Director Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey has been rated “R” by the Motion Picture Association, which means filmgoers under the age of 17 will be required to have a parent or guardian accompany them when screening the film.
As Variety points out, most of Nolan’s other summer movies, such as his Dark Knight trilogy, earned PG-13 ratings, although an R rating didn’t prevent Oppenheimer from earning over $330 million at the domestic box office.
The trade also reports that audience demand for premium format tickets such as IMAX 70mm “appears to be so high that AMC‘s ticketing app paused briefly. Sales have resumed, but wait times are up to an hour. … Fandango’s website also appeared to be dragging with users experiencing long wait times.”
The Odyssey is the first film in history – and one of Nolan’s longest movies – to be shot entirely in IMAX, a milestone commemorated by the movie’s official popcorn bucket, which is in the shape of an IMAX camera.
The first teaser trailer for Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, which began playing in movie theaters at the start of this month, has been posted online.
Although brief, the first teaser for The Odyssey certainly gives fans plenty to chew on as it shows Tom Holland’s Telemachus confronting Jon Bernthal’s character about the whereabouts of his father, Matt Damons’ titular Odysseus.
The teaser is being uploaded to social media and taken down like a game of whack-a-mole, so if the video below is no longer available, we apologize, but such is the nature of the internet. With people likely posting the trailer online for the foreseeable future, perhaps Universal Pictures relents and decides to properly post it online sooner rather than later.
Just in case, we’ve included a detailed description of the trailer below, too.
