[0:01] Promise me you will come back.
[0:08] >> What if I can't?
[0:11] >> The Odyssey is a massive story. That's a
[0:15] really exciting challenge to take on.
[0:18] >> This is definitely the biggest movie
[0:20] that I've ever done in my career. It
[0:22] feels like we made six or seven movies.
[0:24] And in a sense, we did. every single
[0:26] kind of chapter of this adventure was at
[0:29] a different location that posed a
[0:31] different challenge.
[0:32] >> You just know that the locations when
[0:34] you're telling a story like this are
[0:35] going to be like characters unto
[0:36] themselves. So, they have to be extra
[0:37] special. And so, we found ourselves in
[0:40] these really amazing places.
[0:44] >> There are parts of the world that I
[0:45] don't think I would even have ever seen
[0:48] or known about had it not been for this
[0:50] experience. As an actress, it's such a
[0:52] luxury to be in such an immersive space.
[0:55] I don't have to pretend like I'm on a
[0:56] boat. I am on the boat, you know, like
[0:58] we are at sea. What a gift. You know,
[1:02] there's a certain level of information
[1:04] that you learn when something is real.
[1:07] So, when you go to these places, you
[1:08] just feel it and it just adds another
[1:11] layer to what it is that you're trying
[1:12] to express.
[1:14] >> Action.
[1:15] >> One of the things I like about shooting
[1:17] on location is we're moving countries
[1:19] every couple of weeks, so it gives you
[1:21] this incredible momentum.
[1:24] The issue on this film is that we're
[1:26] shooting in extraordinary places that
[1:28] were hard to get to, hard to shoot in.
[1:30] >> You know, you normally if you're doing a
[1:31] Hollywood movie at the base camp is 10
[1:33] seconds away from the set. When you're
[1:35] shooting Chris not movie, it's like
[1:37] that's a 45minute hike in sandals.
[1:40] They're full costume. I mean, every
[1:43] location we went to, I would get there
[1:44] and I'd just start laughing. Go like,
[1:46] who thought you should shoot a movie
[1:48] here?
[1:50] You know, we're shooting in Nester's
[1:52] cave in Greece. It's this incredible
[1:54] place, but nobody's ever tried to shoot
[1:56] a film up there. And so to see the
[1:58] rigging that they did to basically turn
[2:00] it into a natural sound stage, I I don't
[2:03] I don't know any other director who
[2:05] would try it.
[2:06] >> There was no location that was
[2:09] straightforward and easy, but all of
[2:11] those locations made sense for the
[2:13] story. Really, it wouldn't be the film
[2:15] that it is without going there and doing
[2:17] it for real.
[2:20] The scale was so so big. I think what's
[2:24] so special about Chris's movies is that
[2:26] he goes the extra distance to make it
[2:28] feel authentic for us on set, which then
[2:30] makes it feel more authentic for the
[2:32] audience in the theater.
[2:34] >> I mean, there's a reason we call these
[2:35] things odysseies. This is the Odyssey,
[2:37] and it really is a journey through all
[2:39] of these incredible places and hopefully
[2:42] something that just really profoundly
[2:44] entertains and moves people.
[2:46] >> As a fan, I'm so excited. I cannot wait
[2:49] to sit in that IMAX theater and
[2:52] completely be lost in this world that
[2:54] he's created.
