#TheOdyssey composer Ludwig Göransson says that Christopher Nolan invited him over to watch "The Last Temptation of Christ" for inspiration.

The wonders that come with making a superhero movie end with actual fight choreography and practical effects instead of a bunch of CG blobs crashing into each other.

The lesson Hollywood will learn between this and WEAPONS: More branch snapping!

George Lucas says Hollywood focus groups are giving fans too much power: "[Studios] let the audience actually make the movie... it’s all about what the fans think." “I don’t like focus groups. The audience doesn’t know what they want to see. If they don’t like a character, that’s interesting, and as a filmmaker I want to find out why. But when the studios hear that, they take the wrong message. They let the audience actually make the movie. Of course, now they go crazy with that. Now, it’s all about what the fans think. That isn’t how you make the movie. You make a movie by finding someone that knows how to make movies, that has a story to tell and is passionate about it.” (via A Rabbit's Foot) variety.com/2026/film/news…

How exactly do you retell a story that’s been told a thousand times before? In adapting Homer’s ‘Odyssey,’ Christopher Nolan was fully cognizant of what he calls “the Ur-text problem”: when a tale is so ubiquitous and influential that modern audiences find the original tired or derivative. The epic poem dates back to the seventh or eighth century B.C. and has informed and has influenced world culture for nearly three millennia. When it came to studio blockbusters, however, Nolan felt a curious absence: “The genre of Greek mythology doesn’t really exist in movies,” he tells critic Bilge Ebiri. For his latest film, Nolan wanted to plunge viewers into the elements of Homer’s world and create a genuinely physical experience. The movie opens with the words “It is a time of apparent magic,” but this is not a magical world; it’s a tactile, immersive one that happens to have magic in it. It’s also surprisingly intimate. 'The Odyssey' is not only Nolan’s most sweeping film but also his quietest and maybe even his saddest, continuing the mood of psychological and civilizational despair that marked his previous effort, the shattering, Oscar-winning 'Oppenheimer.' To say more would be to give away too much, but like almost all of Nolan’s films, 'The Odyssey' works toward a devastating climax that recontextualizes just about everything we’ve seen leading up to it.

Got to love how Variety is so cucked in their support for Ai that they’re now doing free press for what’s essentially an asylum film meant to cash in on bigots.
