Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey released its first trailer, immediately selling out 70MM Imax screenings at AMC and Regal theaters. The epic stars Matt Damon as Odysseus battling to return home after the Trojan War.

The cast includes Tom Holland as Odysseus' son Telemachus and Anne Hathaway as wife Penelope, plus Robert Pattinson, Zendaya, and Lupita Nyong'o. Based on Homer's eighth-century BCE poem, the story follows Odysseus confronting mythical creatures across treacherous oceans.

The Oscar-winning "Oppenheimer" director shot the film entirely using new Imax film cameras—cinema's first complete Imax production. The Odyssey releases in theaters July 17, 2026. Watch trailer here.

CBS News Editor in Chief Bari Weiss defended pulling Saturday's "60 Minutes" segment about El Salvador deportations, telling staff Monday that newsrooms regularly hold stories not ready for publication. She emphasized the importance of having "contentious disagreements about the thorniest editorial matters."

Weiss wanted additional interview attempts with administration officials Stephen Miller and Tom Homan, more legal analysis on presidential authority, and reporting beyond what other publications previously covered. She said the piece would run when complete.

The decision drew criticism from correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi, who called it political. The controversy unfolds as parent company Paramount pursues a Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition requiring Trump administration regulatory review. The episode did air in Canada.

JPMorganChase launched a $1.5 trillion, 10-year Security and Resiliency Initiative addressing talent shortages in critical sectors. The firm will invest up to $10 billion in equity and venture capital for U.S. companies in AI, cybersecurity, manufacturing, defense, aerospace, and energy.

Three out of four companies in these sectors struggle finding qualified talent. The U.S. needs 3.8 million new manufacturing employees between 2023 and 2033, but half those positions could remain unfilled without stronger training pipelines.

JPMorganChase recommends policies strengthening apprenticeships, expanding employer-based training, advancing industry partnerships, and improving digital literacy programs. The firm will continue working with policymakers to develop additional workforce strategies (More).

Health: Procrastination stems from fear of failure, not laziness. You avoid trying to protect your self-worth from judgment. Vulnerability is true strength. Resilience means feeling emotions deeply but acting despite them, not suppressing feelings.

Wealth: Focus on outcomes (real results), not inputs (hours worked) or outputs (tasks completed). Measure impact, not motion. Commit fully to one thing. Multitasking guarantees mediocrity while obsessive focus unlocks breakthrough progress.

Relationships: It's the lows, not highs, that determine success. Handling conflict matters more than peak experiences together. Choose partners with high conscientiousness, high agreeableness, and moderate openness for lasting happiness.
