Fantasy Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Kind of surprising that someone of his caliber took this on. Looking through past DGA leadership, it’s been TV directors and lower level film directors for awhile now.

Definitely part of Nolan's fight to preserve theatres, the theatrical experience, the quality of film/IMAX and the talents behind the camera being unified on this vision.

Wasn't this the same union that unanimously voted that AI is cool with them to use in films including replacing actors?

**** it looks good.

Looks Gladiator good.

More Epic than the last Epic thing that was Epic.

I really want/need this film to be a home run and the ultimate middle finger to the entire idea of AI filmmaking ever replacing real filmmaking. No pressure lol. Something about a practical, in-camera approach to the ultimate fantasy epic feels like it's right on time though. The film industry is in such a weird spot right now and it's hard to have a sense of where it's all gonna go in the future, but I'm really glad Nolan is still swinging the bat as a counterpoint to the conventional "wisdom" of the trends and (hopefully) proving the audience is still there for it.

As a filmmaker, you’re looking for gaps in cinematic culture, things that haven’t been done before. And what I saw is that all of this great mythological cinematic work that I had grown up with – Ray Harryhausen movies and other things – 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.

I want this to be the most expensive Harryhausen movie ever made.

Nolan answers the question of how to melt the heart of the most cynical. Appeal to their childhood while taking it seriously.

If it's an audience-pleasing summer blockbuster thriller in the vein of Inception, then inject the movie straight into my eyes now please!

Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt and Benny Safdie’s Underdog ‘The Smashing Machine’: In a Topsy-Turvy Year, Don’t Count Them Out for Oscars Glory

Dwayne Johnson got knocked down at the box office when 'The Smashing Machine' disappointed, but he's still chasing Oscar gold.

variety.com

I know this isn't Odyssey related, but...Nolan-related and refreshingly wholesome.

Does make me wonder if Nolan would ever consider teaming with The Rock on a project. That could be automatic massive box office. I haven't seen The Smashing Machine for the record and have never been the hugest fan of The Rock as a thespian. But regardless, cool to see him get "the rub" from the big guy after trying to challenge himself.
