Nolan's 'The Odyssey' Leaks on X, Viewed by Millions

Universal said it began takedown protocols after unauthorized uploads of Christopher Nolan’s film drew more than 2.1 million views on X.

  • Released on July 17, Christopher Nolan's blockbuster "The Odyssey" continues to draw massive crowds, grossing over $600 million globally despite persistent piracy incidents.

  • A lower-quality version appeared Sunday, garnering nearly 50,000 views before removal, though most remaining files on X are mislabeled links redirecting to Rick Astley's 1987 song "Never Gonna Give You Up."
  • X owner Elon Musk criticized the film's casting choices while announcing his AI tool Grok Imagine would generate a "historically accurate" version of the movie later this year.
