Pattinson's Odyssey Adventure

Homer's 'The Odyssey' has never had a major Hollywood film!

Composed around 800 BC and spanning ~12,000 lines, the epic has inspired countless works but never a prestige Hollywood theatrical adaptation — until Christopher Nolan's version starring Pattinson.

Homer's 'Odyssey' is ~2,700 years old — one of literature's oldest tales!

The poem spans 24 books and ~12,110 lines, following Odysseus's 10-year journey home after the Trojan War. Christopher Nolan's Universal adaptation, starring Pattinson, is among the most ambitious film versions ever attempted.
