Christopher Nolan on 'The Odyssey' and Oscar Triumph: 'Had I Taken on Too Much?'

Christopher Nolan, dressed in a slightly crumpled suit, sits in a suite at London's Corinthia Hotel, sipping tea and admitting to 'sheer panic' the day before the world premiere of his latest film, an adaptation of Homer's epic 'The Odyssey.' The film, reportedly costing $250 million, represents the biggest gamble of Nolan's career. He reflects on the Oscar triumph and the challenges of the project, including the acquisition of a puppy. The premiere features stars Matt Damon, Tom Holland, and Lupita Nyong'o. Nolan confesses, 'Sometimes I felt I had taken on more than I could handle.' The film's success depends not just on ticket sales but on the entire cinematic world's engagement.
