Christopher Nolan Says THE ODYSSEY Is Shorter Than OPPENHEIMER

from Nerdist in Audio

 Christopher Nolan Says 'The Odyssey' Has a Shorter Runtime Than 'Oppenheimer'Despite the massive, mythic scope of Homer’s epic, director Christopher Nolan has confirmed that his upcoming adaptation of The Odyssey will be surprisingly lean. Speaking in a recent interview, Nolan revealed that the film will have a shorter runtime than the 3-hour Oppenheimer. The director explained that he wanted the survival-at-sea and war-torn elements of Odysseus' journey to feel relentless, urgent, and fast-paced. By tightening the narrative, Nolan aims to deliver a propulsive, visceral action-drama that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats without testing their endurance.Visit  https://nerdist.com/article/christopher-nolan-says-the-odyssey-shorter-runtime-than-oppenheimer/  to read or listen to the article.Powered by Instaread (https://instaread.co/player) Hosted on Acast.
