For Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s epic poem “ The Odyssey ,” Papsidera had to assembling a huge cast to bring Homer’s epic poem to life. It wasn’t until Papsidera read the script that he realized it was Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s work.

What do you think?’ And that’s how the process began.” Speaking at the SCAD Savannah Film Festival during a crafts panel on the film, Papsidera revealed, “He did talk about how he wanted Odysseus to be an American. We talked about the idea that he’s a worker among workers, an everyman.” Papsidera continued, “We went through the usual suspects of actors we typically bring up.

De Jong and Nolan scouted locations around the world. A fifth-century castle in Italy, perched approximately 1,030 feet above sea level, became Ithaca.

She also designed multiple Trojan horses, each standing approximately 35 feet tall. The beaches of Essaouira, on Morocco’s Atlantic coast, served as the discovery site of the Trojan horse and the boat launch for Odysseus’s journey back to Ithaca.

Troy, by the numbers, was a massive accomplishment — it covered more than 2.5 acres, or over 110,000 square feet, large enough to accommodate 2,000 extras and more than 60
