Christopher Nolan Says The Odyssey Is Shorter Than Oppenheimer
Christopher Nolan revealed that “The Odyssey” will be shorter than “Oppenheimer.”
In a conversation with the Associated Press published Tuesday, Nolan revealed that his highly anticipated film would not be as long as his last film – which netted him a Best Picture and Best Director Academy Award. Despite a shorter length, he promised a massive scale.
“It’s an epic film, as the subject matter demands,” Nolan said. “But it is shorter.”
He added: “There’s a massive amount of pressure. Anyone taking on ‘The Odyssey’ is taking on the hopes and dreams of people for epic movies everywhere and that comes with a huge responsibility. What I learned from [making ‘The Dark Knight’ trilogy] is that what people want from a movie about a beloved story, a beloved set of characters, is they want a strong and sincere interpretation. They want to know that a filmmaker has gone to the mat for it. I really tried to make the best film possible.”
Here is a full list of runtimes for all 12 of Nolan’s films:
- “Following” (1998) – 1h 9m
- “Memento” (2000) – 1h 53m
- “Insomnia” (2002) – 1h 58m
- “Batman Begins” (2005) – 2h 20m
- “The Prestige” (2006) – 2h 10m
- “The Dark Knight” (2008) – 2h 32m
- “Inception” (2010) – 2h 28m
- “The Dark Knight Rises” (2012) – 2h 44m
- “Interstellar” (2014) – 2h 49m
- “Dunkirk” (2017) – 1h 46m
- “Tenet” (2020) – 2h 30m
- “Oppenheimer” (2023) – 3h
“The Odyssey” is making movie history regardless of its length. The film is the first to be shot entirely on Imax cameras rather than switching between various types of cameras and aspect ratios. Nolan brought more hype toward the film’s scale when he showed a snippet of it at CinemaCon earlier in April.
“‘The Odyssey’ is a story that has fascinated generation after generation for 3,000 years. It is not a story, it is THE story,” Nolan told exhibitors at the time. “This is a story about family. this is a story about a father’s desperate journey to return home, not just to reclaim his kingdom, to save his wife, the Queen, who’s been managing this king for 20 years, his absence, who’s fighting to save her son from increasingly hostile world.”

Megyn Kelly ripped into Madonna’s appearance at the 2026 Video Music Awards, calling the music icon “needy.”
The “Confessions II” singer came out on top Sunday night at the awards show with seven trophies, including Artist of the Year and Best Collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter for their song “Bring Your Love.”
Madonna’s opening performance during the show featured dancers that had a laser seemingly coming out of their crotch area. Kelly railed into the singer, saying that it was unnecessarily vulgar.
“It’s really more of a butt exercise they’re simulating if I’m being honest because I don’t think most people have sex like that,” she said, commenting on the video in real time on Monday’s episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show.” “I don’t know if this is simulated blow jobs or what.”
Kelly also said that the singer started “bombing” while accepting an award later in the night. Madonna pretended to pull the laser out of her butt and drop it.
“Again, the picture of class. Um, sad, but that’s what she thinks is entertaining,” she said.
During another part of the show, Madonna asked the production team to raise the mic, so she wasn’t having to bow down to it, joking that she has “been bowing down to people for too long.”
“What the what? Who? You’re Madonna,” Kelly asserted. “Who have you bowed down to? Give me a break. Stop trying to act like you’re a victim.”
“Could you please try to find a more empowering narrative for age 68, please? I’m begging you,” she added. “She stinks of desperation.”
Later the former Fox News host made fun of Madonna for not even trying to lip sync during her performance, saying that she frauded the audience. She also pointed out what seemed to be padding in her bloomers.
Kelly said that Madonna used to be in good shape, but now at 68, she lost some muscle definition that she once had. The host said that the butt pads looked unnatural.
“It doesn’t look good. She just wants us talking about her, which I’m complying with,” she said. “But again, how is this hot, attractive, sexy? It just telegraphs needy to me.”
