Nolan's most demanding project yet
Earlier this month, Damon spoke about the scale of the production during an interview at the California Adopt-A-Pet Day event.
“It was by far the hardest movie I've ever made. Chris likes to shoot everything real. So there's no kind of green screen, no faking it, no kind of studio stuff,” the actor said.
Known for relying on practical effects, Nolan once again used real locations and minimal visual effects for the film. The Odyssey is also the first movie to be shot entirely with IMAX cameras and is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on July 17.
