The Odyssey tickets vanish as Nolan's epic Imax run sells out weeks ahead
Fans desperate to see Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey' in Imax 70mm are hitting a wall. Variety reports that a fresh batch of tickets released this week sold out in hours, with zero seats left in major cities like New York and LA through August 19th.
The frenzy is being held up as proof audiences crave ambitious filmmaking. The Hollywood Reporter points to this year's successes, including 'The Odyssey,' as evidence viewers want movies 'made the hard way,' while CG-heavy franchise offerings are seen as lazy.
Even the cast felt the strain. According to /Film, star Matt Damon called the entire shoot a challenge, singling out one particular scene as the toughest for him to film.
In related ancient-world news, Collider has a story on Tom Hiddleston, who says a teenage visit to Pompeii sparked a lifelong passion that led to his new documentary series.
