Now then… the big news announcement today is that Universal Pictures Home Entertainment has officially set Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey (2026) for release on Blu-ray, DVD, 4K Ultra HD, 4K Steelbook, 4K Limited Edition Giftset, and Digital on 11/17. As expected, the film will be presented in a 1.78:1 aspect ratio that maximizes the IMAX experience for the home entertainment environment.

The 4K package will be a 3-disc set including the film in 4K and Blu-ray, as well as a Blu-ray bonus disc. The Odyssey will be included in 4K on a 100GB disc with HDR10 high dynamic range and audio in 5.1 English DTS-HD Master Audio format, as well as French Canadian and Latin American Spanish each in 5.1 DTS. Subtitles will be available in English, French Canadian, and Latin American Spanish.

Nolan has personally curated what is essentially a 12-part, behind-the-scenes Blu-ray documentary on the making of the film that includes Plotting a Course, Icons, The Widest Window, On Location, The Horse, The Fall of Troy, Ithaca, Battle Ready, Apparent Magic, The Sea People, The Score, and Bringing It Home.[Read on here...]
