      Nolan:

      >“Emma [Thomas, producer and Nolan’s wife] said it best when we first announced the project: it’s foundational. There’s a bit of everything in it. I mean, it truly contains all stories. As a filmmaker, you’re looking for gaps in cinematic culture, things that haven’t been done before. And what I saw is that all of this great mythological cinematic work that I had grown up with – Ray Harryhausen movies and other things – I’d never seen that done with the sort of weight and credibility that an A-budget and a big Hollywood, IMAX production could do.

      >We shot over two million feet of film. It’s pretty primal! I’ve been out on it for the last four months. We got the cast who play the crew of Odysseus’ ship out there on the real waves, in the real places. And yeah, it’s vast and terrifying and wonderful and benevolent, as the conditions shift. We really wanted to capture how hard those journeys would have been for people. And the leap of faith that was being made in an unmapped, uncharted world.

      >By embracing the physicality of the real world in the making of the film, you do inform the telling of the story in interesting ways. Because you’re confronted on a daily basis by the world pushing back at you.”

      Have not looked forward to a cinema experience like this in a decade!

      I genuinely hope it’s good, but I often find that someone talking about how much work went in, that’s to deflect criticism for a final product they don’t expect will be received well. Here’s hoping it’s Interstellar and not Tenet.

      This might sound stupid, but if it’s the actual oddessy story, haven’t we all heard it a thousand times?

      And they’re all wearing that fake leather Hollywood bs armor instead of anything remotely historic

      If it’s 35mm that’s 370 hours of footage. If it’s all imax film it’s closer to 100 hours. Still a crazy amount of film.

      Announcements like this always yield the worst flops. I hope that’s not true…

      It’s a big story. Nolan is quite adapted to telling this story on a grand scale. Pays homage to Homer, as his work was (during those times) a grand scale endeavor to compose.
      Ridley Scott would have been another filmmaker that would do well with this. It’ll be great to see this on a large screen, and Nolan will deliver this masterpiece.

      what a weird way to quantify it being epic. who even knows how many feet of film is in a minute of video?

      Not a film guy… can I get some context on that? It’s meaningless on it’s own.

      I’m very excited about this. The stills released so far have been underwhelming but it would be silly to overreact to them.

      I know Nolan has the juice to pull off the set pieces and scope- can he deliver on the emotion and character work? Like many, I didn’t care for Tenet but I don’t think he’s ever made a bad movie.

      I think worst case we get some of the issues of the Dark Knight Rises where it’s a little overstufffed and tonally inconsistent but still very compelling. It’s a really interesting choice for him coming off Oppenheimer. Best case, this could be the culmination of an all-time director at the peak of his powers telling one of the seminal epics of human history. Fascinated to see how it turns out.
