Christopher Nolan's next movie hasn't even finished filming yet, but you can already buy a ticket.
IMAX tickets for "The Odyssey," the highly anticipated new film from the Oscar-winning "Oppenheimer" director, went up for sale on Thursday, July 17 – exactly one year before it hits theaters.
It's highly unusual for movie tickets to be made available so far in advance. They are typically not sold until a few weeks before a film's release.
Like "Oppenheimer," Nolan's "The Odyssey" will be screening in 70mm, a type of high quality film that's bigger than the standard 35mm, in select locations across the country.
Christopher Nolan attends the Academy Awards on March 10, 2024.
According to IMAX's website, 16 theaters in the United States are selling tickets for "The Odyssey" in IMAX 70mm, though a seat may be hard to come by. As of the morning of July 17, Fandango's website showed that many screenings were already sold out.
One year from 'The Odyssey': What we know so far about Christopher Nolan's next movie

'Oppenheimer': Christopher Nolan's new movie about nukes is 'the stuff of cinematic drama'
The first trailer for the film debuted in front of screenings of "Jurassic World Rebirth" on July 2. But in keeping with Nolan's advocacy for the theatrical experience, the teaser has not been released online and can still only be watched in theaters. The footage is also playing before showings of "Superman."
Filming on "The Odyssey" takes place in Pylos, Greece, on March 16, 2025.
For Nolan, "The Odyssey" will come after one of the biggest success stories of the director's career. His movie "Oppenheimer" grossed nearly $1 billion at the global box office in 2023, an unheard of haul for a talky drama, and became his first film to win the Academy Award for best picture. Nolan also won best director, and stars Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. won best actor and best supporting actor, respectively.
Nolan has also directed acclaimed blockbusters like "Inception" and the "Dark Knight" Batman trilogy.
