Universal Pictures announced Christopher Nolan's next film will be truly epic. He's bringing Homer to the big screen with his version of The Odyssey.

Nolan is also behind epic films including “Inception,” “The Dark Knight,” “Dunkirk” and his most recent film “Oppenheimer,” which scored big at last year’s Oscars when it took home the trophy for best picture. Nolan won that award as a producer, and also took home the Academy Award for best director.
