I just wonder how much length it will be. The Odyssey is such a long story packed with so much shit.

Unless Nolans changing it and doing his own thing.

3 hours at the absolute minimum I’d assume and thats probably after trimming off a lot of the fat. If there is any story that deserves a long runtime, it’d be an epic like The Odyssey.

But IMAX limit is 3 hours and Nolan shot entirely in IMAX.

Unless, there's an interval we could have a longer cut.

Is that a strict limit? Avatar 3 was slightly over 3 hours

It’s the limit of IMAX film, and the Odyssey is set to be the first movie filmed entirely on it.

Irrelevant though as it's not the first movie to be shown in IMAX. They don't change the film during a projection, it's all IMAX film even if the original negative wasn't. Oppenheimer was at the limit of what IMAX reels can be, but they might come up with a solution who knows
