Christopher Nolan almost lost The Odyssey before it even finished filming. While flying into Scotland with the IMAX film cans, airport customs opened every single one of them. The same footage that took months to shoot across six countries… one bad light exposure away from being completely ruined. Nolan...

Christopher Nolan convinced IMAX engineers to completely redesign their cameras just so he could film The Odyssey. "I called my friends at IMAX and I said, 'If ever we're going to make a film entirely in IMAX, this is The Odyssey. So, can you find a way to alleviate the limiting factor?'" "The limiting factor being the cameras are extremely loud." "We've never been able to capture dramatic scenes with an IMAX camera." "What they did is they came up with a way of blimping the camera." "Essentially a high-tech box that you put the camera into and it silences it." "It let us, for the first time ever, get the quiet scenes... and therefore be able to do the whole film."

Since he was 16, Christopher Nolan has been dreaming of a way to shoot an entire film on IMAX, and with “The Odyssey,” he’s finally done it. The Oscar-winning director told Gayle King about the challenges of shooting across six countries and on a boat in open waters — and why he still feels nervous before debuting his films in theaters: “The movie’s really not done until the audience kind of tells me what it is.”

Christopher Nolan says The Odyssey is a promise he made to himself at 16, watching a volcano documentary in a dome-screen IMAX in Chicago. Christopher Nolan: "Going to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago when I was 16 years old, seeing a documentary about volcanoes in the OmniMax format, and thinking... why on earth isn't Hollywood using this format? I always wanted to be a director. If I ever got the chance, could I shoot a film in this way?" Christopher Nolan: "I called my friends at IMAX and said, look... if ever we're going to make a film entirely on IMAX, this is The Odyssey. This is the one. Can you find a way to alleviate the limiting factor? The cameras are extremely loud." Christopher Nolan: "What they did is they came up with a way of blimping the camera... a high-tech box that silences it. The thing weighed about 300 pounds. But it let us, for the first time ever, get the quiet scenes, the dramatic scenes, and therefore do the whole film."

Christopher Nolan says there are only six lightweight IMAX cameras in the world and he has destroyed more than one “There are two new ones for this film. So now there are six of the lightweight ones around the world. There’s enough for multiple productions” Tom Holland: “Do you think there are cameras that you used on The Dark Knight that we used on this movie? These hidden characters that have gone through your career” Nolan: “They’re all old friends. Every now and again, we would destroy an IMAX camera, and it would be very heartbreaking. But I’ve always managed to build it back together” “On The Dark Knight, we crushed one between a truck and a car. It was on a crane arm. There wasn’t a camera operator. We smashed it, but they actually managed to fix it and save the film” “Then on Dunkirk, we strapped one to the side of a crashing Spitfire, housed in an underwater housing. The Spitfire landed, but then the thing sank immediately, which no one was expecting” “It took a couple of hours to get the camera out. By then, it was completely waterlogged. We called the lab in LA and said, ‘Is there anything you could do with the film?’” “They said, ‘Fill the film cans with water, keep them sealed and send them to us in water.’ They put it through the bath, processed it, and the shot is in the film” “Try doing that with a digital camera”

Christopher Nolan says The Odyssey finished 9 days ahead of schedule for one unexpected reason. The cast and crew had nothing left. "We went in at 100 days." "By day 91, we couldn't have taken another step." "We were done." "Everybody was done." Despite the scale of the production, Nolan says the film wrapped early because everyone was completely exhausted. "People were just exhausted." "They'd been through it." Looking back, he believes the limits actually helped the movie. "Sometimes the limitations give everybody a real focus." "So it took the right time to make the film."

Christopher Nolan Explains Why He Doesn’t Use CGI and Shoots on IMAX Robert Downey Jr.: Why Christopher Nolan doesn’t use CGI. Christopher Nolan: I find CGI, however versatile it is, but it always tends to feel a little safe to me. Christopher Nolan: I think if you want something to have a bit of bite, you’ve got the imagery to a better threat, even if it’s a miniature, even if it’s something very fake, but something real on camera. Christopher Nolan: I think it gives you a better result. Robert Downey Jr.: Why does Christopher Nolan shoot on film? Christopher Nolan: I shoot on film because it’s the highest quality imaging format ever devised, particularly IMAX film, large-format film. Christopher Nolan: Film shows you the world kind of the way your eye sees it. Robert Downey Jr.: Where does Christopher Nolan get his ideas? Christopher Nolan: All over the place. Different on every film. Christopher Nolan: Oppenheimer, I’d been interested in a long time, didn’t know that much about the specifics of his story, then came to the book American Prometheus, and that absolutely got me hooked. Christopher Nolan: So, in the case of Oppenheimer, the idea… I trace it right back to, like, as a kid in the eighties, and we all thought we were gonna die in nuclear Armageddon. Robert Downey Jr.: Absolutely. Me too.

Christopher Nolan confirms The Odyssey was completed ahead of schedule and under budget. Christopher Nolan: So, you’re asking a lot of the studio, you’re asking a lot of the cast and everybody. Um, you know, I like to say it was a very hard movie, but hard for all the right reasons. You know, it’s The Odyssey, it should be hard. Um… Jon Stewart: It shows up on screen. I mean, all of it shows up on screen. Christopher Nolan: Thank you. Jon Stewart: And someone was telling me that you actually completed it ahead of schedule, as you have with all of your movies, and under budget. Christopher Nolan: Yes. Jon Stewart: Never happens! [Audience laughter and applause.] Never happens! I mean, it’s just… wow. Christopher Nolan: Well, I mean, the reality is, you know, we went in at a hundred days.

Christopher Nolan reveals the first time an actor said no to him was David Bowie, and he had to personally beg him to change his mind. Jimmy Fallon: Have you ever gotten a “no”? Christopher Nolan: Have I ever gotten a “no”? Yeah, I have. Jimmy Fallon: Besides me when I said I didn’t want to do Batman. Christopher Nolan: The only “no” I’ll admit to is David Bowie for The Prestige. He was my great idol, and I thought he’d be perfect to play Nikola Tesla. Christopher Nolan: We sent him the script and everything, and he said no. It was the first time I ever went back and said, “Can I just go and meet him? Can I try and convince him in the room?” Christopher Nolan: They agreed, so I quickly wrote him a better speech for his first appearance, showed up with a new script, and basically begged. I managed to turn that “no” into a “yes.” Jimmy Fallon: Yes! But you did get a “no” from the coolest kid in school.

Christopher Nolan admits he almost never made The Odyssey until reading one heartbreaking scene about a dog from the original 3,000-year-old ancient Greek text completely broke him. "I spent a lot of time before I would write just familiarizing myself with the Odyssey... trying to remind myself what I remembered it to be." "You get to the bit with Argus... his loyal hunting dog." "As a new dog owner... I did not grow up with dogs." "Finally got a dog... and yeah, changes your life." "I got to the bit with Argus... and it just killed me." "I think it was honestly a major reason that I knew I had to make the film."

Matt Damon says they had no idea 750 soldiers were waiting behind the gates of Troy while filming “The Odyssey” till they opened them “The moment that we opened the gates of Troy…” “We didn’t know that Agamemnon and an army of 750 people were on the other side.” “We just thought we were taking it to the opening of the door.” “And we opened the door.” “It is one I will never forget.” “It looked like it was Benny and 20 guys because it was dark behind them.” “And then this roar…” “And just 500 people came running.”

Christopher Nolan has always paid homage to & honored the great directors who came before him & it’s one of the reasons I love Nolan so much: he’s a student of Cinema. It doesn’t surprise me in the slightest that Nolan pulled from directors like Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Stanley Kubrick while making The Odyssey. He most definitely pulled from all three while making Oppenheimer as well.

Christopher Nolan reveals filming with IMAX originally meant waiting 25 minutes after every 3 minutes of footage "These cameras only can shoot just under 3 minutes of film" ​"The first time I shot IMAX on The Dark Knight, the IMAX techs told us it took 25 minutes to reload the camera and we're like, 'Well, that's not going to work.'" ​"We now have it to about a minute and a half" ​"Hoyte is a very big fan of Formula 1, so I think maybe he had his crew watching Formula 1 races because they were on it"

Matt Damon says Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey was so demanding that only one person visited the set in six months. Ben Affleck. "You were the only guest in six months of shooting." Damon says the reason was simple. "The workload was incredible." "It was such an ambitious project that there was no time for anything else." He called it the most demanding movie he's ever made. "I've never worked on a film that required every single person to give maximum effort." Then he put it into perspective. "Every location on that movie would've been the hardest location on any other movie I'd ever done." "And every day of work was harder than any day on any other movie I'd ever worked on." Even Ben Affleck joked that it reminded him of when they were kids, calling each other to ask: "So... what's it like shooting your movie?"

This might be the most retarded marketing campaign I’ve ever seen. It's The Odyssey, directed by Christopher Nolan, one of the greatest filmmakers of our age, and they promote it with cringey RAPPING?! Hollywood, again, please just create a "SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE" clause for these actors. The only thing you should allow them to say is: "Hey, Christopher Nolan's got a new movie. It's called The Odyssey. Go see it this weekend." That's it! Otherwise, shut up!

Christopher Nolan’s next film is only 63 days away but the doubters are out in full force- you can hear them from miles away. I’d like to offer an olive branch to those questioning Nolan in this moment: there’s still time for you to reverse course & stop doubting Nolan. I’m truly surprised by how many have suggested that The Odyssey could be a full-blown failure. The “bust potential” conversations around this film are growing, albeit needlessly. Many have criticized Nolan’s casting decisions & creative decisions- without even seeing the film. This is all without mentioning that Nolan just won multiple Oscars- he just gave us an immediate classic with Oppenheimer. Doesn’t that mean he gets the benefit of the doubt? Shouldn’t people hold their reservations until they see Nolan’s vision through? It doesn’t make any sense to me. Let this be a line of demarcation. 63 days out from The Odyssey, if you’re one of those folks doubting/questioning Nolan, this might be one of your last chance to be on the right side of history when Nolan drops another classic.
