Christopher Nolan is set to surprise audiences once again after the success of ‘Oppenheimer’. The film won seven Academy Awards and was the sensation of last year, but the British director wants more. His new project, ‘The Odyssey’, will be shot entirely with IMAX cameras. It will be the first commercial feature film to do so. This was revealed by IMAX Corporation CEO Rich Gelfond in Cannes.
Gelfond, speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, explained the conversation with Nolan. “Chris called me and said, ‘If you find the solution to the problems, I’ll do ‘The Odyssey’ 100 percent in IMAX. And that’s what we’re doing,” he said. Barring a surprise, the film will hit theaters in July 2026 and looks set to be a great experience for the viewer with the usual Nolan stamp.

IMAX cameras exclusive to Nolan
It’s not an easy task from a technical point of view. “It forced us to rethink that aspect of our business: our film recorders and our movie cameras,” said Rich Gelfond. In fact, the aforementioned media points out that these new cameras are, for the moment, only for Christopher Nolan. When ‘The Odyssey’ is released, they will be available to other professionals.

‘Oppenheimer’ hits $190 million in IMAX theaters
Christopher Nolan’s commitment to this technology will allow for a higher visual quality that the viewer will appreciate. In addition, the British director has already seen, thanks to Oppenheimer, that IMAX screens are to the liking of his audience. 20 percent, $190 million, of the total gross of his last film was thanks to the projection in this type of theaters.
Nolan’s ‘Odyssey’
Nolan’s next project, ‘The Odyssey’, will be released in July 2026. The film will be based on Homer’s poem, composed in the 8th century BC, and will feature a stellar cast of actors and actresses: Tom Holland, Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, Jon Bernthal, John Leguizamo and Benny Safdie, among others.

Ditching the drama: Why a 49ers-Brock Purdy deal was so essential this offseason
The San Francisco 49ers almost had to complete Brock Purdy’s extension before OTA practices begin later this month.First, they needed to avoid even a whiff of the dysfunction that marked last year’s offseason, one in which Brandon Aiyuk’s and Trent Williams’ contract issues overshadowed — sometimes seemingly by design in Aiyuk’s case — everything that was happening on the field.AdvertisementThat, in conjunction with the injuries and aftereffects of a 20-game 2023 season, led to the most disjointed spring and summer sessions the 49ers have had under Kyle Shanahan. And that choppy, fractured feeling — like the team wasn’t fully coalesced — spilled into the regular season. The 49ers never found their footing and finished 6-11.What’s more, the team had to get its money business out of the way this offseason because of all the business it must address on the […]
2025 PGA Championship missed cuts: Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Ludvig Åberg among stars not playing weekend
Getty Images Friday's action at the 2025 PGA Championship could be split into two parts. One was the battle for position at the top of the leaderboard as there were plenty of opportunities to climb into contention after the first-round leaders all stagnated. The other battle was happening further down at the cut line, which was 1 over coming into the day and barely ever moved off that number.A few of golf's biggest stars barely skirted into the weekend: Rory McIlroy bogeyed his final two holes to fall back to 1 over after looking like he would be under par following a resurgent second round, while Xander Schauffele had to play the back nine in 2 under just to make the cut on the number.Some stars were not as lucky, though. Jordan Spieth, Shane Lowry and Sepp Straka all missed […]

Mets’ Juan Soto met with boos at Yankee Stadium
NEW YORK — The booing started in batting practice, intensified when the starting lineup was read over the PA system and reached its crescendo at 7:10 p.m., when Juan Soto, deciding to have a little fun, doffed his helmet before stepping into the Yankee Stadium batter’s box in the gray uniform of the visiting New York Mets for the first time.

Soto left the Yankees, who he helped reach the World Series last year, for the Mets and a record $765 million free-agent contract this past offseason. Friday is the first game of 2025 Subway Series (GameTracker). They'll play three games in the Bronx this weekend, and three games in Citi Field in July.How would Soto be received by the Yankee Stadium crowd? Listen for yourself: No love lost, I would say. Soto, after acknowledging the crowd, would work a 3-0 count against Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodón before eventually drawing a five-pitch walk.When it was time to play in right field, some of the fans in the bleachers turned their backs on Soto: Soto had an incredible season for the Yankees […]
