Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" spanned 172 minutes, a runtime that, while epic, was shorter than "Oppenheimer." The production involved an extensive 91-day shooting schedule, which concluded nine days ahead of its 100-day plan.
Filming locations were spread across six countries: Greece, Italy, Morocco, Iceland, Scotland, and the United States. This global approach aimed to immerse audiences in realistic settings, akin to a documentary experience.
The film's reported production budget was $250 million, positioning it as a major blockbuster. Costume design alone involved over 5,300 pieces, created by a large team of artisans.
To achieve a unique soundscape, composer Ludwig Göransson utilized 35 gongs, alongside traditional instruments. The epic scale was further emphasized by the use of 2,000 extras for the siege of Troy scenes and the construction of 35-foot Trojan Horses.
