Jonathan Nolan Has Seen 'The Odyssey,' And Gave Us His Honest Review Of His Brother’s New Film

Cinema Blend

The 2026 movie schedule is filled with a vast array of exciting titles, and Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of "The Odyssey" is definitely shaping up to be one of them. Nolan is primed to jump into mythological territory with this latest motion picture, and early looks at the film have sparked hype (and nitpicks) from the public. While fans still have to wait several months to see the finished film, Nolan’s brother, Jonathan, has already screened it. And, luckily, the younger Nolan shared his take on the film while speaking with CinemaBlend.  Filmmakers are known to screen early cuts of their movies for friends, family and colleagues. So the notion of Jonathan Nolan having already seen his brother’s latest film does make a lot of sense. CinemaBlend just recently caught up with the "Fallout" producer, during which we broached the subject of the older Nolan’s highly anticipated historical epic.

00:13had some fun conversations with Chris about where he was taking it. It's a spectacular film.

00:17Oh, you've seen it in its entirety.

00:18I'm not sure I'm supposed to say that, but yes, it's tremendous. Some of my earliest memories are of Chris

00:31or three years old, he was already – my mom had given him my dad's Super 8 camera, and he

00:38was already hard at work. So it's been a long journey.
