Matt Damon reveals Christopher Nolan’s hilarious response after six actors got seasick filming The Odyssey.
Host: “How did you shoot those ship scenes? Did anyone get sick?”
Matt Damon: “It’s Chris Nolan, so we shot them on a real ship.”
“Everything’s real. No green screens. That’s how Chris loves to work.”
“We’d been on that ship for over a month, but one day the waves changed and six of the guys got seasick.”
Matt Damon: “Chris immediately looked at them and said, ‘Do you guys mind if I shoot you?’” 😂
See the thing is, I’m extremely ambivalent on Nolan, but when I hear things like “he cast 7 foot and 5 foot tall people, and did a few camera tricks”, that shit has me grinning wolfishly, like that is exciting stuff to read.
