Christopher Nolan reveals how Guillermo del Toro inspired 'The Odyssey'
- Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey premiered in London on July 6, ahead of its July 17 theatrical release, making history as the first film shot entirely on IMAX cameras.
- Eschewing CGI, Nolan crafted the special effects using practical techniques, citing Del Toro as a guide and employing puppetry, animatronics, and robotics for the Cyclops Polyphemus.
- Responses call the film a 'staggering achievement' and 'flawless filmmaking,' with Joshua Rothkopf of the Times describing the adaptation as 'every inch as epic as you'd expect.'
- With a massive $250 million budget, the studio expects The Odyssey to match Oppenheimer's commercial success, which grossed $976.8m at the box office.
- Describing the film as a 'very strong foundational text,' Nolan adapted the tale of Odysseus, King of Ithaca, to explore themes of war, love, and family, culminating in his reunion with Penelope.
