‘The Odyssey’ Is First Film Shot Entirely With Imax Film Cameras: How CEO Rich Gelfond Met Christopher Nolan’s Challenge


Imax CEO Rich Gelfond reveals how Christopher Nolan pushed the large format exhibitor to upgrade their film cameras so he can shoot entirely in Imax.

The pic based on Homer’s epic, follows Odysseus in his perilous journey home after the Trojan War, showcasing his encounters with Polyphemus, the Sirens, Circe, and finishing with his reunion with his wife, Penelope. The pic also stars Charlize Theron, Jon Bernthal, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Mia Goth, Elliot Page, Lupita Nyong’o, and John Leguizamo. Most recently, Ryan Coogler’s Sinners repped the first release shot with IMAX film cameras (not digital) since Oppenheimer, and the last until next year’s The Odyssey.
