Christopher Nolan credited Guillermo del Toro for changing how he thought about filming monsters, revealing that the Oscar-winning Mexican director’s approach “inspired” the mythological creatures featured in The Odyssey.
The film adaptation of Homer’s Greek epic follows Odysseus’s long journey home to Ithaca after the Trojan War as he battles monsters, gods and mythical foes while his wife Penelope (Anne Hathaway) fends off suitors and son Telemachus (Tom Holland) searches for him.
