The first look at Christopher Nolan's next film, The Odyssey, is here.

In the picture, which you can see above, Matt Damon is seen in costume as Odysseus. He's wearing a cape, gauntlets, and an impressive plumed helmet, looking over one shoulder. Basically, he looks ready for battle – or to be lost at sea for years and years, anyway.

The film will be shot with new IMAX technology and filming will commence on the Island of Favignana, with filming also taking place in Sicily – both are locations from the poem.
