Tom Holland Anne Hathaway Explain Christopher Nolans Never Before Seen IMAX Trick for The Odyssey

Oscar-winning filmmaker Christopher Nolan has dedicated his craft to not only creating singular worlds and stories on screen, but doing so in a way that pushes beyond the limitations of what’s being done in film. Befitting of Homer’s enduring epic, The Odyssey, Nolan set out to once again navigate uncharted territory, filming entirely in IMAX and developing innovative ways to adapt the format to fit even the most intimate scenes. Talking with Collider’s Steven Weintraub, Academy Award winner Anne Hathaway and Spider-Man icon Tom Holland discuss the ambitious set and the “truly ingenious” tech Nolan employed to pull it all off.

In the movie, fellow Oscar-winner Matt Damon portrays Odysseus, the king of Ithaca, who embarks on a treacherous 10-year journey home after the Trojan War. Through deadly obstacles and a seven-year layover on Calypso’s (Charlize Theron) mythical island, Odysseus’s one driving force is reuniting with his Queen Penelope (Hathaway) and his son, Telemachus (Holland). This cast of characters also includes Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy and Clytemnestra, Jon Bernthal as Menelaus, Zendaya as Athena, Robert Pattinson as Antinous, and more.

During their interview, Hathaway and Holland reveal the technique behind Nolan’s latest IMAX achievement and how it created a moment so private that Holland could have kissed his fellow Spider-Man: Brand New Day co-star, Bernthal. They also share how Nolan’s attitude on set creates an environment completely its own and allows the cast to step outside their minds, and how production designer Ruth De Jong helped facilitate Nolan’s grounded vision of the legendary Ancient Greece of The Odyssey.
