Unlike his previous period pieces like "Oppenheimer" and "The Prestige", this time, Nolan is going all the way to 8th century BC with the said Homer poem, which follows Odysseus' journey home after the Trojan war.

This will be the British filmmaker's first project since winning the Oscars for "Oppenheimer".
