Movies The Odyssey (2026) - First Trailer

[Flower2dPeople]

Didn't watch the trailer. Jimmies unrustled.

 

[Bob Gray]

Lol, its already begun. "The helmets arent period accurate". Holy shit. You know what else isnt period accurate? A giant cyclops, singing sirens and every God in greek mythology.

It’s payback for putting white folk in “the Great Wall”

Those Chinese white washing their own history.

It's a sickness now. Hollywood just can't stop. Laughable.

 

[LangfordBarrow]

Shh. You can't criticize a diverse cast, even if people of Asian background were never in Homer's novel.

It's okay to criticize, even the wrong helmet type can pull you from the fantasy, and this is much more blatant. I wonder what the backlash would be if they used makeup/prosthetics or just digitally gave the minority actors the proper features. The Sheik in Ben-Hur was a white guy but with makeup he handed in an Oscar worthy performance and it didn't detract from the movie the way him playing the role without makeup would have.

Most likely Agamemnon. For a few seconds you see Jon Bernthal on the left, who is playing Menelaos, who is Agamemnon's brother.

I think it looks promising. Nolan usually delivers with very few exceptions. Looking forward to it.

Also what's with people complaining about "wrong" helmets? It's greek mythology. Legends. Stories. Folklore. This movie is Nolan's interpretation of it. This can't and won't be a history channel documentary.

At some point it's just nitpicky but it's better to be historically accurate.

 

[LangfordBarrow]

Knowing Nolan. This will be an emptier, soulless, darker, more boring version of Troy, with large, empty set peices, horrible fight scenes, extremely loud bass heavy music with the dialogue on volume 1.

I'm sure we'll all be in awe of the cinematography though..

Yawn.

This is a pet peeve of mine.

They're part of the mythology though even if they didn't exist in real life.

Lols,

This generation is like “please just release it on Netflix as six easy episodes of 30min each so I can pay attention”

This has nothing to do with Netflix, which Nolan's work has never been collaborated with. It's about IMAX runtime due to projectors.

 

[Eusung]

Seems like what people don't like are stylistic choices (lack of color) and historical inaccuracies (costume designs).

TBH I don't really care that much. Braveheart, Gladiator, Apocalypto - three of the best historical epics were all criticized for being historically inaccurate. Especially Apocalypto.

Those Chinese white washing their own history.

This was back when Hollywood and China were doing a lot of collaborations. They even had famous Chinese actors in Ironman at one point. Only to in the Chinese versions. Same with transformers movies. It’s not like that anymore though. Relationship between the two countries have gotten worse

Troy is literally in Asia

 

[Rhood]

Booooooooooooring!!!

They need a better editor for the 2nd trailer, otherwise no one will watch this remake.
The trailer for the original TV film looked more exciting than this.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

I think it looks great, we'll see how it turns out this summer.

Your right !

It’s payback for putting white folk in “the Great Wall”

It is perfectly plausible that white people were in it.

 

[Roids]

The armour looks like super hero armour, more suited to a marvel movie.

 

[ssBaldy]

This looks uninteresting.
Cast is godawful, and it being diverse does not help. Poor Tom Holland is stuck playing teens untul he hits 40.
The person who invented the helmet with the features of Handsome Squidward should be fired.
Overall I doubt it will improve over the miniseries with Armand Assante in anything apart from the visuals.
