The Odyssey character list leaks: See which actors are playing the iconic characters
Matt Damon stares with a helmet on.

Christopher Nolan is currently shooting The Odyssey in Europe. Because of the large ensemble cast, seemingly half of Hollywood's top stars will be involved in the Oscar winner's follow-up to Oppenheimer.

Matt Damon is set to play Odysseus, the Greek hero who embarks on a treacherous journey home after the Trojan War. The roles of the other actors have not officially been revealed. However, the character list has been leaked to several Greek media outlets.

Who will direct the next James Bond? Christopher Nolan, Edward Berger top list
Daniel Craig in Skyfall

James Bond now belongs to Amazon.
On February 20, Amazon MGM Studios acquired creative control of Bond from longtime producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli. Wilson and Broccoli will remain co-owners of the espionage franchise and form a new joint venture to house the James Bond intellectual property rights.
With control over the franchise, expect Amazon to begin searching for the next actor to play Bond. Amazon also must find the right filmmaker to helm Bond 26. Sometimes, the most obvious choice is the right choice, and that's Christopher Nolan.
According to The Wrap, Nolan remains the "top choice and the perfect filmmaker" to tackle the next Bond movie. Nolan has been rumored to the Bond franchise for over a decade. Nolan reportedly wanted to direct a Bond movie after 2020's Tenet. However, Broccoli would not allow Nolan to have final cut, so he pivoted to making Oppenheimer, an invigorating drama that won seven Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director.

“If Amazon wants to preserve the legacy, they should do everything possible to get Chris Nolan and wait for him as long as needed,” a movie producer told TheWrap.
If Amazon wants Nolan, they will have to wait until the British filmmaker finishes The Odyssey for Universal, which is currently filming and set for a theatrical release on July 17, 2026. Because Amazon must hit a home run with their first Bond movie, Amazon waiting for Nolan to finish The Odyssey before tackling Bond 26 is a safe assumption.

5 great Oscar-winning horror movies you should stream right now
Daniel Kaluuya as Chris in "Get Out."

For some reason, horror is still a bit of a taboo genre in Hollywood. It’s often seen as a way for studios to make some quick money while spending very little on production costs. But horror movies can be way more than just quick cash grabs. For example, 2017’s It grossed over $700 million, proving that horror isn’t some niche fandom but a valuable part of cinema. And yet, the genre often gets pushed aside and seen as inferior.

So it’s no surprise that only a few dozen horror movies have ever been nominated for Oscars, and out of those few dozen, many aren’t even strict horror films. They walk the tightrope between horror, drama, and thriller, like Black Swan, The Shape of Water, and Parasite. But there are a few horror classics that not only scored Oscar nominations but also won awards. Here are five Oscar-winning horror movies you definitely need to check out.
