The team behind the film 'Odyssey' shared their experiences in Seoul during a press conference held on August 3 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Jongno-gu. Attending the event were director Christopher Nolan, producer Emma Thomas, and actors Matt Damon and Charlize Theron.
The 'Odyssey' team revealed that they arrived in Korea two days prior and explored various parts of Seoul.
Christopher Nolan expressed, "I had a little time to explore Seoul. I walked along the Han River, which was truly beautiful. It was very hot, but there were plenty of cool places to enjoy. I also tried the salt bread, which was delicious." He added, "I spoke with fans, and they were so welcoming. It seems like a fantastic city, and I would love to spend more time here."
Emma Thomas also shared her satisfaction with their time in Seoul, stating, "I think I have really come to love Korea. As Chris mentioned, I walked along the Han River, and the natural scenery was beautiful. I saw birds and found places to relax."
She continued, "I also visited Olive Young. Chris had a bit of a tough time, but I enjoyed it. My son's girlfriend is Korean-American, so she gave me tips on what to do in Korea, including trying the salt bread. I tried to enjoy as much as I could."
Matt Damon mentioned his experience watching baseball and touring Seoul. He said, "I had a great time watching the baseball game. The kids were with us, and I had to adjust to the time difference, so I couldn't stay until the end, but I was able to watch the game. Yesterday, we also did a tour. It was nice to have time to see Seoul all day."
Charlize Theron shared her previous visit to Korea, saying, "A few months ago, I came to Korea with my daughter. She loves Korean culture and enjoys playing with her friends. I am even happier to return with 'Odyssey.' I met friends in Korea and enjoyed Korean food. I also took care of my skincare. Seoul is beautiful and rich in culture. I felt that as soon as I landed at the airport."
'Odyssey' tells the story of Odysseus, the hero who led the victory in the Trojan War, as he battles the wrath of the gods to return home. The film is set to be released in theaters on August 5.
