Hollywood stars Matt Damon and Tom Holland have been filming scenes for their new movie The Odyssey in Scotland. Directed by Christopher Nolan, the movie is based on a poem written almost 3,000 years ago about Greek hero Odysseus and his journey home after years away at war.

While the movie doesn't hit theaters until July 17, 2026, Universal Pictures is taking a bold and rarely seen approach to ticket sales. As Variety first reported, Imax tickets for The Odyssey will go on sale on July 17, 2025—a full year before its release.

Ridley Scott is no stranger to excellent sci-fi, and this 2015 Matt Damon film is one of his very best in the genre.
