Written by Johnson and Austin Collings, Odyssey follows an ambitious real estate agent called Natasha Flynn who lives every day on the verge of total success–or ruin. Her luxurious lifestyle of flashy clothes and hard partying is an unaffordable mask for the lonely void she's tried to fill with the hustle for success. Then, when a shady lender forces her complicity in a criminal scheme to settle a debt, Natasha seeks out a dangerous old friend for help. As pressure from colleagues and collectors escalates, so begins a wild ride through the city's criminal underworld.
The film stars Polly Maberly (Muscle) alongside Mikael Persbrandt (Sex Education, The Kingdom, In A Better World), Guy Burnet (Oppenheimer, Ray Donovan), Charley Palmer Rothwell (Legend, Industry), Jasmine Blackborow (The Gentlemen, Marie Antoinette), Tom Davis (Murder in Successville, Free Fire) and Purab Kohli (Matrix Resurrections).
'We're very excited to be working with Gerard Johnson and the rest of the team on his latest film, as we are big fans of his previous work and the film is going to be a visceral delight for our partners and buyers globally after its SXSW premiere,' Kaleidoscope CEO Spencer Pollard said in a statement.
Johnson added: 'Odyssey is true to the warped world we find ourselves in. It's a mirror to the madness—cutthroat ambition, corporate greed, and a culture that's losing its soul.'

Thunder superfan Kristin Chenoweth nailed the national anthem before Game 7
The Oklahoma City Thunder broke out the big guns ahead of Sunday night's Game 7. Before tip off in the winner-take-all game of the NBA Finals against the Indiana Pacers, the Thunder had Kristin Chenoweth — a Tony and Emmy-award winner and star of the Broadway hit show Wicked — sing the national anthem. Chenoweth is a long-time Thunder superfan and an Oklahoma native who knows her hoops. Plus, of course, as a Broadway alum and Tony-winning singer there was absolutely no chance of a repeat of Fergie's incredibly weird national anthem. Chenoweth took her time with Game 7's national anthem before hitting the high notes at the end in typical stunning Chenoweth style. The fans in Oklahoma City absolutely loved the anthem too, if the roar of the crowd was any indication.
