Nolan Shot The Odyssey Entirely on IMAX Film, Matt Damon Marvels

Movieweb reports that Christopher Nolan filmed The Odyssey — a swords-and-sandals epic starring Matt Damon as Odysseus — as the first major Hollywood feature shot entirely using IMAX film cameras.

The outlet notes Nolan is known for large-scale projects and innovative techniques, and says The Odyssey may be his most ambitious work yet. Damon recently marveled at how Nolan managed to achieve what the report called “the impossible,” including overcoming the notorious "blender" problem, which is one of the biggest technical challenges that this type of shoot presents.

Further details were not provided in the report. More to come...
