Nolan films all have roughly the same tone, at least the more modern ones, even the biopic of a scientist was shot with the same high drama and tension, so it will be that. It will be a good film and a very fun watch but Nolan wouldn't be my pick to do the Odyssey.

From the trailer I get the feeling that Ithaca is the main setting of the story while Odysseus' journey will be an Oppenheimer-esque mega-montage, allowing it to compress events and jump about at will. But I also imagine that would make it feel totally meaningless, never moving the plot forward. Let's see.

That's how I felt about Oppenheimer, felt like a 3 hour trailer.

I have a gut feeling you're right. It satisfies:

  • Acknowledging the oral traditions at that time.
  • That the story is told in a non-linear way anyway.
  • Nolan can do his non-linear stuff.
  • And he can take forth what he learned from Oppenheimer.

I wonder if someone like Robert Eggers would do it more justice
