As I reported a few weeks ago, one of my sources told me that a DUNE: PART THREE prologue would be attached to IMAX 70mm screenings of THE ODYSSEY. I've since been told that representatives from Warner Bros. UK are expected to visit the BFI IMAX in the coming weeks to preview the reel. That said, this information comes from a single source, so take it with a grain of salt until officially confirmed.

We’re about a month away from the release of THE ODYSSEY. What are your expectations for the film? Do you think it has the potential to be considered one of Nolan’s best movies?

David Cronenberg also revealed in 2014 that Memento was his favorite Christopher Nolan film: “For me, Christopher Nolan’s best film is Memento, and his films today are not as good. Has Hollywood destroyed him? I don’t know. It’s a very dramatic way of looking at it, but perhaps there was another Christopher Nolan who would have been more interesting to my taste, one who might not be as successful today if he had continued down the path of Memento. I have no hostility toward Hollywood for making mediocre films, but I do think that, at the moment, it is not the best place to make movies. To me, having a $200 million budget to make a sequel is not very interesting. But there was a time when Hollywood made incredible films. I have affection for the Hollywood system, but I also believe it can destroy people. We know many filmmakers who came from Europe to make a film and ended up lost. Some think they will be able to work the same way they did in Europe. But when they arrive in Los Angeles, they realize they have no power and are simply employees. The irony is that Hollywood wants you because you have something special, and when you get there, the very thing that makes you unique is what it fears the most. That can be very violent, emotionally and financially. So you end up with nothing. Neither the satisfaction of being the artist you are, nor the satisfaction of achieving major box office success. Hollywood is a gamble that many people have lost. I think we are living through a bad period, one suffering from a cruel lack of inspiration. I largely explain it through fear of failure and fear of losing money. Studios will sometimes hand an enormous budget to an unknown filmmaker to direct a superhero movie. It’s a way of controlling them. It’s easier than dealing with a strong filmmaker who has real vision.” (thanks to @films7)

Emily Blunt reveals how she met Steven Spielberg through Christopher Nolan: “All I remember was being at the AFI luncheon for OPPENHEIMER with Chris Nolan, and everyone comes up to Chris the whole time - actors, filmmakers - to the point where he's so used to it that he just doesn't stand up anymore. And then I saw him look over my shoulder and stand up, and it was Steven!” (via @nytimes)

Steven Spielberg says Memento remains his favorite Christopher Nolan movie. “It will be my all time favorite movie Chris made. Forever.” (via @Collider)

Emily Blunt compares Christopher Nolan and Steven Spielberg: “I find them both incredibly courageous, very bold, able to handle a massive mythic world. But look, one's very British and one is very much not. Chris is like a lot of members of my family, so that was very familiar territory to me. Even though he's actually very tender with actors, there's a no-nonsense, laser-beam throughline of communication, no softening the blows. Brits don't enthuse about anything, really, because it's perceived as gushy, so Chris is like a Blunt to me. But there's an instinctual thing that they both have. Even though Steven wears it more on his sleeve, something drops in on both of them, like they are touched. You never see either of them with their head in their hands, like, 'How are we going to shoot this?,' ever.” (via @nytimes)

One month from now, I’ll be watching a new Christopher Nolan film. What’s crazy is that no Nolan marketing campaign has ever revealed so little footage. I have absolutely no idea what to expect.

35 Days until Christopher Nolan’s ‘THE ODYSSEY’

The trailer notably gives us our first look at Zendaya as Athena and Lupita Nyong’o as Clytemnestra. It’s far more epic than the previous trailers without revealing much additional footage.

I just secured my tickets for THE ODYSSEY in IMAX 70mm for the night of July 14–15. Can’t wait.

As I announced, a new trailer is currently playing before screenings of DISCLOSURE DAY. It’s exceptional and easily the best trailer released so far. Huge thanks to my source.
