Christopher Nolan on Making ‘The Odyssey’: ‘You’re Always Looking for a Gap in the Culture as a Filmmaker’

RUSH EXCERPT:

NOLAN: "You’re always looking for a gap in the culture as a filmmaker, you're looking for something that you can challenge yourself with and you bring something new to the audience, hopefully. Coming out of oppenheimer, that was a film that succeeded a lot more than any of us dared hope. That gives you an opportunity to do something you might not otherwise be able to do so greek mythology, the world of greek mythology and the odyssey, original foundational text hadn’t been done in modern cinema on the I-max screen. What an opportunity and privilege for me to do that."
