## Summary



## Transcript

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