Travis Scott Reveals Oasis, Van Halen, and Daft Punk as Influences for New Album
Scott’s feature acting debut includes a closing-credits song he recorded with James Blake and Ludwig Göransson.
On Tuesday, 35-year-old rapper Travis Scott made his feature acting debut as The Bard in director Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, which opened to a record-breaking $263.7 million globally.
Nolan recruited Scott after their previous collaboration on the 2020 film Tenet. Admitting he was "actually nervous," Scott shadowed Nolan and cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema for days to learn the filmmaking process.
Beyond acting, Scott recorded "When I'm Home" for the film's closing credits with producer James Blake and composer Ludwig Göransson, describing the process as "connecting the writing from the movie to the song."
Paramount Pictures co-chair Josh Greenstein announced a first-look deal with Scott's company, Cactus Jack, positioning the rapper to expand into film and television production following the successful Odyssey launch.
While continuing his music ventures, Scott aims to "bring back amazing films" through his collaboration with Paramount, shifting focus toward becoming a power player in the film industry.
