The demand to see #TheOdyssey in 70mm Imax is so high that Christopher Nolan fans are taking cross-country trips, buying tickets in bulk and more to see the film. One fan even delayed her pregnancy, telling Variety: "We have to wait a few months. Otherwise, it's going to be too close to ‘The Odyssey.’” Simon James, a 33-year-old attorney in New York City, bought 18 tickets to Imax 70mm screenings over the film's first three weeks of release, explaining: "Chris Nolan is my favorite director, and I am a big appreciator of his films," Simon says. "I really believe him when he says that the best way to see a Chris Nolan film is in an Imax theater. The experience of his films is exponentially elevated by viewing it in the right conditions." wp.me/pc8uak-1lHwEG

Nolan cast this film with some of the most highly regarded working actors, who are really good at their job, in a work of fiction. But, their race and gender means it’s disingenuous? Does anyone realize how utterly stupid this argument sounds?
For Apocalypto, Mel Gibson cast primarily Indigenous people from Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, many of whom had little or no previous acting experience. To add to the film’s authenticity, the entire movie was performed in the Yucatec Maya language.
