Those viewers planning to (re)watch two of the best movies of the year – Sinners and One Battle After Another – with their upcoming IMAX screenings might get an unexpected pre-Christmas gift.

According to rumours (via World of Reel), a 5-minute and 47-second prologue of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey will be attached to screenings of both films, starting on December 11. A new trailer will also be included before screenings of Avatar: Fire and Ash, which hits theaters on December 19.

The footage may be the same that was described in Empire Magazine’s recent cover story on the Nolan film. The magazine revealed that the clip starts with a question – "You hear the story of the horse?" – and continues by showing the huge wooden horse being dragged with ropes towards the gates of Troy. Shortly afterward, the ruse is revealed and the battle starts, with the prologue ending featuring a Cyclops.

Nolan recently revealed that he shot over two million feet of film – nearly 400 miles worth – including filming on the open ocean, with the filmmaker personally spending "four months" at sea.
