Filming Across the Globe
Directed by the visionary Christopher Nolan, The Odyssey is bringing Homer’s timeless tale to life with an all-star cast including Matt Damon as Odysseus, alongside Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, and more.
The production has been capturing stunning visuals in some of the world’s most breathtaking locations:
- Morocco: Filming kicked off in late February 2025 at the historic village of Aït Benhaddou. This UNESCO World Heritage site, with its dramatic desert landscapes and ancient architecture, perfectly evokes the epic’s mythic settings.
- Italy: The crew then moved to Sicily, specifically the island of Favignana, which many believe inspired the “goat island” from the original Odyssey. Its rugged coastline and turquoise waters add authenticity to the story’s maritime adventures.
- Aeolian Islands, United Kingdom, and Ireland: Additional scenes are being filmed in these diverse locations, capturing everything from wild coastal cliffs to mysterious ancient ruins.
Epic Scale, Stellar Cast
This sprawling production brings together a remarkable cast that promises to deliver powerful performances. Fans can look forward to a fresh, immersive take on Odysseus’s legendary voyage, blending Nolan’s signature storytelling style with the grandeur of classic mythology.
