Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is easily one of the most anticipated Hollywood films of the year. Starring Matt Damon in the lead, alongside Tom Holland, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, and an ensemble cast, the epic is set for a grand worldwide release on July 17.
Now, fans have received an unexpected bonus even before the film reaches theatres.
A nearly 30-minute behind-the-scenes documentary, The Odyssey-The Making of an Epic, has quietly started streaming on JioHotstar ahead of the film’s release.
The featurette offers an inside look at Christopher Nolan’s ambitious adaptation of Homer’s timeless epic, exploring the massive production, extensive location shoots, and the filmmaking techniques used to bring the legendary story to the big screen. It also revisits the legacy of the original poem that inspired the film.
For Nolan fans, who are always fascinated by his filmmaking process, it serves as the perfect appetizer before the main event. More importantly, the documentary offers plenty of behind-the-scenes insight without giving away major plot points.
With anticipation already at its peak, this surprise OTT release is likely to generate even more excitement ahead of The Odyssey’s theatrical debut.
Those planning to watch the film next week may want to check out The Odyssey – The Making of an Epic on JioHotstar first. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the making of one of the biggest and most ambitious Hollywood productions of the year before experiencing it on the big screen.
