Invocando musas gregas, equipe de Christopher Nolan construiu Ciclope de 18 metros para evitar o uso excessivo de CGI em A Odisseia

For his adaptation of "The Odyssey," Christopher Nolan's team built an 18-meter-tall Cyclops puppet to avoid excessive use of CGI. Matt Damon revealed in an interview that the set was constructed inside the Cave of Psychro, a location where, according to Greek mythology, Zeus was born. Nolan is known for his preference for practical effects, having previously flipped a real truck for "The Dark Knight" and recreated an atomic bomb explosion for "Oppenheimer." The article clarifies that Nolan does use CGI to enhance or complement his images but dislikes using it as a crutch, especially when his budgets allow for practical effects. Damon noted that Nolan uses the minimum possible amount of special effects and relies on the best teams to figure out how to do things practically.
