The scale is so, so big. I think what's so special about Chris's movies is that he goes the extra distance to make it feel authentic for us on the set, which then makes it feel more authentic for the audience in the theater.

“One of the things I like about shooting on location is we’re moving countries every couple of weeks,” says director Christopher Nolan. “It gives you this incredible momentum.” Join the cast and crew of The Odyssey at production locations across the world in this featurette.

“There’s a reason we call these things odysseys,” says Matt Damon. “This is The Odyssey and it really is a journey through all of these incredible places – and is hopefully something that really profoundly entertains and moves people.”
