Director Christopher Nolan, visiting Korea for the first time in his life, will meet Yu Jae-seok.
World-renowned auteur Christopher Nolan and Hollywood actor Matt Damon will make a surprise appearance on tvN variety show You Quiz on the Block.
tvN You Quiz on the Block said "Ahead of the domestic release of the film Odyssey (Aug. 5), the appearances of director Christopher Nolan and actor Matt Damon, who will visit Korea on Aug. 3, have been confirmed," and "They will share a variety of stories about the film and candid conversations never heard elsewhere, so please look forward to it," it said.
This is Nolan's first visit to Korea. Along with the news of his first visit to Korea, Nolan released a letter he wrote himself thanking Korean fans for the love and support they have shown his films, drawing even more attention. Matt Damon will visit Korea for the first time in 10 years to have a meaningful meeting with domestic fans after a long time.
During their visit, the two will participate in the recording of You Quiz on the Block to share not only various behind-the-scenes stories about Odyssey but also their philosophies on directing and acting and life stories rarely heard. In particular, expectations are high about what conversations will unfold, since both Christopher Nolan and Matt Damon will be meeting MC Yu Jae-seok for the first time.
You Quiz on the Block has reinforced its status as Korea's representative talk show that global stars visit first through the appearances of the two. Timothy Chalamet, Zendaya, Scarlett Johansson, Billie Eilish, Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and other global stars from various nationalities and fields have appeared and generated buzz, and global leaders such as Bill Gates and Jensen Huang have also visited You Quiz, repeatedly proving its strength as a global communication IP.
Meanwhile, director Christopher Nolan's visit to Korea in August has been confirmed. Above all, this visit is especially meaningful as it is the first visit to Korea by world-renowned auteur Christopher Nolan, which Korean film fans have eagerly awaited.
According to officials, this visit to Korea was made at Nolan's active request after several previous attempts to visit Korea had failed. Odyssey insisted on meeting fans in Korea to introduce the film, and it is reported that several schedules were carefully coordinated in person, further amplifying the significance of this visit.
In addition, director Christopher Nolan and lead actors Matt Damon and Charlize Theron are also scheduled to visit Korea.<
