The Odyssey popcorn bucket is here and it’s a must-have for Christopher Nolan fans. The bucket has been exclusively designed and released for the upcoming epic fantasy action film.
The Odyssey is arguably Nolan’s most expensive film to date. It follows Odysseus, the legendary Greek king of Ithaca, on his long and arduous journey home to his wife after the decade-long Trojan War. The film is backed by Syncopy and Universal Pictures.
