Christopher Nolan’s forthcoming feature film adaptation of Homer’s “The Odyssey” is shaping up with new behind-the-scenes imagery. The released stills, sourced from Empire Magazine, spotlight Anne Hathaway as Penelope, Mia Goth as Melantho, and Tom Holland as Telemachus.
The project, headed by Oscar-winning director Christopher Nolan (known for “Oppenheimer” and acclaimed blockbusters), places the mythic journey of Odysseus from the Trojan War back to Ithaca into a modern cinematic frame. The story follows Odysseus’ perilous voyage home to his wife and son, encountering a range of creatures and dangers along the way.
The new images show Hathaway in the role of Penelope, a figure awaiting her husband’s return while navigating suitors and the complexities of loyalty; Goth portrays Melantho, one of Penelope’s maids, whose loyalties may be tested; Holland is confirmed as Odysseus’ son, Telemachus.
For viewers unfamiliar with the classic narrative, Odysseus’ prolonged absence leaves Ithaca vulnerable as suitors circle, creating a potential ticking-clock element that could anchor the film’s dramatic tension as the king strives to return home.
