Christopher Nolan is set to direct a film adaptation of Homer's Odyssey, featuring a star-studded cast including Matt Damon as Odysseus and Tom Holland as Telemachus. The narrative is expected to have a non-linear structure, resembling past Nolan films. As Odysseus faces various challenges on his decade-long journey home, his wife Penelope and son Telemachus confront their own struggles with suitors seeking Penelope’s hand, hinting at a complex interplay between timelines and character arcs, making this adaptation distinctively Nolan-esque.
If Tom Holland is really playing Telemachus, that means The Odyssey will have a non-linear story structure, much like past Nolan films like Memento and Oppenheimer.
While Odysseus is making his 10-year journey home, his wife Penelope and son Telemachus are forced to deal with a horde of unruly suitors seeking Penelope's hand.
Now that we know Matt Damon is playing Odysseus, that leaves an obvious role for Tom Holland: Telemachus, Odysseus' son who grows up while the hero is fighting in the Trojan War.
The cast is starting to stack up, ranging from stars Matt Damon and Tom Holland to Mia Goth, who will apparently play a non-speaking role.
