Christopher Nolan’s epic new film “The Odyssey” is a groundbreaking cinematic feat — the first feature ever shot entirely on IMAX film, using a custom-built, soundproofed camera nicknamed “the blimp” that weighs nearly 300 pounds and requires a six-person crew to move. Filming pushed boundaries with massive, practical sets including a 110,000-square-foot Troy complete with 60 structures and real olive trees, and even a Trojan Horse designed to look like it washed ashore. Cast and crew endured brutal weather, hiking daily to a mountain-top palace, while Anne Hathaway learned to weave and over 5,300 costumes were crafted. Nolan opted for real-world effects — like a real Cyclops cave in Greece and underworld scenes filmed in Iceland’s midnight sun — avoiding CGI for visceral, immersive spectacle. The film is dedicated to David Keighley, the engineer behind the revolutionary camera system that made it all possible.
