The teaser for the director’s highly anticipated feature is playing only in theaters
Although it’s currently and exclusively only showing in theaters, the first trailer for Christopher Nolan‘s action epic, The Odyssey, has leaked online.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the teaser played before Jurassic Park Rebirth during its first screenings Tuesday. Matt Damon’s Odysseus, his son Telemachus (Tom Holland), and an unknown character played by Jon Bernthal flashed across the 70-second clip alongside the voiceover: “Darkness. Zeus’ law smashed to pieces. I’m without a king since my master died. He knew it was an unwinnable war. And then, somehow, he won it.”
“I have to find out what happened to my father,” Telemachus says in a scene, while Bernthal’s character exclaims: “Who has a story about Odysseus? You? You have a story? Some say he’s rich. Some say he’s poor. Some said he perished. Some said he’s imprisoned.” The camera then cuts to a man laying across driftwood in the sea.
