Christopher Nolan shoots epic sea voyage for The Odyssey, viral TikTok video shows storm scene on huge ship set
Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is releasing next year, and fans are already buzzing. In a TikTok video that's now gone viral, a user filmed part of The Odyssey filming right from their backyard. The footage shows a ship floating in a water tank encircled by towering green screens, hinting at the film's ambitious blend of practical sets and visual effects. Let's unpack what the TikTok video shows and dive into everything we know so far. What does the viral TikTok video reveal about The Odyssey? The clip captures a ship set built over a water tank. Surrounding green screens suggest heavy VFX integration, typical of Natak-scale scenes like stormy seas or mythical adversaries. You can spot actors and crew around the vessel, hinting at filming practical sequences before CGI effects are added. Though brief, the clip offers a rare, up-close glimpse at the production, teasing the scale and artistry behind the mythical epic. When is Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey releasing? The Odyssey is scheduled to debut in U.S. theatres on July 17, 2026, distributed by Universal Pictures. Nolan's first full-length adaptation of Homer's epic is already building massive anticipation, with IMAX tickets selling out globally. Here's a sneak peek into the set of #TheOdyssey 🎬, #ChristopherNolan's next epic featuring #MattDamon, #Zendaya, #TomHolland, #AnneHathaway, #RobertPattinson, and #CharlizeTheron.📸: @fotogramas_es #BTS #NEWS The Odyssey global release date is yet to be announced, but it is expected to hit theatres on July 17, 2026. Who's in the cast of The Odyssey? The film features a star-studded cast, including: Matt Damon as Odysseus Tom Holland as Telemachus Anne Hathaway as Penelope Zendaya, Lupita Nyong'o, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, Jon Bernthal, Elliot Page, John Leguizamo, Benny Safdie, and more. What is The Odyssey about? Christopher Nolan's adaptation follows Odysseus's ten-year journey home after the fall of Troy. Expect iconic mythological encounters: the Cyclops Polyphemus, the Sirens, Circe, and Poseidon's wrath. The story weaves in Telemachus's search for his father and Penelope's struggle in Ithaca. Nolan reportedly keeps the famously non-linear structure of the original poem. Christopher Nolan's ambitious project is in full swing with beautiful locations, sets, and controversy The Odyssey filming began in February 2025 across global locations, from Morocco's desert and Sicily's coast to Greece, Scotland, and Iceland. The entire film is shot on IMAX 70mm film cameras, making it Nolan's most expensive and ambitious project ($250 million budget). Production has drawn controversy due to shoots in Dakhla, a contested Western Sahara region. Critics argue that this unintended involvement could normalise occupation. The Odyssey promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime cinematic event, from its star-studded cast and epic filming locations to Christopher Nolan's insistence on immersive IMAX visuals. And now, thanks to a chance backyard shot, fans got a small behind-the-scenes moment they won't forget.

KPop Demon Hunters: BTS' Jungkook's Soda Pop cover earns BIG reaction from voice of Jinu, ‘Pointed out a mistake…'
KPop Demon Hunters is one of the most viral things to come out of 2025— we're looking at you, nine-toothed dolls— and anyone online would have caught a glimpse of the phenomenon by now. BTS have previously expressed their liking towards the movie, including impromptu covers and dance challenges. With 2 possible sequels and a live-action being eyed for the future of the story, it's unlikely that the connections would die down any time soon. It's no surprise that the stars behind the show have gotten utterly famous, and the man behind Jinu- not Ahn Hyo Seop - but the singer Andrew Choi, have gained a lot of fans. Reacting to Jungkook's cover of one of the songs in the Netflix film, he showered praise on the BTS member. KPop Demon Hunters star calls Jungkook a 'true vocalist' In a video shared by Straits Time Online, Andrew Choi, the 'The thing that I love about Jungkook is that he sings with such ease, which is a sign of a true vocalist. Jungkook's performance is 11 out of 10,' he said while reacting to a song cover of Soda Pop that the BTS member did casually during a livestream. Watching the video further, he noticed how a lyric error in the track was noticed by the K-pop star. 'Jungkook pointed out a mistake in the movie's OST Soda Pop. I didn't even notice it. No one seemed to have noticed it until Jungkook took a listen to it. So thank you, Jungkook, for that.' Moreover, another video showed the singer picking his own version of the Saja Boys lineup in real life. He started off with the BTS maknae Jungkook with his superstar power and all-rounder base, and then moved to another maknae from NCT, Mark, for his rapping skills. He continued by adding Cha Eun Woo for visuals, often believed to be the biggest inspiration for the character of Jinu, especially after his Free OST cover with Arden Cho, the voice actor for Rumi. Strong vocalists in the form of EXO's Baekyun or D.O. were his next pick, and adding to that DAY6's Young K, would form his version of the perfect demon group from the animated film.

Park Bo Gum receives surprise of lifetime from BTS' V during The Seasons last show: ‘I'd love to shoot…'
BTS' V and Park Bo Gum's friendship goes way back, and now that both stars have completed their military service, fans have had more opportunities to witness their interactions. After their recent week-long shenanigans-filled trip to Paris for a fashion event, the two have been inseparable. And the singer managed to surprise his industry senior and friend with a video message during the last broadcast of his music talk show, The Seasons: Park Bo Gum's Cantabile. Expressing sadness about being unable to make an appearance in person, V added how he'd like to shoot together someday. BTS' V and Park Bo Gum: A friendship made in visual heaven During a shoot for The Seasons: Park Bo Gum's Cantabile's last episode with the When Life Gives You Tangerines actor as its MC, BTS member V and Park Bo Gum 's dear friend, made a surprise appearance via a video message. Appearing shocked, the star seated in front of the screen could only stare and mutter an 'Oh', as the supportive clip played in front of him. Meanwhile, the singer said the following over harmonious cheers and claps from the audience. 'Hello! I'm BTS' V. Since it's Bo Gum hyung's [show] Cantabile's finale episode broadcast, I'm filming this video. Bogum hyung sent me a text, 'Taehyung-ah, when do you want to come on [the program]?' But I'm in the US to prepare our next album, and so I couldn't make it. I find it very unfortunate as well. If one day there is another chance, I'd like to do a shoot together. And, to the audience who have so far cherished and loved Cantabile, I hope you had a great time with Bogum hyung that could turn into a good memory. We will release an amazing album next spring. Please look forward to BTS' music as well. I'll work hard! Thank you!'
