  2. The Odyssey (2026) – Review

    It seems like Christopher Nolan has always been drawn to men playing gods. If it isn’t Batman and his rogue’s gallery trying to bend the fortunes of Gotham City to their will, it’s the magicians of The Prestige who are willing to bend physics themselves to best one another – and let’s not forget Oppenheimer trying to harness promethean fire with devestating results. Well, it seems that Nolan has finally decided to cut out the middle-man and deal with the Gods directly as he’s decided to tackle one of the greatest stories in human history: The Odyssey. But with an unimaginable amount of expectation to meet as he adapts one of the most important and epic stories ever told, can the man famous for bringing brains and tangibility to the blockbuster do justice to Homer’s Odyssey?
    Well, if anyone can, Nolan can – and he has, in a way that shatters preconceptions that he might retreat back to more standard dramatic fare post Oppenheimer. Witness a filmmaker at the height of his abilities delivering his grandest experience yet.

    Something is rotten in the kingdom of Ithaca due to the king-shaped hole that been left by the twenty-year absence of Odysseus. After leaving to fight in the Trojan War under the orders of Agamemnon, the king had all but vanished on his way home, despite a multitude of stories that told of his victory thanks to the gambit of the Trojan horse. This is cold comfort to his wife Penelope and his son Telemachus, who have been inundated with suitors ever since, who each hope to move in on the kingdom by any means necessary. While Penelope has to invite them in due to Zeus’ law that requires you to accept guests in order to honor the Gods, noblemen, such as the sneaky Antinous, plot and scheme in order to goad the young ruler-in-waiting into making a rash mistake.
    But while Telemachus chooses to make the hazardous journey to Sparta to get more information from King Menelaus about his father, and his mother tries to deflect Antinous’ advances, what actually did happen to Odyssey after the sacking of Troy? Well, quite a lot as it happens, as we piece together an epic journey that takes more traumatic left turns than a road trip with an incontinent passenger. Heading of from Troy, we discover that Odysseus and his men opted not to take the same journey as Agamemnon (who made it home relatively quickly) and decided to take a more scenic route for reasons known only to their king. However this means that the group soon come up against a series of dangerous occurrences such as a giant, sheep-herding Cyclops; raging storms delivered straight from Posiedon; the hulking, armoured Laestrygonians; vengeful witches and various other horrors; but while Odysseus’ men start getting whittled down, his determination to get them home only grows.
    But Penelope can’t stall forever and while Telemachus is in growing danger from Antinous’ ambition, can Odysseus free himself from whatever brain-frying predicament he’s found himself in to save his kingdom and his family?

    There are many reasons to be in awe of The Odyssey – the acting, the scope, Nolan’s ever-audacious obsession with trying to realise as much of Homer’s tale as he can in-camera – but the main one for me was the way he seems to be channeling those old, Ray Harryhausen movies like Clash Of The Titans and Jason And The Argonauts through his super-serious filter much as he did with Batman throughout his Dark Knight Trilogy. While more modern takes on Homer’s work strangely opted to leave out some of the more fantastical elements of the stories (the de-Godding of 2004’s Troy, for example), Nolan fully embraces it. OK, so he hasn’t got some guy in a beard and a toga playing Zeus, but we do get a selection of mythical obstacles that range from a truly breath-taking Cyclops encounter, to a body-horror courting moment featuring Samantha Morton’s furious witch, Circe. But while he’s scratching that mythological itch, Nolan’s keeping some other balls in the air that’s powered by his love of scrambling up the chronology of a timeline.
    Fittingly for a film based on one of the oldest stories in existence, a lot of The Odyssey is partly related as stories itself, thanks to multiple flashbacks that fill in the full story as various characters relate them. The truly stunning Trojan Horse sequence is a harrowing mission behind enemy lines told by Jon Bernthal’s Menelaus, and large patches of Odysseus’ prior adventures are told by a genuinely exhausted looking Matt Damon to Charlize Theron’s tricksy Calypso, that either play as examples of high adventure, or play as traumatic, literal voyages into Hell.

    But while Nolan seems to be juggling a multitude of genres to get the full scope of Homer’s vision across, he also gives the growing tensions back in Ithaca the feel of a political thriller as both Telemachus and Penelope have to figure out how to out-maneuver various suitors in order to keep their grasp on a kingdom that has no king. The result is nothing short of stupendous, and while my sole gripe is that the director is still responsible for drowning out important dialogue with a blaring score (Really, Chris? Still?), it’s a minor gripe when you’re watching the results of a master craftsman peojected on a screen roughly the size of a block of flats.
    But while Nolan is utterly dedicated to doing this right, he’s backed by an absurdly stacked cast who all would seemingly defy the Gods for him if he’d ask. This truly could be Matt Damon’s The Revenant as you can see the genuine fatigue etched on his features as the toll of all his experiences gnaw at his soul. Similarly, Tom Holland is something of a revelation here as it’s the first non-web shooting role I’ve seen him in where he’s truly excelled, and while the growing cult of Zendaya may be irked that (much like Dune Part 1) she’s mostly just a glorified cameo, Anne Hathaway is a force of nature as Penelope as she tries to manipulate those who would covet her throne from behind the limited safety of a protective screen. Everyone is on their A-game; Robert Patterson adds another snivelling cad to his rogue’s gallery of duplicitous scum-bags, Bernthal give raspy advice, John Leguizamo convinces as a blind old man, Lupita Nyong’o, Himesh Patel, Elliot Page… the list goes on and on.
    From Agamemnon’s Batman style helmet, to shots of a genuine crew rowing a real Greek boat on the actual ocean, Nolan’s eye for style also still remains unparalleled, but for all his usual, nonlinear, time-jumping tricks and devotion to high drama, the most impressive thing here is that director’s ability to shift gears to stop each, potentially episodic encounter, from feeling repetitive despite almost all of them end involving Odysseus’ crew running back to their boat in a panic.

    Nonlinear, epic, long – while The Odyssey sure sounds like Christopher Nolan is in his comfort zone, the true result is arguably his most challenging film to date. Thankfully, it also is utterly worth the effort and may well and truly be the most accomplished work yet of a director who seemingly knows no bounds. However, if Nolan has now managed to conquer Homer and greco-Roman wrestled him onto the screen unlike any other, where the Hell does the director possibly go next? A question for the Gods, methinks.

  7. Amazon MGM divulga trailer de “Caminhos do Crime” e reúne Chris Hemsworth, Halle Berry e Mark Ruffalo em thriller de ação

    A Amazon MGM Studios divulgou o trailer oficial de “Caminhos do Crime” (Crime 101), novo thriller policial que marca o reencontro de Chris Hemsworth e Mark Ruffalo nas telas, desta vez longe do universo da Marvel. A prévia aposta em um visual estilizado e atmosférico para apresentar um jogo de gato e rato entre um ladrão meticuloso e um detetive obcecado por padrões, ambientado nas rodovias e paisagens ensolaradas da Costa do Pacífico.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeEHsuZ4Ja4

    Baseado no conto homônimo de Don Winslow, o longa acompanha um ladrão de joias de alto nível interpretado por Hemsworth, que opera segundo um rígido código moral enquanto executa assaltos sofisticados ao longo da Pacific Coast Highway. Embora a polícia atribua os crimes a cartéis colombianos, um detetive experiente vivido por Ruffalo passa a desconfiar de uma lógica diferente por trás dos roubos e concentra sua investigação em um único suspeito, acreditando estar diante de um criminoso prestes a realizar o golpe final.

    Dirigido por Bart Layton, conhecido por “O Impostor” e “Animais Americanos”, o filme é descrito nos bastidores de Hollywood como um thriller elegante e tenso, evocando o espírito de clássicos do gênero como “Fogo Contra Fogo”, de Michael Mann. Layton também assina o roteiro ao lado de Peter Straughan, reforçando o viés mais psicológico e moral da narrativa.

    Além da dupla protagonista, o elenco reúne a vencedora do Oscar Halle Berry, que interpreta uma corretora de seguros em crise pessoal que acaba cruzando o caminho do criminoso, e Barry Keoghan, em um papel descrito como imprevisível e potencialmente desestabilizador. O time ainda conta com Monica Barbaro, Corey Hawkins, Jennifer Jason Leigh e Nick Nolte, ampliando o peso dramático da produção.

    O projeto foi disputado por grandes estúdios e plataformas, com a Amazon Prime Video desembolsando cerca de US$ 90 milhões para garantir os direitos do filme, superando uma oferta da Netflix. A produção envolve nomes de peso como Tim Bevan e Eric Fellner, da Working Title, além da RAW e da Wild State, com o próprio Chris Hemsworth entre os produtores.

    No Brasil, “Caminhos do Crime” tem estreia marcada para 12 de fevereiro, exclusivamente nos cinemas. Após a janela teatral, o longa será incorporado ao catálogo da Prime Video.

  8. Prévia de ‘A Odisseia’ será exibida nas salas IMAX

    A Universal Pictures deu um novo passo na campanha de divulgação de “A Odisseia”, novo filme de Christopher Nolan, com a confirmação de que um prólogo de aproximadamente seis minutos será exibido exclusivamente em cinemas IMAX 70mm a partir de 12 de dezembro. A prévia antecederá os relançamentos de “Pecadores” e “Uma Batalha Após a Outra”, que retornam às salas por tempo limitado.

    Na semana seguinte, a partir de 19 de dezembro, uma versão mais curta — mas ainda considerada o trailer completo — será exibida antes das sessões de “Avatar: Fogo e Cinzas”, de James Cameron. O prólogo permanece disponível apenas nas exibições IMAX da sequência de “Avatar”.

    A iniciativa reforça a parceria histórica entre Nolan e o formato IMAX, especialmente após o desempenho expressivo de “Oppenheimer”, que teve cerca de 20% de sua bilheteria global proveniente de salas IMAX 70mm. “A Odisseia” estabelece um novo marco tecnológico: é o primeiro longa da história filmado inteiramente com câmeras IMAX.

    Descrito como um “épico de ação mítico”, “A Odisseia” é a releitura cinematográfica do clássico poema de Homero e representa o projeto mais ambicioso da carreira de Nolan, com um orçamento estimado em US$ 250 milhões. O longa é também a primeira grande produção da história a ser filmada inteiramente com câmeras IMAX, reforçando o compromisso do cineasta com a experiência exclusiva em salas de cinema.

    A Odisseia reconta a jornada épica de Odisseu, rei de Ítaca, que enfrenta monstros, deuses e tentações para voltar para casa após a Guerra de Troia. A trama, considerada um dos pilares da literatura ocidental, incluirá passagens icônicas como o embate com o ciclope Polifemo, o canto das sereias e o encontro com Circe, a deusa-feiticeira que será vivida por Charlize Theron.

    O elenco é liderado por Matt Damon no papel de Odisseu. Também fazem parte do épico Tom Holland, como seu filho de Odisséu, Telêmaco, além de Anne Hathawaycomo Penelope, esposa de Odisseu, Robert Pattinson como Antínoo, Jon Bernthal como Menelau, Mia Goth como Melantho, John Leguizamo como Eumaeus, Zendaya como a deusa Atena, Charlize Theron como a deusa Circe, Lupita Nyong’o, Benny Safdie, Elliot Page, Himesh Patel, Bill Irwin, Samantha Morton, Jesse Garcia, Will Yun Lee, Rafi Gavron, Shiloh Fernandez, Corey Hawkins, Nick E. Tarabay, Jimmy Gonzales, Maurice Compte, Michael Vlamis, Iddo Goldberg, Josh Stewart, Ryan Hurst, Anthony Molinari, Jovan Adepo, Logan Marshall-Green, e James Remar.

    O primeiro teaser do longa foi exibido no verão passado antes de “Jurassic World Rebirth” e “Superman”, acompanhado da abertura antecipada de ingressos para sessões IMAX limitadas — que se esgotaram em minutos, ecoando o fenômeno criado por “Oppenheimer” em 2023.

    Ainda não há confirmação oficial sobre a exibição do prólogo no Brasil, já que os relançamentos em IMAX anunciados nos EUA não foram confirmados no país. No entanto, fontes do setor consideram provável que o trailer exibido junto a “Avatar: Fogo e Cinzas” também chegue aos cinemas brasileiros.

    As filmagens ocorreram em locações internacionais, incluindo a Ilha de Favignana, na Sicília, identificada por estudiosos como uma possível inspiração para uma das paradas de Odisseu em sua jornada.

    Nolan dirige, roteiriza e produz o filme ao lado da parceira de longa data e esposa Emma Thomas, via a produtora Syncopy. A fotografia será assinada por Hoyte Van Hoytema, colaborador habitual do diretor.

    “A Odisseia” estreia em 16 de julho de 2026 nos cinemas.
