Nolan Tackles The Odyssey, Spider-Man Reborn, and the Minions Invade Hollywood
Ulysses by Nolan, a solitary Peter Parker, Supergirl arriving, a samurai on Max and a motorhome on Prime: a packed week.
Trailer · Off CampusChristopher Nolan takes hold of Homer and it already smells like an intellectual blockbuster worth $300 million. The Odyssey launches Ulysses on a return to Ithaca riddled with trials-cyclops, sirens and capricious gods on the horizon-all signed by the master of cerebral action cinema. We go in blindfolded, to the theater.
