STEVENSON, Wash. — Two Oregon men were found dead in a Washington state forest after they failed to return from a trip to look for Sasquatch, authorities said Saturday. The 59-year-old and 37-year-old appear to have died from exposure, the Skamania County Sheriff’s Office said via Facebook. The weather and the men’s lack of preparedness led the office to draw that conclusion, it said. Sasquatch is a folkloric beast thought by some to roam the forests, particularly in the Pacific Northwest. The two men were found in a heavily wooded area of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, which is about 150 miles (240 kilometers) northeast of Portland. A family member reported them missing at around 1 a.m. on Christmas Day after they failed to return from a Christmas Eve outing. Sixty volunteer search-and-rescue personnel helped in the three-day search, including canine, drone and ground teams. The Coast Guard used infrared technology to search from the air. Authorities used camera recordings to locate the vehicle used by the pair off Oklahoma Road near Willard, which is on the southern border of the national forest.
CNN — Oscar-winning director Christopher Nolan will be taking audiences to mythical Greece with his latest project. Universal Pictures announced this week that Nolan will be directing a cinematic adaptation of " The Odyssey ," an ancient poem believed to be written by Homer between 750 and 650 BCE centering on the character Odysseus' 10-year trek home after the Trojan War. Nolan's forthcoming adaptation is described as "a mythic action epic shot across the world using brand new IMAX film technology," according to the studio's announcement posted to their X page Monday. Zendaya, Tom Holland and Robert Pattinson along with Oscar-winners Matt Damon, Lupita Nyong'o, Anne Hathaway and Charlize Theron are reportedly set to star in the film. Holland recently spoke about signing onto the project, saying on "The Dish" podcast last week that the film hasn't started shooting yet. He added that Nolan only "loosely pitched" it to him when they met to discuss the project, but that he still didn't know all the details. The "Spider-Man" actor also touched on working with his girlfriend Zendaya, joking that "studios love it" when they're on the same project because they only have to pay for "one hotel room." Pattinson, Damon and Hathaway have all previously appeared in Nolan's films, including "Tenet," "Interstellar" and "Oppenheimer." Nolan is also behind epic films including "Inception," "The Dark Knight," "Dunkirk" and his most recent film "Oppenheimer," which scored big at last year's Oscars when it took home the trophy for Best Picture. Nolan won that award as a producer and also took home the Academy Award for Best Director. According to Universal's social media announcement this week, "The Odyssey" will bring Homer's "foundational saga to IMAX film screens for the first time" and will open in theaters on July 17, 2026.
