July is here, and that means so many big movies are set to be released. One of the big ones will be the next film from director Christopher Nolan, and not just because he shot the entire thing using those massive IMAX cameras. The story of The Odyssey lives up to its name, and there is a lot that has to be covered in one movie. Universal is likely going to lean in on the marketing for this one very hard over the next couple of weeks. They want another Oppenheimer, but who knows if that was truly lightning in a bottle or something that can be replicated down the line. We got a new official trailer that starts the countdown to the release date, and a behind-the-scenes featurette focusing on how Nolan shot the film entirely with IMAX cameras.
