Christopher Nolan: The Interview

July 19, 2026·25m

Oscar-winning director, writer, and producer Christopher Nolan sits down with Jon Stewart to discuss his new film, "The Odyssey." They talk about "Oppenheimer" paving the way for "The Odyssey" to be made, Nolan's process of constructing movies through diagrams and structures, his embrace of the fantastical while showing respect to the film's source material, and finishing ahead of schedule despite filming with an IMAX camera in three-minute increments.
