When Christopher Nolan gathered his team of artisans for his adaptation of Homer’s epic poem “The Odyssey” he first told production designer Ruth De Jong of his plans.

But the process was shrouded in secrecy because working with Nolan is an in-person process. De Jong explained, “There are no scripts emailed, sent or discussed on any form of device. Everything is in person, which I love about him.”
