‘The Odyssey’ Gets First Rave Reaction From Christoper Nolan’s ‘Dark Knight’ Co-Writer and Brother Jonathan: ‘An Incredible Achievement’

Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” officially has its first rave reaction, courtesy of the director’s brother Jonathan Nolan. The “Westworld” co-creator and “Fallout” executive producer told CinemaBlend that his older brother’s upcoming epic is “spectacular” and “tremendous.”

“I’m not working on ‘The Odyssey.’ I have seen ‘The Odyssey.’ It’s tremendous. It’s an incredible achievement,” Jonathan Nolan said. “I was fascinated by the ‘Iliad’ and ‘The Odyssey’ when I was younger, and I had some fun conversations with Chris about where he’s taking it. It’s a spectacular film… I’m not sure I’m supposed to say that but, yes, it’s tremendous.”

Jonathan and Christopher Nolan’s career are tied together as Christopher’s breakout 2000 feature “Memento” was based on Jonathan’s short story. The brothers would go on to co-write “The Prestige,” “The Dark Knight,” “The Dark Knight Rises” and “Interstellar” together.
