While filming Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, Matt Damon experienced an unforgettable on-set moment. In a scene where his character Odysseus opens the gates of Troy, Damon expected to see co-star Benny Safdie and roughly 20 extras in the dark. Instead, Nolan surprised him by unleashing a roaring charge of 750 physical extras.
The sequence showcases Nolan's signature commitment to practical filmmaking over heavy CGI effects. This hands-on approach resonated with audiences, helping The Odyssey achieve a massive $124.5 million domestic opening weekend, standing out as one of the year's biggest cinematic launches.
Damon called the overwhelming moment one of the wild highlights of his entire acting career.
