After Christopher Nolan fans rushed to secure premium tickets last week for his highly anticipated epic “The Odyssey,” Tom Holland and Letterboxd are encouraging fans to take their love of film formats to the next level.
“For the first time ever on Letterboxd, you’ll be able to track and share the way you experience the film with a brand new digital punch card,” Holland, who plays the son of Odysseus, said in a video posted by Letterboxd. “All of the formats for all your watches and rewatches — bragging rights fully unlocked. It’s coming soon, so keep your eyes peeled on the Letterboxd socials.”
The film is based on Homer’s legendary saga of a Greek hero traveling home after the Trojan War. Holland stars in the film alongside Matt Damon, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, Mia Goth and Benny Safdie, among many others.
Nolan has long been associated with his love for Imax; “The Odyssey,” which is the first film to be shot exclusively on Imax cameras, is no different. The wide range of formats to experience the film include 70mm Imax, Imax 1.90:1, 70mm film, 35mm film, Dolby Vision and premium large format, giving audiences a wide range of options — at least, with the seats still available for purchase.
Many of the film’s stars have posted promotional videos detailing the various formats. Holland, for instance, explained the appeal of premium large formats: “Exhibitors design these theaters to give you an enhanced experience. They have wall-to-wall screens and superior projection technology, so you are more immersed. If you want to feel the movie, see ‘The Odyssey’ in RX or D-Box. Your seat doesn’t just sit there. When we’re moving, you’re moving. It’s going to be a great time.”
“The Odyssey” releases in theaters July 17.
