00:00Help me go home.
00:01A new trailer for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, starring Matt Damon as Odysseus, just dropped.
00:07Ithaca's king is coming back.
00:09No, he's not.
00:14The clip gives us our first proper look at the not-so-mythical Cyclops
00:18and a preview of the cinematic feast that audiences can expect
00:21when the hotly anticipated epic hits theaters on July 17th.
00:26This is a household waiting for master.
00:31I want you to choose me.
00:34The trailer gives glimpses of Tom Holland as Odysseus' son,
00:38Anne Hathaway as Odysseus' wife Penelope,
00:41and Robert Pattinson as Penelope's villainous suitor.
00:45What would he do if he came back here and find all these suitors in his house?
00:50You're pining for a daddy you didn't even know.
00:54The film is an adaptation of Homer's ancient Greek epic The Odyssey
00:57that tells the story of Greek hero Odysseus' long,
01:01torturous, and fantastical trip home back to Ithaca after the Trojan War
01:05to save his wife and son.
01:07I can still save them.
01:11You're a man who needs to control his fate.
01:14The trailer also features cast members Charlize Theron,
01:17John Leguizamo,
01:18and Jon Bernthal.
01:19Though Nolan is a surefire thing at the box office given his stellar track record,
01:23the Odyssey is still something of a gamble,
01:25given that the source material may not be familiar to general audiences,
01:29and the budget of the film is reported to be $250 million,
01:33making it the Oscar-winning director's most expensive film of his career.
