Christopher Nolan is no stranger to blockbuster hype, but this time the buzz around his upcoming film isn't all praise. Ahead of its July 17 release, "The Odyssey" has become one of the most talked-about, and most trolled, films of the year, with trailers racking up hundreds of thousands of dislikes on YouTube even before a single ticket has been sold. Here's a why the internet has turned on one of Hollywood's most anticipated releases.
What Is The Odyssey About?
Nolan's follow-up to his Oscar-winning "Oppenheimer" is a big-screen retelling of Homer's ancient Greek epic poem, tracing King Odysseus's long and dangerous voyage home after the Trojan War. Shot entirely on IMAX film cameras, a first for any movie, the $250-million project boasts a stacked cast including Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron and Lupita Nyong'o. India gets a direct connection too, with actor Himesh Patel playing Eurylochus, one of Odysseus's key companions.
