Matt Damon nennt den Oscar-Wettbewerb „rückwärts“ und sagt, Nolans „Odyssee“ fühlte sich an wie der „letzte große Film, den ich jemals machen werde“

> “What I don’t like is this idea of campaigning,” Damon explained. “It seems completely backwards to me and odd. Maybe it’s good for movies, just having it all out there and gets the culture thinking and talking about movies. I hope that’s the case…”

> “Doing ‘The Odyssey’ this last year, it felt like my one chance in my life to make a David Lean movie, you know?” Damon said. “That I was making the last big movie on film that I was ever going to get to make.”
