Christopher Nolan says movies like Backrooms and Obsession are proof positive that younger audiences will sit through a three-hour Greek epic like The Odyssey – despite star Matt Damon's doubts.
"I think I know what he was driving at, because it does seem like a long time since somebody made a film like this in this type of way, where you travel the world, get together a cast of thousands, and so on," Nolan told the Telegraph when asked about Damon's thoughts. The actor previously stated that he "knew that this was the last chance I was going to have to do something like this."
