The Odyssey is now officially a smash. How do we think it fits into the parks?

It feels like it's been a little while since a truly massive blockbuster filmed AT Universal Studios proper. Nope is a great part of the tour, but doesn't quite feel like an iconic movie in the same way something like Psycho is.

Which is what makes The Odyssey so exciting. The studio tour now has the opportunity to do something nobody expected - become relevant to the wider Universal Studios brand. With Supercharged in the grave, it's time for a new finale. And I think they've perfectly landed on a movie people want to see in person.

They should reconstruct damn near the whole fucking film back there if they've got room. The classic sword & sandals look is timeless, and The Odyssey is the sort of billion dollar movie people are going to watch for generations. Just imagine driving through the fall of Troy, or being chased by giants. Blend those classic water effects with the screen - get the bus on the boat as it flees the Cyclops.

People love the myth making around Nolan as a filmmaker - he's the precise thing this attraction needs.
