Summary

Nolan Warns AI

Nolan warned that a box-office failure of his $250 million film could speed AI-assisted filmmaking, while a success would show physical spectacle still earns premium tickets.
He said Generation Z is utterly rejecting AI-generated movies and his children instantly call such work “AI slop.”
Nolan highlighted that Odyssey was filmed on 70 mm IMAX with a 60-foot Cyclops puppet in Psychro Cave and cited directors Kane Parsons and Curry Barker as preferring practical effects.
