Trailer Official Trailer

[u/Giff95]

Wanted a Nolan horror movie.

The Cyclops and pig transformation scenes finally gave a taste.

Nolan, please do a straight up horror movie next!

[u/Whovian45810 → u/Giff95]

Nolan's interpretation of Circe genuinely caught be my surprise and Samantha Morton did such a beautiful performance.

[u/pwndnoob → u/Whovian45810]

When I read the book, I felt Circe and Calypso a bit hard to differentiate. I will have no such issues with the movie versions.

[u/CricketGrl → u/pwndnoob]

Calypso’s raping of Odysseus was omitted

[u/sowaffled → u/Whovian45810]

I love that none of that was in the trailer. Circe’s segment was a total surprise for viewers.
