Universal Pictures has released a new behind-the-scenes featurette for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, taking audiences inside the making of the filmmaker's ambitious adaptation of Homer's legendary Greek epic. While the film's trailer had already offered a glimpse of Nolan's vision, the newly released video shifts the focus behind the camera, showcasing the scale of the production, its practical filmmaking approach and the extensive work that has gone into bringing the ancient tale to life. The featurette, titled On the Set of The Odyssey, runs for just over a minute and features comments from cast members including Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, alongside new footage from the production. Matt Damon calls The Odyssey the biggest film of his career The behind-the-scenes video suggests that The Odyssey could become Christopher Nolan's most ambitious project to date, with cast members repeatedly emphasising the sheer scale of the undertaking.

"This is definitely the biggest movie that I've ever done in my career in terms of its scale," Damon says in the video, adding, "Definitely the biggest movie I've ever done in terms of its ambition." While the film is rooted in Greek mythology and features larger-than-life adventures, the cast stressed that Nolan has remained committed to emotional storytelling. Zendaya, who portrays the goddess Athena, says the filmmaker has found a balance between spectacle and human drama. "A great filmmaker like Christopher Nolan can do scope and action and fantasy, but also heart and humanity and depth and rawness."
