The Odyssey: il film di Nolan sarà il primo girato interamente con cineprese IMAX su pellicola

Christopher Nolan si prepara a riscrivere ancora una volta la storia del cinema con The Odyssey, il suo prossimo colossal ispirato all’epopea di Omero. Non solo il film promette un adattamento visivamente spettacolare del poema greco, ma segnerà anche un primato tecnico assoluto: sarà il primo lungometraggio mai girato interamente con cineprese Imax su pellicola da 70mm.

Come leggiamo su TheWrap, a rivelarlo è stato Rich Gelfond, CEO di Imax, durante un evento stampa a Cannes: “Chris mi ha chiamato dicendomi: ‘Se risolvi i problemi tecnici, girerò The Odyssey al 100% in Imax’. Ed è quello che stiamo facendo”. La sfida era complessa, le cineprese Imax a pellicola sono ingombranti, rumorose e difficili da maneggiare, caratteristiche che ne hanno sempre limitato l’utilizzo a singole sequenze nei film precedenti, tra cui Oppenheimer e The Dark Knight.

Fino a oggi, pellicole come Avengers: Endgame erano state girate interamente in Imax, ma con camere digitali. Nolan, invece, è un convinto sostenitore del formato tradizionale su pellicola, e la sua insistenza ha spinto Imax a innovare il proprio hardware per soddisfare le sue richieste.

The Odyssey: il film di Nolan sarà il primo girato interamente con cineprese IMAX su pellicola

Attualmente in produzione in varie location internazionali, The Odyssey vede Matt Damon nel ruolo di Ulisse, in un viaggio che si preannuncia epico non solo narrativamente, ma anche dal punto di vista visivo. Il film, basato sull’omonimo poema dell’VIII secolo a.C., segue il decennale ritorno di Ulisse a Itaca dopo la guerra di Troia, tra mostri mitologici, divinità ostili e prove estreme.

Il cast è stellare: Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Charlize Theron, John Leguizamo, Jon Bernthal, Benny Safdie, Mia Goth, Himesh Patel, Elliot Page, Bill Irwin e Samantha Morton si uniscono a Damon per dar vita a uno degli ensemble più imponenti degli ultimi anni.

Scritto dallo stesso Nolan, The Odyssey uscirà esclusivamente al cinema il 17 luglio 2026, promettendo di essere non solo un evento cinematografico, ma anche una pietra miliare nella storia dell’innovazione tecnica del grande schermo.

Scarlett Johansson has recalled working with Bill Murray on the 2003 rom-com Lost In Translation.

The two co-starred in Sofia Coppola’s Oscar-winning film about a fading movie star (Murray), who meets and forms a meaningful bond with a conflicted newlywed (Johansson) in Tokyo.

Johansson was 17 at the time, starring opposite a then-57-year-old Murray, who she remembered was “in a hard place.”

“Everybody was on tenterhooks around him, including our director and the full crew, because he was dealing with his… stuff,” she told Vanity Fair in a new cover story.

Without going into further detail, Johansson admitted that she had never worked with an actor in that kind of “headspace” before.

The Black Widow star, 40, recounted reuniting with Murray, 74, in February for Saturday Night Live’s 50th Special Anniversary, where she said he interacted kindly with others on set.

“He’s such a different person now,” Johansson said. “I think life has humbled him.”

Asked if she was referring to the recent inappropriate misconduct allegations Murray faced on the set of Aziz Ansari’s directorial debut, Johansson said: “Certainly, yes — that was really bad.

“But I also know COVID was a hard thing for him,” she added. “Life — all these things have led up to him being held accountable for that kind of behavior. But you know what? How wonderful that people can change.”

In 2022, a female crew member filed a complaint against the Ghostbusters star, accusing him of straddling and kissing her through a mask. The allegations prompted an internal investigation and ultimately led to the movie’s indefinite suspension.

At the time, Murray described the incident as a “difference in opinion,” saying that he had done “something I thought was funny and it wasn’t taken that way.”

He additionally shed light on the controversy last month, explaining: “Someone that I worked with, that I had had lunch with on various days of the week — it was Covid, we were all wearing masks, and we were all stranded in this one room listening to this crazy scene. I dunno what prompted me to do it.

“It’s something that I had done to someone else before, and I thought it was funny, and every time it happened, it was funny,” he claimed. “I was wearing a mask, and I gave her a kiss, and she was wearing a mask. It wasn’t like I touched her, but it was just, I gave her a kiss through a mask. And she wasn’t a stranger.”
