Christopher Nolan's 'Odyssey' shot entirely on Imax film
Christopher Nolan
's 'The Odyssey' will shoot entirely on Imax film cameras, a first for a commercial feature.
Nolan likes the big-screen format. However, filming a complete feature film on the famously big, loud and unwieldy Imax film cameras (unlike the lighter, quieter digital Imax cameras, used in recent films such as Thunderbolts and the upcoming Superman) was unworkable, according to The
Hollywood
Reporter.
While Nolan has earlier worked on historical and science fiction films like 'Oppenheimer', 'Inception' and 'Interstellar', this project signals a new direction. 'The Odyssey' is rooted in ancient mythology, following the journey of
Odysseus
as he faces gods, monsters, and challenges while trying to return home after the Trojan War.
As per The Hollywood Reporter, Universal in a statement shared, "Christopher Nolan's next film The Odyssey is a mythic action epic shot across the world using brand-new IMAX film technology." This also marks the first time Homer's foundational tale will be brought to IMAX screens.

After the success of 'Oppenheimer', which earned more than USD190 million on Imax screens, some 20 percent of its total gross, Nolan challenged the company to improve its cameras, to make them lighter and quieter, and to solve issues with scanning and processing the cameras' 70 mm film stock, to allow him to easily watch dailies as he shot.
"Chris called me up and said If you can figure out how to solve the problems, will make [Odyssey] 100 percent in Imax. And that's what we're doing," said Imax CEO Rich Gelfond, speaking at the company's annual press lunch in Cannes. "He forced us to rethink that side of our business, our film recorders, our film cameras," as per The Hollywood Reporter.
The new film cameras are reserved for Nolan for now, but after he wraps The Odyssey, Imax will begin renting them out to other directors.

When Sonam Kapoor revealed she was mocked for facial hair, but Kajol's unibrow motivated her: ‘She is the biggest heroine...'
Sonam Kapoor has always been known for her candid statements and bold fashion choices. But not many know about the tough time she had growing up. In a past interview, the 'Neerja' actress opened up about facing hurtful comments because of her facial hair and weight gain, all caused by Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). But what gave her hope during that difficult time was actress Kajol . 'I was traumatised': Sonam on her teenage struggles Before she became the stylish star of films like 'Aisha' and 'Khoobsurat', Sonam was just a teenager struggling with a medical condition. She was diagnosed with PCOS, earlier called PCOD, a hormonal issue that many young women face. The condition caused her to gain weight, develop facial hair, and suffer from acne. Talking about this difficult phase in her life, the 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag' actress shared her story on Barkha Dutt's Mojo Story. She said, 'I had something called PCOS. They used to call it PCOD, but they've changed it now. Because of that, I had multiple hormonal issues. So, I put on weight when I was 16 years old, which is when you're supposed to be your 'prettiest'. I had facial hair, I broke out in acne, and I had people tell me, 'She's Anil Kapoor 's daughter'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like เทรดทองCFDs กับโบรกเกอร์ที่เชื่อถือได้ | เรียนรู้เพิ่มเติม IC Markets สมัคร Undo I was traumatised.'

The 'Raanjhanaa' recalled the moment clearly saying, 'At that time, I remember Kajol had a unibrow. She never did her eyebrows. She had hairline hair, and I remember my mom showing me Kajol's picture, and she was like, 'Look at her, she's the biggest heroine right now.' I remember seeing her and feeling motivated.' Sonam didn't let her struggles hold her back. She was later spotted by none other than filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali , her life changed when she was cast in 'Saawariya' opposite Ranbir Kapoor . The film marked her debut in Bollywood and kicked off her career. On the personal front, Sonam got married to businessman Anand Ahuja on 8 May 2018.
