Syncopy is the production company through which Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas made The Odyssey. Nolan and Thomas are longtime creative and business partners, and they produce the film together for their company.
Syncopy was founded in 2001 by Nolan and Thomas. The company’s name is a shortened form of “synchronicity” and “copy,” and it has been involved with many of Nolan’s major films, including The Dark Knight trilogy, Inception, Dunkirk, Tenet, and Oppenheimer.
Bad Robot, Plan B, and Legendary Pictures are also well-known production companies, but they are not the company identified with Nolan and Thomas on this project. Universal Pictures is the distributor, so the two names represent different roles: Syncopy produces the film, while Universal releases it to theaters.
