LAS VEGAS, April 19 — Hollywood’s major studios brought their biggest movies to Las Vegas this week for CinemaCon, the annual industry summit that offers insiders a sneak peek at what’s coming soon to cinemas.

Tom Cruise, Michael B. Jordan, Nicole Kidman, Tom Hanks, Zendaya and Timothee Chalamet led the parade of A-listers onto the stage at the Colosseum theatre in Caesars Palace, along with directors Steven Spielberg and Christopher Nolan.

Attendees caught a glimpse of new trailers, clips and teasers. Here are the highlights from the convention:

The Odyssey 

Nolan debuted epic footage from The Odyssey, his hotly anticipated take on Homer’s epic tale — and his first movie since his Oscar-winning Oppenheimer.

The clips featured a look at Matt Damon as Odysseus and Charlize Theron as Calypso, as well as the scene when the iconic Trojan Horse is revealed — which generated major buzz among industry observers.

Inarritu said the role “could possibly be the most challenging” for Cruise, who has been nominated for three Oscars for his acting performances.

“We know that he’s fearless — the stunts, the planes, the jumps — but I have to say embodying this character, this is another kind of fearless,” he said. — AFP
