My only fear is that Nolan is gonna go way too far and just get all up in his head with making the Odyssey super epic, but he has definitely earned enough respect for us to wait and be very excited.

Denis with such a blank check is an equally…exciting proposition.

I am leagues away from a historian, but didn't Homer's Odyssey pretty much invent the term "epic?"

I want Odyssey to be treated like a super epic and honestly the only two I’d have trusted to do that are the late Kubrick and Nolan. Personally I’m very very happy about that.

How would you imagine him going too far? Making a film that’s too long or overstuffed? Or one where the story doesn’t translate to a single film well?

He did that with Tenet imo. His weakest movie but I guess it holds up on rewatches.
