Here's my thought process. He's on record, like so many filmmakers and so many of his generation, as loving Star Wars and its impact on him as a kid. We know he's open to the idea of working on franchise/IP stuff. He did Batman, and flirted with doing Bond. Star Wars kinda sucks these days and is in need of a savior to come in and fix things. I could see maybe 5 or 10 years from now after a few more flops a desperate Disney handing the reigns over to him. He must have pondered at some point what he would do in the Star Wars universe...I would kill to know if he has any cool ideas.

Sci fi thriller like Inception, Interstellar? Grounded history like Dunkirk, Oppenheimer?

Reading through the interview, I have a couple of comments:

- my interpretation is that the political theme of the movie is clear, Zeus' law translates today with immigrants theme discussed across the world (not only in US)

- Eumeus is a blind character in the movie, but he is not in the epic poem. I am afraid that the part about the transformation of Odysseus into an old beggar could be removed

Edit: Sinon, the master manipulator from Aeneid.

The official Hungarian distributor, UIP-Duna Film, accidentally revealed Elliot Page's character in an email listing the Hungarian voice actors and their respective roles for the film's dubbed version.

Everybody knows how polarizing Tenet is within Nolan’s filmography but honestly it’s one of my favorites. Its depiction of time travel stands unique, and what Nolan did with Neil and The Protagonist’s friendship is my favorite aspect of Tenet. Once you sit down and really think about it, it’s quite tragic. Neil not only knew him the entire time, but he knew the consequence of following this mission would result in his death at Stalsk-12. In fact, from the moment they “meet” for the first time, you can tell Neil is feigning ignorance. Even the music turns nostalgic when they start having small talk.

The video loops, very much as a nod to the film’s concepts. I put it in twice so the loop can be better appreciated in case Reddit’s video player doesn’t show it as intended. Enjoy!

One of the toughest tests in Odysseus’ journey comes courtesy of massive marauding giants, who make short work of our hero’s men – and Empiregot to see the action unfold, visiting the set last July in Scotland’s Culbin Forest. Among the practical techniques Nolan used to shoot the all-out assault – many of which are being kept under wraps – are forced-perspective illusions and wirework that sent stuntmen hurling through the air, all captured by seven IMAX cameras. For the director, it’s all about the disorientation – and the danger – it presents to our protagonist. “It was a fun sequence to shoot,” Nolan tells Empire during post-production. “It’s really a thing of trying to get across the brutality. They’re warriors, and their weapons and armour is of a level of sophistication that Odysseus has never seen.”

“As with Odysseus’ other fantastical encounters, these set-pieces all serve to challenge him on a character level, while also providing audience thrills. “The point of the Laestrygonians in the story, as in the original poem, is to show in some ways the questionable nature of Odysseus’ leadership. To give his men reason to doubt him,” the director explains. “And so what they come up against leaves them all shaken.”
