new ground in Hollywood.

Seven years after Killing Eve debuted, I am still impressed by how the show reversed the fridging trope. Killing Eve followed British intelligence agent Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh) as she pursued the ruthless and unpredictable assassin Villanelle (Jodie Comer). Eve and Villanelle's cat-and-mouse dynamic went in unexpected directions as the two characters became obsessed with each other and developed a complex relationship. After four seasons, Killing Eve's ending proved to be divisive, but the overall series, particularly season 1, still remains well-regarded.
One of Killing Eve's greatest strengths was its ability to reverse the fridging trope, which is primarily associated with female characters. The trope involves characters being killed or harmed as a catalyst for the plot and as motivation for the protagonists. Several Christopher Nolan movies, including Memento and Inception, use this trope, as do many superhero stories, ranging from the death of Peter Quill's mother in...

The intricately designed dream sequences, the emotional undertone of Leonardo DiCaprio’s Dom Cobb and his wife, and the epic finale were a sight to see and it was all thanks to Christopher Nolan’s genius. However, the film didn’t start off exactly as this complex web of dreams.

Did Christopher Nolan crash a Boeing 747? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )
Instead of tinkering with CGI or scaling down to toy planes, Christopher Nolan went full throttle and crashed a real Boeing 747. Because apparently, blowing up a 230-ton jet is just another Tuesday in Nolan-world.
Turns out, buying and wrecking a plane was actually cheaper than faking it. Nolan broke it down, explaining, “We started to run the numbers… It became apparent that it would actually be more efficient to buy a real plane of the real size and perform this sequence for real.”
A place in California had planes lying around (as one does), so Christopher pulled the ultimate “add to cart” move. Cue Scott Fisher (special effects guru) and Nathan Crowley (production design wizard), who figured out how to make a plane-smashing scene work in real life. The result? A hangar-shaking spectacle that even Nolan called “a very exciting thing to be a part of.

In the layered and complicated history of DC’s live-action film industry, one of the most iconic films to ever come into existence was Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy. Spanning the eras of birth, evolution, and death, the three films rewrote DC history through the enigmatic lens of Nolan’s visionary saga.

But for every great creation, there also exists an antithesis that argues against everything that a work stands for. Nolan’s Dark Knight saga too came under fire for representing a worldview that was deemed problematic by some fans. Although art is always up for interpretation and exploration, fans can often lend the wrong meaning to a project, thus ruining its central message and making it divisive among fans, as a result.

Christopher Nolan always aims big, and his latest project is no exception. Renowned for his mind-bending stories and blockbuster success, Nolan is now bringing Greek mythology to life with The Odyssey.
You know, Homer’s ancient epic—the one that’s about gods, monsters, and Odysseus taking the scenic route home for a decade. Well, Nolan’s tackling it with a film that has a million-dollar price tag. It’s so massive, it makes Interstellar and Oppenheimer feel like indie flicks.

The Odyssey is a “mythic action epic” that’ll use groundbreaking IMAX film technology to bring Homer’s sweeping tale to life. If anyone can pull this off, it’s Nolan. But how does The Odyssey’s budget stack up against Nolan’s past films (Interstellar and Oppenheimer)? Let’s break it down!

Christopher Nolan, a revolutionary filmmaker, who has created cinematic masterpieces like Inception, Oppenheimer and The Dark Knight Trilogy, is now set on his most ambitious project yet. His upcoming film, The Odyssey, is an adaptation of ancient Greek poet Homer’s epic poem with a staggeringly high budget.

Nolan is known to use practical effects over computer-generated imagery. Hence, justifying the high cost of production and the ultra-realistic feel of his films. Moreover, with Universal Pictures backing the project, fans have high expectations from this bold cinematic endeavor, set to release on July 17, 2026.

Yes, you read it right. “I really didn’t want to win because just the fact you have such an expectation on you at that time, people almost want you to be perfect in everything you do,” DiCaprio alluded in a 2016 interview with Time Out. “If you’re not, then it’s almost like, ‘Ok, get him out of here; he was lucky once, and now we’re done with him.”
He had a point. Winning young could’ve boxed him in. Instead, it pushed Leonardo DiCaprio to evolve with each role, avoiding typecasting. Fast forward to 2016, after Inception, The Wolf of Wall Street, and Blood Diamond, and he finally grabbed that Oscar for The Revenant—his fourth nomination, and he was ready.

The world of cinema has often blurred the lines between homage, inspiration, and imitation. For instance, Christopher Nolan’s 2010-released movie, Inception took the world by storm with its mind-bending narrative, stunning visuals, and intricate exploration of dreams. Yet, this blockbuster bears a striking resemblance to a fascinating work by a veteran anime filmmaker: Satoshi Kon’s Paprika.

Was Inception inspired by, or even a direct copy of, Satoshi Kon’s 2006 anime masterpiece, Paprika? Released four years prior to Nolan’s blockbuster, Paprika explores the convergence of dreams and reality through advanced technology and psychological intrigue. While some argue that Inception was borrowed heavily from Paprika‘s core premise, others see it as a coincidence or an homage.

Christopher Nolan. The name alone sends shivers down the spine of movie buffs. From perplexing plots to flabbergasting visuals, Nolan’s flicks set the bar for storytelling.
His blend of gripping plots and deep themes? Unmatched. And those box office numbers? A staggering $6 billion. Yeah, the success speaks for itself.
We have seen that 2023 was a golden year for him. Oppenheimer, the historical thriller about the creation of the atomic bomb, shattered records and became a cultural moment. But did you know it’s only his third highest-grossing Nolan film? That’s the magic of the British filmmaker.

Accusations that long-running comedy shows have lifted material from internet sketches isn’t all that uncommon, just as long as the show is Saturday Night Live. But South Park, on the other hand, rarely faces charges of plagiarism. But the animated series did steal verbatim dialogue from an online comedy video one time — although it was apparently a complete accident.
The 2010 episode “Insheeption” parodied the Christopher Nolan blockbuster Inception, which had come out that summer. But in the South Park version, Leonardo DiCaprio and his crew of gun-toting mercenaries enters Stan and Mr. Mackey’s dreams while a doctor is attempting to cure them of their hoarding problems. Oh, and Freddy Krueger is there, too.
The show pulls a lot of its material directly from Inception, including a healthy dose of convoluted nonsense about dream levels and limbo, all accompanied by acapella “BWAAHs!”

Whether he is playing a transgender woman or delivering spine-chilling performances in Christopher Nolan’s blockbusters, he sure has a knack for pulling us into his world and keeping us there. His range is simply insane and let’s not even talk about the Irish charm that gets us all going!

However, as the actor climbed the ranks thanks to his portrayal of the razor-wielding Thomas Shelby, there was something he just couldn’t get used to – being photographed all the damn time.

Christopher Nolan's Oscar-winning movie that made $740 million at the box office has landed on Netflix's Top 10 US chart a decade later. The visionary filmmaker is known for masterfully combining complex storytelling with visual spectacle, which often does very well at the box office, making him the seventh-highest-grossing director of all time, and is often showered with major accolades, including two Oscars. One of Nolan's first films, 2000's Memento, did very well at the box office, grossing over $40 million on a small $5–9 million budget and received two Oscar nods, one for Nolan's nonlinear screenplay.
Nolan's first true blockbuster was The Dark Knight, which made over $1 billion at the box office, the highest-grossing film of 2008, and won two Academy Awards, including Best Supporting Actor for Heath Ledger's menacing performance as the Joker. Next, Nolan leveraged that success to make his own original sci-fi film, Inception, which also saw box office success,...

While the news that Christopher Nolan’s next movie will be an adaptation of The Odyssey is exciting, this does represent a major departure for the director. All of Christopher Nolan’s movies are different, but there are a few major thematic preoccupations that link the director's works to each other. Nolan’s earlier efforts, like Following, Memento, and Insomnia, all tackle the slippy nature of memory and the subjective nature of reality. His Dark Knight trilogy is concerned with narratives of law and order against anarchy, and questions of what constitutes justice in a morally gray, ambitious world.

When Hans Zimmer joined the team behind Crysis 2 in 2011, it was a big deal because of the prestige he carried at the time. Zimmer was renowned for his cinematic scores and was tasked with crafting the game’s main themes, while Borislav Slavov and Tilman Sillescu composed the bulk of the soundtrack.

But Zimmer’s involvement didn’t come without controversy. There were accusations that his work contributed to the “homogenization” of music in media which prompted Slavov to defend the legendary composer. Reflecting on the collaboration, Slavov talked about Zimmer’s invaluable contribution to the ambitious game.

James Bond fans are a finicky lot. Nowadays, the majority of them were introduced to the character via the movies, which invariably drove them to breeze through Ian Fleming's eminently readable novels. When they come out on the other side of that experience, they're either more nit-picky about the films or more open to the multitudes this licensed-to-kill MI6 agent can contain depending on who's writing him and, of course, who's brandishing the trusty Walther Ppk.
Even after reading the books, people's 007 preferences tend to be generational.

Netflix recently added a handful of notable movie titles to their streaming catalog, including two Chris Hemsworth titles that are already trending. As a way to say goodbye to 2024 while welcoming in the new year, the streamer debuted titles such as Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, and Dune: Part Two. In fact, Netflix also acquired 2023's highest-grossing movie with Barbie. With a number of massively popular shows returning in 2025, Netflix thrives on recent blockbusters and older movies starring notable names that may have been missed upon initial release.
Chris Hemsworth is certainly no stranger to streaming. While his MCU movie appearances might garner the most popularity, some of the actor's recent notable releases came on various streaming platforms. Aside from the Extraction sequel debuting on Netflix in 2023, Hemsworth also reprised his role as Thor by voicing the character in What If...? season...

Christopher Nolan’s incredible sci-fi drama, Interstellar, has finally landed on Netflix to ring in 2025, and its awards history may prove surprising given the film’s enduring popularity and acclaim. Since early in his career, Nolan has continued to exemplify a mastery of high-concept sci-fi and action films, such as with Memento, The Prestige, The Dark Knight trilogy, Inception, and Tenet. In the decade since the movie’s release, the argument that the apex of Christopher Nolan’s sci-fi epic filmmaking arrived in 2014 with Interstellar has only received more support, laying the groundwork for the director’s massive achievements with films like Oppenheimer.
Interstellar debuted with positive reviews and an impressive box office showing for a non-franchise Nolan project. Following its IMAX re-release in December 2024, Interstellar has amassed over $740 million against a $165 million budget (via Box Office Mojo), and currently holds a 72% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite the widespread...

Philomena Cunk asking the big questions; the return of one of film history’s greatest villains; the start of a groundbreaking rights deal for live wrestling; an epic Western drama that captures the brutality of the American frontier; Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz headlining a spy caper; and Gabriel Basso returning to his breakout role are some of the highlights among the new films and series hitting Netflix in January.
On Jan. 2, we will see the welcome return of Philomena Cunk on Netflix, perhaps the world’s greatest investigative reporter who is simultaneously the worst informed person on TV. Born from the mind of Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker, deadpan queen Diane Morgan stars once more as Cunk in Cunk on Life, a follow-up mockumentary series to Cunk on Earth and Cunk on Britain.
