Creating the Scylla scene in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. In this video essay, I discuss how Christopher Nolan filmed the Scylla and Charybdis whirlpool scene in The Odyssey, an adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey.

The Odyssey is an upcoming epic action fantasy film written, produced, and directed by Christopher Nolan as an adaptation of the eponymous epic poem by Homer, produced by Nolan's production company Syncopy and distributed by Universal Pictures. The film stars Matt Damon as Odysseus, the Ancient Greek king of Ithaca, and follows his journey home after the Trojan War to reunite with his wife, Penelope. The ensemble cast also features Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong'o, Robert Pattinson, and Charlize Theron.
