During his first visit to Korea, director Christopher Nolan said, "I am aware of the great love Korean audiences have for 'Interstellar.' I have wanted to come to Korea for a long time."

On the morning of the 3rd, a press conference for the Korean release of the film 'Odyssey' (directed by Christopher Nolan) was held in the Grand Ballroom of the Four Seasons Hotel in Gwanghwamun, Jongno-gu, Seoul. Matt Damon, Charlize Theron, producer Emma Thomas, and director Christopher Nolan attended the press conference that day.

The film 'Odyssey' tells the story of the hero Odysseus, who led Troy to victory in the Trojan War, embarking on a journey to return to his wife Penelope and son Telemachus. Matt Damon plays the role of Odysseus, with Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, and others appearing in the film.

Director Christopher Nolan said, "It was my first visit to Korea, and I had a little time to tour Seoul. I walked along the Han River. It was very hot, but there were cool spaces to be in. I even ate salt bread, which was delicious, and I met fans and talked with them; they were so welcoming that it felt wonderful."

Director Christopher Nolan stated, "I really wanted to come to Korea for a long time. It started back when 'Interstellar' came out. I knew that Korean audiences loved 'Interstellar' very much and that it stayed in theaters for a long time. It is fascinating to see people from other countries enjoy the films I make. Having my films appreciated in a country I have never visited makes me want to visit that place very much."

Continuing, director Christopher Nolan said, "I want to meet audiences and talk about the film. I have wanted to come to Korea for a long time and tried to come during 'Tenet,' but I could not due to the pandemic situation at the time. I am finally so happy to be in Korea with 'Odyssey.'"

Meanwhile, 'Odyssey' is scheduled to be released on the 5th.
