"We got the cast who play the crew of Odysseus' ship out there on the real waves, in the real places. And yeah, it's vast and terrifying and wonderful and benevolent, as the conditions shift. We really wanted to capture how hard those journeys would have been for people. And the leap of faith that was being made in an unmapped, uncharted world."
"We shot over 2 million feet of film. Much of the film was shot out on the choppy ocean, rather than in a studio tank. I've been out on it for the last four months."
"I'd never seen that done with the sort of weight and credibility that an A-budget and a big Hollywood, Imax production could do."
Christopher Nolan led a 91-day production of The Odyssey starring Matt Damon as Odysseus and a high-profile ensemble including Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, and Tom Holland. Production recorded over two million feet of film and prioritized shooting on the open, choppy ocean rather than in studio tanks to capture authentic wave conditions and the hardships of ancient sea voyages. The project uses IMAX-capable, A-budget resources and modern technology to reimagine the scale and credibility of classic Hollywood epics. Reported production costs reached $250 million for this non-superhero, non-sequel epic adaptation.
