Christopher Nolan has spent his career pushing the boundaries of cinema, but The Odyssey may be his most ambitious filmmaking challenge yet.

In this exclusive behind-the-scenes clip, discover how Nolan and the IMAX team overcame the biggest obstacle to filming an entire feature with IMAX cameras: the cameras themselves.

For years, filmmakers loved the incredible image quality but struggled with the size, weight and noise of traditional IMAX cameras. Actors often found them distracting during intimate dialogue scenes, while crews faced the enormous challenge of transporting and operating the equipment in some of the world’s most demanding locations.

The solution? A new generation of quieter IMAX film cameras, purpose-built to make Christopher Nolan’s long-held dream of shooting an entire feature on IMAX film a reality.

If you’ve ever wondered why Nolan is so passionate about IMAX, this feature explains why.

🎬 The Odyssey arrives exclusively in cinemas next week. If you’re planning to see it, booking your tickets early, especially for IMAX, is highly recommended.
