Christopher Nolan brings 'The Odyssey' to Korea with one wish: 'Have a great time at the movies'

Christopher Nolan, along with actors Matt Damon, Charlize Theron, and producer Emma Thomas, visited Seoul ahead of the South Korean premiere of his film 'The Odyssey.' During a press conference, the group shared anecdotes about the filming experience and their impressions of Seoul. Damon described working with Nolan as challenging but rewarding, noting that he had yet to receive a direct compliment from the director. Theron humorously dismissed any notion of being slighted by Nolan, joking about staying in touch for future projects. The group highlighted their appreciation for Korean culture, with Thomas wearing a traditional norigae pendant gifted by local staff. The film, set to open in South Korea shortly after its North American release, is being positioned as a major cinematic event.
