  • A 6-meter-tall Trojan Horse installation has been set up at Senayan City in Jakarta to promote Christopher Nolan's new film, 'The Odyssey'.
  • This installation is the first of its kind in the Senayan City area and the only one in Asia as part of the film's global campaign.
  • Universal Pictures is also offering limited-edition collectible pins for IMAX audiences who purchase tickets for the film, which premieres on July 15.

A colossal six-meter-high Trojan Horse installation now stands at The Crystal area of Senayan City in Jakarta, offering an immersive experience for fans of Greek mythology ahead of the July 15 premiere of Christopher Nolan's film, 'The Odyssey.' This striking installation is a key component of the film's global promotional campaign.

The Trojan Horse was chosen for its iconic status in Greek mythology, symbolizing the journey of Odysseus. This particular installation marks a significant first: it is the inaugural display of its kind in the Senayan City area and the sole installation of its nature across Asia. The public can engage with this attraction from July 9 to July 26, 2026, adding to the excitement surrounding the film's release in cinemas.

'The Odyssey' boasts a star-studded cast, including Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, Samantha Morton, and John Leguizamo. Notably, the film is the first feature-length production entirely shot using IMAX film cameras, promising a grand-scale, immersive cinematic experience. In Indonesia, 'The Odyssey' will have an exclusive three-week run in IMAX theaters, with tickets available since July 10, 2026.

Beyond the Trojan Horse, Universal Pictures is engaging audiences with a collection of four limited-edition pins inspired by elements from 'The Odyssey.' These collectible pins will be released sequentially during the film's exclusive IMAX run. To qualify for a chance to win a pin, patrons must purchase two IMAX tickets for 'The Odyssey' on the same day and at the same cinema. The tickets can then be presented at The Odyssey Pin Booth for a lucky draw. The pin designs include a Horse Pin (July 15, 2026), Ship Pin (July 17-19, 2026), Lady Pin (July 24-26, 2026), and Helmet Pin (July 31-August 2, 2026), available while supplies last at 10 specific IMAX theaters across Indonesia.
