## Summary

Robert Pattinson said he initially thought Matt Damon was behaving strangely while filming Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, after hearing him repeatedly scream in a nearby trailer. He later learnt Damon was deliberately straining his voice to make Odysseus sound older, illustrating the actor’s intensive preparation for the role.

Pattinson, who plays Antinous, joked that he first feared Damon was having a bad experience in the toilet; Tom Holland also reportedly heard the noises. The film opens on 17 July 2026, with early previews available beforehand, and IGN awarded Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s epic 8/10.
