Christopher Nolan directed this summer's "The Odyssey" as if it would be the last movie he ever made, as he does for each of his films. From "Memento" to "Inception," " Oppenheimer " and "The Dark Knight," he pushes the limits of what's possible. "The Odyssey" is the first ever theatrical release shot entirely with IMAX film cameras. Over 91 days, Nolan shot 2 million feet of footage, filming across Greece, Iceland, Morocco, Italy and Scotland. "In taking on 'The Odyssey,' it does become about scale.
