Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey' Has A Wildly Stacked Cast, And My Inner Film Nerd Is Screaming
Okay, I'm already spiraling and the movie isn't even out yet. Over the past few months, Christopher Nolan has been slowly assembling the cast for his next project, The Odyssey —and if you're anything like me (aka someone who's still emotionally wrecked from Cooper crying out "Murph" in Interstellar), this already feels like a big deal. We're talking Tom Holland and Zendaya reuniting on screen (!!!), and Matt Damon looking like he just emerged from a wilderness survival show. Nolan hasn't revealed much—because of course he hasn't—but the whispers are already enough to make any Nolan girlie (MEEE) lose her mind just a little. But before we spiral any further, let's take a look at this absolutely stacked cast. So far, 19 cast members have been announced—yes, you heard that right. Nineteen. While not all their roles have been revealed yet (classic Nolan mystery mode), we do know that Matt Damon is stepping into the role of Odysseus and Tom Holland will be playing Telemachus. Just that duo alone is enough to make my brain short-circuit, but wait, there's more. We're also getting Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'O, Charlize Theron, Jon Bernthal, Benny Safdie, Himesh Patel, Elliot Page, Bill Irwin, Samantha Morton, John Leguizamo, Cosmo Jarvis, Mia Goth, Corey Hawkins, Will Yun Lee, and Jesse Garcia. Like… how is this even real? +11 A few stars have started to drop little hints, and yes, we're clinging to every word. Jesse Garcia, fresh off Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Road Trip, told Cinemablend that the movie is 'huge' in every sense of the word. In his words: 'It's epic on all aspects. It's huge. There's gonna be a lot of stuff in this movie that hasn't been captured on film before. So it's gonna be a spectacle.' Matt Damon has finally said something about The Odyssey, and while it's short, it's very on brand. Per The Hollywood Reporter, when asked about the film, he simply said: 'I literally have an odyssey in front of me.' Classic Damon. He didn't spill any plot details, but that one line is doing a lot. Given Nolan's track record of going big— Interstellar, Tenet, Oppenheimer —and Damon's history of surviving space and war under Nolan's direction, we know this is going to be massive. John Leguizamo recently dropped a behind-the-scenes nugget in an interview on MSNBC's Morning Joe. He said: 'Dude, you know the thing is, okay he's got a crazy budget, it's not small, but he runs like an indie film because he's not doing it by committee, he's not doing it by what the studio says.' So basically: massive budget, but full creative control? Only Nolan could make a giant studio epic feel like a passion project. That's all we know for now, but if history's any indication, Nolan's about to break our brains (and possibly our hearts) in the best way possible. The Odyssey is set to hit theatres on July 17, 2026, and yes, I've already marked my calendar, cleared my schedule, and emotionally prepared myself for another round of existential crisis. See you in line.

Multi-platinum selling DJ redefines the boundaries of pop music as he launches one of his most personal releases yet
POP IT Multi-platinum selling DJ redefines the boundaries of pop music as he launches one of his most personal releases yet FROM remixing the world's biggest pop stars to taking to the main stages at top festivals, R3HAB has spent the last decade redefining the boundaries of dance music. With reworks for the likes of Rihanna, Drake, Taylor Swift, and Calvin Harris under his belt, the multi-platinum selling Dutch Moroccan DJ and producer has become synonymous with transforming chart toppers into dancefloor weapons, always with his signature balance of emotion and euphoria. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 2 R3HAB has redefined the boundaries of dance music Credit: CYB3RPVNK R3HAB turns the page this summer with one of his most personal releases yet, All My Life. Out now on Polydor/Universal, the tune trades the peak time punch for something more introspective and cinematic. Written during a songwriting camp in Thailand, the track is a deep house journey laced with soft piano, shimmering synths and a soaring vocal. 'All My Life means a lot to me,' R3HAB tells us. 'The lyric 'Parachute when I free fall' came from a moment of complete surrender… that feeling when you let go, drift into the unknown and somehow feel safe in it.' It's a reminder of the power of dance music to lift us out of ourselves and that's exactly what R3HAB's exclusive playlist for The Night Bazaar delivers. Handpicked by the man himself, these ten tracks map out the energy and emotion that have fuelled his global journey and inspired his music, from the iconic remixes that made his name to his forward-thinking sound of today. With tracks from The Prodigy, Bodyrox, Avicii, Underworld and more, whether you're on the dancefloor or chasing your own version of escape, R3HAB's selection is the perfect soundtrack to let go, live fully and, as he puts it, 'forget about everything else for a while.' 2 He has now released one of his most personal tracks yet Credit: CYB3RPVNK The Prodigy - No Good (Start the Dance) This one hit deep. I remember seeing the music video as a little kid - black and white, raw, chaotic, magical. The breakdancing, the attitude, the sheer energy of the track. It didn't sound like anything else. It was fast, aggressive and rebellious but so danceable. It gave me chills back then - and honestly, it still does. "You're no good for me"... the way that vocal cuts through? Timeless. The Prodigy - Out Of Space "Take your brain to another dimension..." This wasn't just a song - it was a full-blown trip. The vocals, the dubby textures, the dynamic shifts, it was unlike anything I'd ever heard. It felt like getting abducted into another world where every sound hit a different nerve. There's something truly spiritual about how it all comes together. As a kid, it was one of the first records that made me realise music could be cinematic, psychedelic, and explosive all at once. Bodyrox - Yeah Yeah (D. Ramirez Instrumental Remix) I first heard this in a nightclub and thought, what the hell is that sound? It was sleek, sexy, futuristic - like techno and electro had a child and raised it in a neon-lit bunker. The production was so ahead of its time. Those stabbing synths, the groove, the attitude - you could feel it in your spine. It was one of those records that made me stop dancing just to listen closer and figure out how the hell someone even made that. Benny Benassi - Satisfaction Pure genius. The sidechain compression, the gritty robotic vocals, the hypnotic repetition - it was the blueprint for an entire era of electro-house. It's one of those rare tracks that sounds just as fresh today as it did back then. Play it in any club and watch the floor erupt. I always expected how clean and punchy the mix was. Even now, it's hard to match the raw power this track delivers. Faithless - Insomnia What a story this record tells. The tension, the poetic vocals, the way it just slowly builds like you're climbing some emotional mountain. It's more than a track - it's a cinematic journey. When that iconic drop finally hits, you feel like your soul lifts out of your body. "I can't get no sleep..." became a global mantra. This is dance music with narrative, drama, and real feeling. Chuckie - Let the Bass Kick The Dirty Dutch sound. I remember this one hitting the clubs for the first time - it was like a punch in the face in the best way possible. Those screeching leads, the pounding rhythm, the sheer boldness of the sound. Chuckie was at the forefront of something new. The original and the remixes both hit - I even had the honor of remixing it myself, which was a huge proud moment. That groove was just undeniable. Underworld - Born Slippy (Nuxx) You can't talk about dance music history without this one. "Drive boy, dog boy, dirty numb angel boy..." - that vocal delivery still echoes in my mind. It's haunting, euphoric, manic. The way it builds and evolves is masterful. Watching Trainspotting and hearing this track felt like discovering a portal into another emotional universe. A record that proves dance music can be just as emotive as it is physical. Avicii - Levels A modern masterpiece. The melody, the vocal sample, the euphoric progression - it defined Progressive House for a generation. It was so catchy yet full of emotion. Avicii managed to take something vintage and flip it into a stadium anthem. You could feel the optimism and hope in it. "Oh, sometimes I get a good feeling..." That's not just a lyric. It's a state of mind this record puts you in. Showtek ft. We Are Loud & Sonny Wilson - Booyah This one just slaps. Absolute banger. One of my favorite peak-time records ever. Showtek brought that gritty, festival-ready energy that got people jumping out of their skin. The transitions, the drops, the build-ups - everything was explosive. These guys have always been legendary producers, and "Booyah" cemented that. A track made for massive crowds and big sound systems. Major Lazer - Pon De Floor (Afrojack Radio Mix) Now, this one? Revolutionary. The rhythmic innovation, the use of vocal chops as instruments, the percussive madness - it felt like the future. Afrojack's punch and Major Lazer's swagger - together, they created something completely genre-defying. The beats were tribal, electronic, and raw all at once. It broke the rules and set trends. Every producer after tried to recreate that magic.

'Mufasa: The Lion King' to 'Scoob': 5 children-friendly movies to watch with your kids
Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Based on Judith Viorst's beloved children's book "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day," this new iteration of the tale centers on Alexander Garcia (the adorable Thom Nemer from FX's "Snowfall") and a road trip gone, of course, horribly wrong. Alex's mother, Val (Eva Longoria), wants to inspire some family bonding by bringing her children to Mexico City to get in touch with their roots. So -- along with his father, Frank (Jesse Garcia), and older sister, Mia (Paulina Chávez) -- Alex gets ready to set off in a fancy recreational before they leave their home in Denver, Alex finds an ancient idol in their attic, which unleashes chaos and all the terrible, horrible things you'd expect in a road-trip comedy gone berserk -- including Grandma Lidia (Rose Portillo) getting left behind at a gas station. (Cheech Marin plays Grandpa Gil.)Marvin Lemus directed from a script by Matt Lopez (who wrote the 2022 version of "Father of the Bride").I saw this in the theater with my son in December, and he was transfixed from the first photorealistic frame. Since the hit 1994 Disney movie in which James Earl Jones voiced Mufasa, there has been a long-running Broadway show, TV spinoffs and the 2019 Jon Favreau-directed version -- to name a few winner Barry Jenkins ("Moonlight") directs this latest installment, which is an origin story about how Mufasa (voiced as a cub by Braelyn Rankins and as an adult by Aaron Pierre) meets Taka, aka Scar (Theo Somolu as a cub and Kelvin Harrison Jr. as an adult). Just as she did in Favreau's version, Beyoncé voices the lioness Nala, and this time, her daughter Blue Ivy Carter voices a cub named children will care more about the adventure, the drama and Lin-Manuel Miranda's songs than the star power, though. There are lessons about loyalty, family and bravery as Taka and Mufasa go from adoptive brothers to archenemies, and Jenkins creates some pretty epic action sequences. You also get to learn how Rafiki (John Kani) got his staff. Mads Mikkelsen voices the bad-guy lion Kiros, and Seth Rogen and Billy Eichner provide some over-the-top comic relief as Pumbaa and Timon. Jeff Nathanson, who penned 2019's "The Lion King," wrote the "The Lion King," Jules Verne's 1872 classic has seen its fair share of cinematic retellings, this time with a young marmoset named Passepartout (voiced in English by Cory Doran) taking the journey around his island home alongside his charming con-artist friend, a surfing frog named Phileas (Rob Tinkler). This French-Belgian production isn't quite the 1956 Oscar-winning version with David Niven and Cantinflas in the lead roles, but it's packed with endearing silliness and film is best suited for toddlers and younger elementary-age children. Passepartout's overbearing mother (Shoshana Sperling) sounds like she's from the Bronx for some reason; it's an odd touch, but little ones are unlikely to question the mishmash of accents. Despite her warnings to "do nothing until you're fully prepared," Passepartout sets off with Phileas to make good on his bet to traverse the world (in this case, their island) in 80 days. Along the way, they meet a frog princess named Aouda (Madi Monroe) and Passepartout's hero Juan Frog de Leon (Juan Chioran). The ultimate message is, as Phileas tells his little buddy, "Dream big, man, you can do it."Samuel Tourneux directed, and Gerry Swallow and David Michel wrote the exactly did the best friends Scooby and Shaggy meet, you might wonder? According to this telling, Young Shaggy (voiced by "Young Sheldon" star Iain Armitage as a kid and Will Forte as an adult) was eating a sandwich at Venice Beach one day when a cute stray pup wandered over, and the rest is history. Frank Welker, who has been voicing the goofy Great Dane for over 20 years, adds his voice talent to an impressive cast that includes Amanda Seyfried as Daphne, Gina Rodriguez as Velma and Zac Efron as Fred -- as well as Mark Wahlberg as an insecure yet egocentric superhero, Jason Isaacs as the baddie Dick Dastardly and Tracy Morgan as Captain Dastardly wants to unleash evil upon the world in the form of a glowing green Cerberus, and poor Scooby is the pooch who has the power to help him do just that. The mix of Greek mythology, robots and mechanical flying scorpions is a little all over the place, but my son was plenty entertained by Scooby and Shaggy's ability to act like bumbling fools one minute and brave heroes the next. Fred's beloved Mystery Machine even gets a modern-day reboot is a little light on mystery, but it's a fun addition to the franchise led by longtime Looney Tunes director Tony Cervone and written by Adam Sztykiel, Jack C.

A pregnant Aneska tries to use her magic to dispel an evil force, but it's no use. Cut to years later, and the Floods are raising a teenage daughter, Betty (Evanna Lynch, who played Luna Lovegood in the "Harry Potter" franchise), along with a gaggle of other Munsters-esque children: Winchflat (Ed Byrne); lavender-haired twins Morbid and Silent (Sarah Aubrey); and their talking dog, Staniel (Neil Delamere). Betty longs to possess magical powers like everyone else in her freaky family (even Staniel), but her only real talents are singing and playing music on her hot-pink by a children's book series by Colin Thompson, this movie focuses on an evil king (who happens to be Betty's grandfather) who banished music and magic from the land. It's up to Betty, of course, to bring harmony back to their people, and along the way, she comes to understand that being human is its own sort of magic.
