Christopher Nolan had The Odyssey cast watch Ran, Andrei Rublev and The Last Temptation of Christ before filming to spark texture and inspiration, credits Oppenheimer’s success for enabling the scale, and notes The Odyssey is the first feature shot entirely on IMAX thanks to lighter cameras developed with David Keighley.
Christopher Nolan had The Odyssey cast watch Andrei Rublev and The Last Temptation of Christ (with Ran cited as inspiration) to shape the film’s texture, boosted by Oppenheimer’s success; The Odyssey is the first feature shot entirely on IMAX cameras, using lighter, quieter gear to handle dialogue-heavy scenes and scale the epic accordingly.
Christopher Nolan explains that The Odyssey channels influences from Jaws, Alien, and Martin Scorsese’s The Last Temptation of Christ, while blending mythic spectacle with a human, fallible Odysseus. Filmed entirely in IMAX, the epic stars Matt Damon as Odysseus, Anne Hathaway as Penelope, and Tom Holland as Telemachus, and is expected to open around $120 million, marking Nolan’s most ambitious non-franchise start and a return to intimate emotion after Oppenheimer.
