"When she finished her scene, she got a round of applause from the cast and crew," reveals Emma Thomas. "That's something we hadn't seen since Heath Ledger on The Dark Knight." Adds Nolan: "Samantha Morton is somebody I had wanted to work with for a very long time. And she was absolutely who I had in mind as soon as I finished the script for Circe and the way we were approaching that character. I was thrilled when she said yes."

youtu.beChristopher Nolan teases The Odyssey's most brutal scene: 'It leaves them all shaken' (Exclusive)
One of the toughest tests in Odysseus’ journey comes courtesy of massive marauding giants, who make short work of our hero’s men – and Empiregot to see the action unfold, visiting the set last July in Scotland’s Culbin Forest. Among the practical techniques Nolan used to shoot the all-out assault – many of which are being kept under wraps – are forced-perspective illusions and wirework that sent stuntmen hurling through the air, all captured by seven IMAX cameras. For the director, it’s all about the disorientation – and the danger – it presents to our protagonist. “It was a fun sequence to shoot,” Nolan tells Empire during post-production. “It’s really a thing of trying to get across the brutality. They’re warriors, and their weapons and armour is of a level of sophistication that Odysseus has never seen.”
“As with Odysseus’ other fantastical encounters, these set-pieces all serve to challenge him on a character level, while also providing audience thrills. “The point of the Laestrygonians in the story, as in the original poem, is to show in some ways the questionable nature of Odysseus’ leadership. To give his men reason to doubt him,” the director explains. “And so what they come up against leaves them all shaken.”
