00:01President Donald Trump rallying thousands of supporters
00:04at The Villages, the world's largest retirement community
00:08located in Central Florida.
00:10He also spent a lot of time rambling on about malfunctioning microphones
00:15and the village people.
00:17This speech has not been narrowly focused.
00:21Are you worried about a senior with declining mental faculties?
00:25Don't know where he'll be happiest?
00:27Consider...
00:28The Villages
00:30Your senior should be in a secure and safe place.
00:34I should be indoors at a secure facility
00:36where I can quietly, beautifully, and safely play.
00:40At The Villages, your senior can enjoy golf,
00:43do aerobics, and give important speeches.
00:47You got fish to catch?
00:49If you catch some extra fish, enjoy it.
00:52You got plenty of fish.
00:54There are a lot of fish in the ocean.
00:57I don't know where they came up with that one, but there's a lot of fish.
01:01Plus, our experienced staff is always there to help.
01:04Whether it's trouble on the stairs or freshening him up after an accidental crap.
01:09It's the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
01:14Tonight, give it to me straight.
01:36And now, live on tape from the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City, it's Stephen Colbert!
02:04Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, friends, to The Late Show.
02:06I'm your host, Stephen Colbert, and to everyone watching here and at home, May the 4th be with
02:16you, because, of course, we know May the 4th is International Star Wars Day.
02:23In fact, the whole month is important to Star Wars fans, or as they call themselves, Beliebers,
02:27because the first six films all debuted in May, and this year we're getting the first new Star Wars film
02:36in theaters since 2019, Star Wars, The Mandalorian, and Grogu.
02:44Obviously, I'm thrilled that Baby Yoda is getting a spinoff, but I'm worried he's going to end up like all
02:48child stars.
02:56DUI, rehab, then hosting his own Netflix dating show, Grogu's Bang Boy Beach.
03:03Grogu's, Grogu's, Grogu's.
03:07This new Star Wars film has plenty of big names, because Jeremy Allen White will star, and this is true,
03:13he is starring as Jabba the Hutt's son.
03:18Oh.
03:20Yes, chef.
03:24Jabba, Jabba.
03:25I wouldn't...
03:26It wouldn't be Star Wars without toys and tie-ins.
03:29For this movie, Burger King is rolling the items out like BBQ Bounty Whopper
03:34and Imperial Cheddar Ranch Tots,
03:38and Nabisco is launching Grogu Nilla Nummies.
03:42An amazing treat for any kid who's always wanted to eat Grogu's...
03:47eggs?
03:50Skin?
03:51Poop?
03:51We're not sure.
03:53I don't think this one was cleared over at Skywalker Ranch,
03:56but today, and this is absolutely true,
04:00Pornhub updated their logo
04:01to include the symbol of the Rebel Alliance,
04:06which makes sense.
04:07Everybody loves Star Wars-themed pornos,
04:09like Obi-Wan Can Bone Me,
04:13R2-Double-D2,
04:15and, of course,
04:17Hand Solo.
04:20In this one,
04:22Hand definitely shoots first.
04:25But,
04:26stars aren't the only place.
04:28The stars...
04:29Okay.
04:30Everybody stay calm.
04:32Of course, the stars aren't the only place.
04:34There's a war.
04:35There's also one in Iran.
04:37Well...
04:37Good segue!
04:46Thank you, Graphics Department.
04:48Well,
04:49over the weekend,
04:50Iran submitted a 14-point plan to end the war.
04:53It's pretty one-sided.
04:55They proposed that both sides lift their blockades
04:58of the Strait of Hormuz,
04:59Israel completely end the war in Lebanon,
05:01the U.S. release Iran's frozen assets,
05:04require the U.S. to pay compensation,
05:06and lift all sanctions against Tehran.
05:08In addition,
05:09Iran would get the new Grand Theft Auto,
05:12the free guacamole and participating in Chipotles,
05:16and a hall pass to sleep with Lady of Liberty's sister, Tammy.
05:21Tammy's fun.
05:22Tammy's way more fun.
05:24Trump rejected the offer,
05:26and yesterday he posted this image saying,
05:28I have all the cards.
05:32Which,
05:32you may have seen this,
05:33is cool,
05:34except you might notice the cards Trump is holding
05:37are from the game Uno,
05:39where, quite famously,
05:40the object is to get rid of all your cards.
05:44I have so many cards.
05:45No, I have so many cards.
05:47Look at this.
05:47I have so many cards.
05:49This idiot over here...
05:51Just...
05:51Hold on.
05:53There we go.
05:54Here we go.
05:58This idiot over here just played a draw four,
06:00and I get to draw four more.
06:02I got so many cards.
06:04I got the three of hearts.
06:05I got the blockbuster membership.
06:08Charizard.
06:11The longer this goes on,
06:14just the worst things get for average consumers.
06:17Last week, crude oil hit a wartime high,
06:20trading above $126.
06:22And I'd say Iran has America over a barrel,
06:25but we can't afford a barrel?
06:28Can we do this over a bucket?
06:31As a result,
06:32today,
06:33the average price of gas hit $4.46 a gallon.
06:38God knows what it's doing to the price of grass and ass.
06:44But, come on.
06:46Ask your parents.
06:47Ask your grandparents.
06:49But you got to give it to President Trump.
06:50He campaigned on $2 gas,
06:52and now he's delivering more than twice what he promised.
06:56One Wall Street trader...
07:02Did my own.
07:03Did my own.
07:04One Wall Street trader explained
07:05why oil prices suddenly spiked.
07:07They thought this crisis in the strait
07:10would be short-lived
07:11due to the infamous taco
07:12or Trump always chickens out.
07:15But it turned into...
07:16It turned into a nacho,
07:18which stands for
07:19Not a Chance Hormuz Opens.
07:22Well, if I may,
07:24I'd like to suggest my own acronym,
07:26carnitas.
07:28Which stands for
07:29Can Anyone Recommend Nursing Home?
07:31I Think His A-Brain-Sploded.
07:36This...
07:41I don't know what that is,
07:42but that's very pretty.
07:44The high price of fuel
07:46took its toll this weekend
07:47because yesterday,
07:48Spirit Airlines shut down.
07:52Oh, no.
07:52I have three more weeks of shows to do.
07:56Now I won't have
07:57Spirit Airlines jokes?
07:59Quick, somebody check on Arby's.
08:02The Spirit Airlines of shaved beef.
08:11Spirit announced their immediate closure
08:14in a statement saying
08:15all flights have been canceled
08:16and customer service
08:17is no longer available.
08:20Which, coincidentally,
08:21was also Spirit's motto.
08:24One more for the road, baby!
08:33So, Spirit is gone.
08:35But there are still plenty of safe
08:37and reliable airlines out there,
08:38like United.
08:41What's new with them?
08:43Well, yesterday,
08:45a United Airlines plane
08:46struck a bakery truck
08:47on the New Jersey turnpike.
08:49I know that sounds bad,
08:51but trust me,
08:51it looks so much worse.
08:54I'm gonna show you
08:55the dash cam footage
08:56of the bakery truck,
08:58but first,
08:58I just wanna stress,
08:59everyone's okay.
09:00Which is surprising,
09:02because check this out.
09:03Dash cam footage
09:04shows the moment
09:05a truck is struck.
09:08As the United Airlines flight
09:10approached Newark Liberty
09:11International Airport
09:12Sunday afternoon.
09:13If you look closely,
09:14you can see
09:15what appears to be
09:16the wheel of the plane
09:17out the driver's window.
09:19Okay, that is...
09:20I know that is shocking,
09:21but don't forget,
09:21this accident was predicted
09:2325 years ago
09:24by the opening
09:25of The Sopranos.
09:32Thankfully,
09:34thankfully,
09:34neither the driver
09:35or anyone on the plane
09:37was hurt,
09:37and investigators
09:38are still trying to figure out
09:39what happened,
09:40but I think I found a clue.
09:41It turns out,
09:42this flight was arriving
09:43from Italy's Marco Polo Airport.
09:48Well, there's your answer.
09:50Okay, okay, Tower.
09:52Okay, Tower.
09:53Tower, we are coming in
09:54for landing.
09:55I'm just gonna
09:56put on my blindfold.
10:00Marco?
10:03Marco, please respond, Polo.
10:05Mmm, I smell dinner rolls.
10:11Well, Spirit Airlines
10:13isn't the only iconic company
10:14we lost this weekend,
10:16because after nearly 30 years
10:17of service,
10:18Ask Jeeves has shut down.
10:22If you're unfamiliar
10:23with Ask Jeeves,
10:24which went on
10:24to become Ask.com,
10:26it was an internet search engine
10:27originally depicted
10:28as a snooty British butler
10:30who was later 3D rendered
10:32and rebranded,
10:33apparently,
10:34as a pervert
10:34who liked to watch.
10:38In a statement,
10:40in a statement,
10:41Jeeves' parent company said,
10:42To you,
10:43the millions of users
10:44who turn to us
10:45for answers
10:46in a rapidly changing world,
10:48thank you for your
10:49endless curiosity,
10:50your loyalty,
10:51and your trust.
10:52Well, thanks a lot, Jeeves.
10:54That's what I was going to say
10:55on my last show.
10:57We've got a great show
10:58for you tonight.
11:00My guests are Christopher Nolan
11:02and Dave Grohl,
11:03but when we come back,
11:05we'll check in
11:06on some of my favorite puppies.
11:08Enjoy this morning, sir.
11:31Hey, everybody.
11:33Welcome back.
11:34Give it up for Louis Cato
11:36and the Great Big Joy Machine.
11:39Hey!
11:42Folks,
11:43it's time I finally came clean
11:45on a controversial issue.
11:47I love dogs.
11:48And I don't care who knows.
11:51Cancel me.
11:52In fact,
11:53I love dogs so much,
11:54I've done a long-running segment
11:56on the show
11:56called Rescue Dog Rescue
11:58where we help find homes
11:59for real rescue dogs
12:00by having a celebrity guest
12:02join me to tell flattering lies
12:04about the dogs
12:05to make them
12:05even that much more attractive.
12:07And I'm proud to say
12:09that every dog we have feature
12:10has been adopted.
12:12But...
12:14Come on.
12:16But...
12:18Now...
12:19Now with the show
12:20coming to an end,
12:22I've been wondering
12:22what exactly happened
12:23to all those dogs?
12:25Well, it turns out
12:26they're living good lives
12:27with nice people
12:28who took them in.
12:29Which is boring.
12:30So...
12:31After years of lying about dogs
12:33to find them a home,
12:34I think it's time
12:34to lie to you
12:35one last time
12:36about where those
12:37actual dogs are today.
12:40This is Rescue Dog Rescue.
12:42Where arf they now?
12:51Over the past decade,
12:53this segment has found
12:54loving homes
12:55for so many adorable mutts
12:57from Luna
12:57to Denise
12:59to Nick Offerman.
13:01Don't forget to spay
13:02and or neuter your Nick.
13:05So let's catch up
13:06on what some of these
13:07lovable puppies
13:08have been up to.
13:09First up is Nugget.
13:10After appearing on the show,
13:12he earned his master's
13:13and black belt in karate.
13:16You gotta respect
13:17his work ethic
13:18because if you don't,
13:19he'll do this to your face.
13:22Then there was Biscuit.
13:23She was on the show
13:24with Seth Rogen.
13:25Biscuit moved to Connecticut
13:26with her new family
13:27where she took up gardening.
13:29She's been called
13:30the Martha Steward of Dogs
13:31because she also went to prison
13:33for insider trading.
13:35Then there was the dog
13:37we refer to as name redacted.
13:39Mark Hamill explained why.
13:41I'd love to tell you
13:42his real name,
13:42but he's in witness protection
13:44after testifying
13:45against a murderous drug dealer.
13:48Well, after seeing that episode,
13:49the cartel found her.
13:51And in order to save
13:52her own life,
13:53she had to, let's say,
13:55respond with extreme prejudice.
13:57She now runs
13:58the largest cocaine operation
14:00on the eastern seaboard.
14:01Who's a bad girl?
14:03You are!
14:04Yes, you are!
14:06And, of course, Laura.
14:08She was on the show
14:10alongside Dua Lipa.
14:11Dua Lipa encouraged Laura
14:13to try acting,
14:14and now Laura is living out
14:15her dream,
14:16playing Simba
14:17in the touring company
14:18of The Lion King.
14:20Reviewers raved,
14:21I think one of the actors
14:22was a dog.
14:23And Hakuna Matoto?
14:25And when I went,
14:27Simba kept humping Pumbaa.
14:30Then there was Midge.
14:31Midge appeared
14:32with Ryan Reynolds.
14:34Today, Midge runs
14:35her own tattoo parlor,
14:36and her work is
14:38really something.
14:40It can be a little messy,
14:41but no one could be mad at Midge
14:43because she's too cute.
14:45Also, she makes her clients
14:46sign a waiver.
14:48This is Bartleby.
14:50His appearance proved
14:51to be so captivating
14:52that he is now the subject
14:53of a new documentary
14:54by acclaimed filmmaker
14:56Werner Herzog.
14:57Behold, the animal
15:00known as Bartleby.
15:02By day, he protects
15:04his owners
15:05by screaming at squirrels.
15:08By night, he frees
15:10his mind
15:12by drinking
15:13from the toilet
15:14of madness.
15:16This is Baxter.
15:18In 2024,
15:19he was held
15:20by people's
15:21sexiest man alive,
15:22Chris Evans.
15:23And today?
15:24Well, these days,
15:25Baxter spends most
15:26of his time
15:27just sitting around
15:28thinking about that moment.
15:29Because, honestly,
15:31wouldn't you?
15:33Then there was Dakota,
15:34who was on the show
15:35with Daniel Radcliffe.
15:36Well, that night,
15:38after the show,
15:38there was an incident
15:39with an electrical
15:40transformer backstage,
15:41and the two ended up
15:43switching bodies.
15:45Please, help me.
15:46It's Daniel Radcliffe.
15:48I'm trapped in here,
15:48and I don't know
15:49where my body is.
15:50Anybody?
15:51Help!
15:55Oh, crap!
15:58Finally, there was Norbert.
16:00Norbert was the only dog
16:01to appear on the show
16:02three times.
16:04Unfortunately,
16:05during that time,
16:05Norbert stole
16:06about $40 million
16:07from the Late Show budget
16:09and won't tell anyone
16:10where he buried it.
16:12Well, that does it
16:13for Rescue Dog Rescue.
16:14I'm happy to say
16:15we were able to find homes
16:16for absolutely every dog
16:18that we presented
16:18for adoption.
16:20Bye-bye, my furry friends,
16:21and thanks for only
16:22occasionally peeing on me.
16:25I want to thank
16:26North Shore Animal League
16:27America.
16:28Go check them out.
16:30Thanks to all the stars
16:31who helped out
16:32with Rescue Dog Rescue.
16:34And, of course,
16:34thanks to the dogs.
16:36We couldn't have done it
16:37without you.
16:37It would have made
16:38absolutely no sense.
16:40We'll be right back
16:41with Christopher Nolan.
17:03Hey, welcome back, everybody.
17:05Ladies and gentlemen,
17:07my first guest tonight
17:09is the Oscar-winning producer,
17:11writer, and director
17:12of such films
17:13as The Dark Knight,
17:14Dunkirk,
17:15and Oppenheimer.
17:16Please welcome back
17:17to the Late Show
17:18Christopher Nolan.
17:36Yes.
17:37Yes.
17:41Nice to see you again.
17:43Uh, nice to be back here.
17:44Last time we spoke
17:45was at Princeton
17:46at the Institute
17:47for Advanced Studies
17:48in Einstein's office.
17:50Yes.
17:50And here we are
17:51in the Ed Sullivan.
17:52Do you want to compare
17:53the vibes?
17:55I mean,
17:56the intellect is still here.
17:58You feel the waves
17:59of history coming off
18:00the walls.
18:01Sure, sure.
18:01It's a slightly
18:01different way.
18:02But, no,
18:03that was a fun time.
18:04That was a really cool thing
18:05to be able to be there
18:06in Einstein's office
18:07talking about everything.
18:08Yeah, unbelievable.
18:09We took the Colbert bump
18:10right the way
18:11to the Oscars.
18:11You're welcome.
18:12Thank you very much
18:12for that.
18:13You're welcome.
18:13Anytime.
18:16There you go.
18:17Cheers.
18:18Cheers.
18:18Cheers.
18:19There you go.
18:20Okay, Oppenheimer,
18:21as you said,
18:21won seven Academy Awards,
18:22including Best Picture
18:24and Best Director.
18:25You chose to follow it up
18:26with just a small,
18:28not showy story.
18:30Yes.
18:32Just the bedrock
18:33of Western literature.
18:35The Story of Stories,
18:37The Odyssey.
18:39What was it about...
18:43I assume you're also
18:44a fan of the Iliad,
18:45but what is it about Homer?
18:47Why did you want to tackle
18:48this particular story?
18:50I mean,
18:50you're always looking
18:51for something
18:52that hasn't been done before.
18:53And Greek mythology,
18:55even though so many of us
18:56are familiar with it,
18:57you know,
18:58from when we're kids
18:59and the way in which
19:00it's the underpinnings
19:01of all stories,
19:02as you say,
19:03in Western literature.
19:04But it hadn't really
19:05been done on a big scale.
19:07I mean,
19:07I grew up with movies
19:08by greats like
19:10Ray Harryhausen,
19:11Clash of the Titans,
19:12things like that.
19:12But it hadn't really
19:13been done
19:13at a kind of
19:14a budget,
19:15big studio,
19:17you know,
19:17throw everything
19:17at the screen
19:18and see what sticks
19:19kind of way.
19:21And that's the kind
19:21of gap you're looking
19:22for as a filmmaker.
19:23It's like,
19:23how can we get in there
19:24and really try
19:26and bring something
19:26new for audiences?
19:27It's just one of the
19:28great adventure stories
19:29and I really wanted
19:31to see it done justice.
19:32So we just sort of dove in.
19:34And the story itself
19:35has,
19:36and the Iliad,
19:37have such depth
19:40behind them
19:40and implied depth.
19:42Basically,
19:42the Greek myths
19:43are all paying off
19:43in the Iliad
19:44and the Odyssey.
19:45A lot of scores
19:45are being settled
19:46between the gods
19:46with each other.
19:47And I know you don't
19:48want to give anything
19:49away about the film,
19:50but are there gods in it?
19:52Is there any
19:53of the supernatural?
19:54Because Troy,
19:55Troy,
19:55like the movie Troy,
19:56it had none
19:57of the gods in it.
19:58Do you have any
19:58of the gods in it?
20:00I don't really
20:00want to give anything
20:01away.
20:02I mean,
20:03I know it's weird
20:04to talk about spoilers
20:05on a 3,000-year-old
20:06piece of literature,
20:07but a lot of,
20:09but a lot of the way
20:11as you,
20:11as you...
20:12Your New Testament,
20:13has it got that
20:13Jesus guy in it?
20:14You got that
20:14Jesus guy in your New Testament?
20:16Okay,
20:16Matt Damon
20:17plays the title character
20:19Odysseus.
20:20You've worked with him
20:20before in Interstellar,
20:22Oppenheimer,
20:23and those are both
20:24great roles,
20:25but supporting roles
20:26in that.
20:27Why'd you risk one
20:28on Damon?
20:29Why did you...
20:30Yes, he's talented.
20:31Yes, he's handsome.
20:32Yes, he's intelligent,
20:33but...
20:34We tried him out
20:34a couple of times.
20:35Okay, yeah.
20:36You know,
20:37just to see
20:38and everything.
20:39And, no,
20:39I mean, look,
20:40the great thing
20:41about working
20:41with people
20:43who are just
20:43incredibly good
20:44at what they do,
20:44like Matt,
20:45is just one
20:46of the greats.
20:47I got to do
20:48a couple movies
20:49with him
20:49and then I got
20:51really that thrill
20:52of being able
20:52to call him up
20:53and say,
20:54how about Odysseus?
20:55And, you know,
20:56it's a one-word pitch.
20:57It's right there.
20:58And I warned him.
20:59I said,
21:00it's going to be very hard.
21:01And he's like,
21:02yeah, I know,
21:02I know, I know.
21:03I said,
21:03no, it's going to be
21:05very hard.
21:06He says it's the hardest
21:07film he's ever made.
21:08I think for all of us
21:10it was an incredibly
21:11challenging movie
21:12in all the right ways.
21:13I mean,
21:13I like to say
21:13it was a nightmare
21:14in all the right ways.
21:16It's just,
21:16it's a lot to take on.
21:18It's the Odyssey.
21:19It's the greatest epic
21:21in literature.
21:22And so,
21:23it should be difficult.
21:25We did want to get out there
21:26and really try
21:26and do a lot of these
21:27things for real,
21:28really get out there
21:29on the seas,
21:30climb the mountains,
21:31go in the caves,
21:32all of that.
21:32You got all the gods
21:33to deal with.
21:34Oh, here you go.
21:35Here you go.
21:38In one way or another,
21:39there's a certain
21:40odds towards that.
21:42Would you be comfortable
21:43in revealing
21:44whether you shot
21:44this film in order,
21:46like in order
21:47of the story?
21:48Would you be,
21:48would you tell us that?
21:50Well,
21:50the story's written
21:51in a nonlinear way.
21:52It's the original
21:53kind of nonlinear narrative.
21:54You start,
21:56you know,
21:56kind of halfway
21:56through the story.
21:57He's telling a lot
21:58of the story to,
21:59like,
22:00in the Nausicaa's
22:00father's palace
22:01or something like that.
22:02Well,
22:02what we're jumping off
22:04from is the Ithacus.
22:05We start in Ithaca.
22:06We start with
22:07the Song of Odysseus.
22:09We start with this story.
22:10Everyone is sitting there
22:11going,
22:11okay,
22:12we know the Trojan War
22:13ended 10 years ago.
22:15Where is he?
22:16He hasn't come back.
22:17He left 20 years ago.
22:18And things are not
22:19altogether wonderful
22:20in his kingdom.
22:21Because Penelope's
22:22having to put off
22:22all these suitors
22:23who want to be
22:24the new king.
22:25Exactly.
22:25So Penelope's
22:26played by Anne Hathaway,
22:27who I've also worked
22:28with a couple times before.
22:32Did you catch that
22:33Devil Wears Prada movie?
22:34I watched it last night.
22:35It was fabulous.
22:37Yeah, fantastic.
22:37With Emily Blunt as well
22:38and everything.
22:39Yeah, terrific.
22:40And her son is played
22:42by Tom Holland,
22:43who's also amazing.
22:45Who I've not worked with
22:47before,
22:47but would love to work with again.
22:49I mean,
22:49he's just an incredible talent,
22:51as everybody else but me knew
22:52before I sort of got into it
22:54with him.
22:54But he's so,
22:55so great.
22:57And they're,
22:57you know,
22:58holding the fort in Ithaca,
22:59fending off the suitors,
23:01the lead suitors,
23:02played by Rob Pattinson,
23:03who I've also worked with before.
23:07And, yeah,
23:08so it really is a story
23:09about ultimately
23:11about homecoming,
23:12about can he get home?
23:13She was Catwoman.
23:14He was Spider-Man.
23:15He was the Batman.
23:17Like, if...
23:18And we have Jason Bourne as well.
23:19Oh, yeah.
23:20And Jason Bourne.
23:21Would we,
23:22like,
23:22are superheroes
23:23directly related
23:24to these sort of Greek heroes?
23:26Very directly.
23:27No, they are.
23:27I mean,
23:28they're the original,
23:29the original superheroes.
23:31And a lot of,
23:32I mean,
23:32even comic book culture,
23:33whether you're talking about
23:34Marvel or DC or all the rest,
23:35a lot of it comes pretty directly
23:37from the Homeric epics.
23:39And the thing about Homer is
23:40nobody knows
23:42if that was a person.
23:43You know,
23:44they don't know.
23:44I mean,
23:44Homer, in a way,
23:45is the sort of
23:46George Lucas,
23:47maybe,
23:48of his time.
23:49I mean,
23:49nobody really knows
23:50who this person was
23:50or whether it was
23:51more than one person.
23:52We don't even know
23:53if Homer was Homer's name.
23:54Exactly.
23:55After all,
23:56Ovid was Ovid's middle name,
23:58so you never can tell.
23:59Oh, there you go.
23:59You're pulling rank again.
24:00But that's...
24:01Yes.
24:03I don't have to tell you.
24:04Oh, man,
24:05you don't have to tell me
24:06because I wouldn't know
24:06what the hell you were saying.
24:07But...
24:09Uh-huh.
24:10I...
24:11Absolutely.
24:12I mean,
24:12the thing about Homer is,
24:14yeah,
24:14it's the marvel of its day.
24:16I mean,
24:16that's the thing.
24:17And so,
24:17I think there's very directly
24:20this desire
24:21for us to feel
24:22or believe
24:22that gods
24:23could walk amongst us.
24:24And I think
24:25the modern comic book
24:26is kind of
24:27our expression of that.
24:29we have an unusual treat.
24:31Christopher Nolan
24:31and our friends
24:33at Universal,
24:33hello, Universal,
24:35have brought us
24:36a brand new trailer.
24:37No one's seen this, right?
24:39No.
24:39Okay,
24:39for The Odyssey.
24:41Absolutely not.
24:42So...
24:46We're gonna roll this
24:47for you
24:48and for the people
24:48at home.
24:49And don't go anywhere
24:50because we'll be right back
24:51right after this is over
24:52with more Christopher Nolan.
24:54Anything we need
24:55to set up here?
24:55Not if I've done
24:56my job right.
25:00Let's find out.
25:06Ivan.
25:19Tell me what you remember.
25:24A wife?
25:29A son.
25:33And then what?
25:37We won the war.
25:45Help me go home.
25:51This is a household
25:52waiting for Master.
25:57I want you to choose me.
26:01I think his king
26:02is coming back.
26:03No, he's not.
26:10What would he do
26:11if he came back here
26:12and find all these suitors
26:13in his house?
26:16You're pining me for a daddy
26:18you didn't even know.
26:19Like some sniffling pastor.
26:23Who's looking after
26:25your wife and son?
26:27Do you see?
26:28My dad is coming home.
26:31Bringing vengeance.
26:35Bringing it all.
26:37Let's go!
26:51I need everyone in this party
26:52dead.
26:55I can still save them.
26:59You're a man who needs
27:01to control his fate.
27:04But you cannot control this.
27:07That world is gone.
27:13No one could stand
27:14between me
27:15and home.
27:19I need the beguards.
27:22Keep us straight!
27:31I think it's asleep.
27:33I think it's asleep.
27:53It appears you did your job right.
27:57Now, an unbelievable cast.
27:59Besides Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson,
28:03Charlize Theron, John Leguizamo, who haven't we seen?
28:07Anybody you want to tell us about that's not in that?
28:09We haven't seen Lupita Nyong'o, and we haven't seen Zendaya.
28:15Corey Hawkins, just a ton of other talent.
28:19I mean, it's an incredible cast, and they all...
28:22They just worked so hard for the movie
28:25and really delivered the goods for me.
28:27I mean, it really was a thrill to work with them all.
28:29I think I caught a glimpse of fur in there.
28:32Uh-huh.
28:33Is that Odysseus' dog, Argos?
28:35It is indeed.
28:36Wow.
28:36It is indeed, which...
28:37Wow, which is one of the greatest moments in the whole story.
28:40I...
28:40No spoilers.
28:41No spoilers.
28:43No spoilers.
28:44But, yes, it is one of the greatest moments in the story.
28:47It's really one of the things that hooked me.
28:49I'm a new dog owner.
28:51Oh, really?
28:51It came on.
28:52That's nice.
28:52Yes.
28:55Like, new to dogs?
28:56New to dogs.
28:56Or a new dog?
28:57I'd never had a dog growing up.
28:58Oh, really?
28:59I didn't have a dog when my kids were young.
29:01We denied that.
29:02And then as soon as they left for college, we got a dog.
29:06And then I thought...
29:07How do they feel about that?
29:07They were a little bitter, but...
29:10But they love the dog, too, when they get to visit.
29:14And I decided to do The Odyssey,
29:16because it is the ultimate...
29:17It's the ultimate dog story.
29:19The film was shot entirely...
29:21It's the first film shot entirely on IMAX cameras.
29:24Yes.
29:24Okay, what does that mean to you as a director?
29:26Why...
29:27A, why did you want to do that,
29:28and what are the challenges of that?
29:29I fell in love with IMAX film when I was about 16,
29:33going to films at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago,
29:38like documentaries that were shot on IMAX.
29:39And I always felt like,
29:41what if you told a giant Hollywood story in this format?
29:45So on The Dark Knight, I convinced the studio,
29:47I convinced IMAX to let us try and do our action sequences,
29:51which we did, just the action scenes on IMAX.
29:55And then over the years,
29:56I've tried to use the format kind of more and more,
29:59you know, things like Interstellar and Oppenheim and everything.
30:01We've tried to do more and more of the film.
30:03But what I always wanted to do
30:04was do the entire movie that way.
30:06Couldn't do it because the cameras are so noisy.
30:09As the software solutions,
30:11sort of filtering out camera noise, got better,
30:13I did tests with some of the stuff
30:14that shot with Killian on Oppenheim,
30:16where the IMAX camera's very close,
30:18and he's speaking, and we had ADR'd it.
30:20And I could uncover his original dialogue,
30:23but he was shouting over the camera.
30:25So it was the wrong performance.
30:27And that's the problem,
30:29what we needed was a way to get a camera,
30:31get an IMAX camera,
30:32that you could actually shoot the dialogue.
30:34It could be as close as we are,
30:36and you could perform in front of it.
30:37And so we challenged IMAX to do that.
30:40We said, we're doing the Odyssey.
30:41This is the story.
30:43If ever there were a story
30:44where you want to do the whole thing on IMAX,
30:45this is it.
30:46So can you find a way
30:47to build an enclosure for the camera?
30:49You know, they build us new cameras.
30:51They build us this box
30:52that you put the camera in.
30:53I mean, it's giant.
30:54It weighs about 400 pounds,
30:55but it silenced the camera.
30:58So we could, you know,
31:00do very intimate scenes.
31:01It's a new type of camera.
31:02This was shot on.
31:03Brand new camera.
31:03Is this called the Nolan now?
31:06It is not.
31:08Actually, it's called the Keeley,
31:09and it's named after my friend David Keeley,
31:12who sadly passed just as we were finishing the dailies
31:17on this film before we edited it.
31:18And he had been my IMAX mentor for,
31:20you know, almost 20 years.
31:22And he's the guy who made so much
31:25of what we've done possible.
31:26And I'm proud to say that he,
31:28before he passed,
31:29he was able to finish approving
31:30all of our last dailies and printing those.
31:33And we miss him greatly,
31:34but I'm thrilled.
31:36Yep.
31:43I'm absolutely thrilled
31:44that he's memorialized
31:46in the name of this brand new camera,
31:47which is, it's, I mean,
31:49IMAX film is the highest quality imaging format
31:52that's ever been built.
31:53Well, Christopher,
31:54thanks so much for being here.
31:55Always a pleasure to talk.
31:57The Odyssey will be on theaters
31:59on July 17th.
32:01Christopher Nolan, everybody.
32:03We'll be right back with Dave Grohl.
32:19Welcome back.
32:20Safe.
32:23My next guest is a 19-time Grammy Award-winning
32:27Rock and Roll Hall of Famer
32:28from Foo Fighters and Nirvana.
32:30Please welcome back to The Late Show,
32:31Dave Grohl.
32:54Nice to see you again.
32:55Hey, man.
32:55How you been?
32:57We're good.
32:58Foo Fighters have been together
33:01for 31 years.
33:02That's true.
33:03Okay.
33:05Was there a specific moment
33:07when you knew you were ready
33:10to start a new band after Nirvana?
33:13Well, yes, there actually was.
33:15There was, when Nirvana ended,
33:18I wasn't sure what to do.
33:20I didn't know if I wanted
33:21to continue playing music.
33:24It made me sad to think
33:26of playing in another band.
33:30Losing Nirvana, losing Kurt,
33:31was a really, really dark,
33:35emotional experience.
33:36And so I thought, you know,
33:38I just need to get my head together.
33:39And I rented a car
33:41and drove around the Ring of Carrie
33:44in Ireland.
33:45And I was out, it's so gorgeous,
33:47one of the most beautiful places
33:48in the world.
33:49I was driving on this country road
33:51and there were, like, sheep
33:52and it was a great day
33:54and then the green rolling hills.
33:56And all I wanted to do
33:58was disappear.
33:59And as I was driving down
34:02this country road,
34:03I see a hitchhiker
34:06and he had a Kurt Cobain T-shirt on.
34:11And to me, I thought,
34:13okay, this is the universe.
34:15Telling me,
34:16you have to continue.
34:18Like, you have to move on,
34:19you have to go forward.
34:20Music has always been
34:21the love of my life.
34:23It's helped me through
34:24some of my most difficult moments.
34:27And when I saw the kid
34:29with the Kurt Cobain T-shirt,
34:31I thought, okay,
34:33I need to keep going.
34:35I have so much reverence
34:37and respect for the past,
34:39but I need to have a future.
34:41And that's kind of where it began.
34:42Well...
34:46Last year...
34:49Last year, Nirvana reunited
34:50for two performances,
34:52Fire Aid,
34:52Fire Aid Benefit in LA
34:53and SNL 50.
34:55Yeah.
34:56You guys don't do that very often.
34:59No.
34:59What is it like
35:00when y'all get together
35:01to, you know,
35:03breathe life back
35:04into those songs?
35:05Well, again, you know,
35:06I think sometimes
35:07when people think of bands,
35:08they just think of instruments
35:09and songs and stuff.
35:11But it really is,
35:12it's this connection of people
35:14and life experience
35:15and relationships,
35:17you know,
35:17with other human beings.
35:19And then you put on guitars
35:20and play music,
35:21and that translates.
35:23Your love and respect
35:24and the relationship
35:25you have with the other person
35:26really comes through the music.
35:27So with Nirvana,
35:28it's like, oh, my God,
35:29we went through
35:30some crazy stuff.
35:33And so when we get together
35:35to play,
35:35it's a really,
35:36it's a wild experience
35:38because when it's me
35:39and Chris Novoselic
35:41and Pat Smear,
35:42when we sit down
35:43and, like,
35:44start into
35:45Smells Like Teen Spirit
35:46in a small room,
35:47it's like, dude,
35:49it's, it's,
35:49nobody else makes that noise.
35:51It sounds like
35:52Smells Like Teen Spirit.
35:53And you're just like,
35:55and we don't do it often.
35:57And so when it does come around,
35:59it's like a comet.
36:00It's like this comet
36:01is coming back around
36:01and you see it street by
36:02and it's like,
36:03and then it's just like,
36:06you know, it's great.
36:08Well,
36:10Foo Fighters have a new album,
36:12Your Favorite Toy,
36:13the band's 12th studio album.
36:15How'd you land on the name
36:16of this album,
36:17Your Favorite Toy?
36:18You know, it's funny,
36:18there's a song
36:20that's called
36:21Your Favorite Toy,
36:22but when I first wrote it,
36:24it was called For Good.
36:26And there's a line that says,
36:29get back here,
36:30that boy,
36:31someone threw away
36:32your favorite toy for good.
36:34And I'm like,
36:34wow, okay, For Good,
36:35that's such a great name
36:37that has up on it.
36:38And like a week later,
36:39I see the Wicked movie
36:40comes out,
36:41I'm like,
36:41man, what the,
36:43damn.
36:44Yeah.
36:45Took it.
36:46Yeah,
36:46you could have surfed
36:47that wave, though.
36:47You could have gotten
36:48right in on that,
36:49that Wicked,
36:50that Wicked audience.
36:50I feel like people
36:51would have bought this
36:52thinking it was that
36:53or bought that
36:54thinking it was this.
36:54It would just be
36:55kind of a mess.
36:55That's true, exactly.
36:57Foo Fighters on tour
36:59this summer.
36:59It's been 40 years
37:00since little you
37:01went out on tour.
37:03Because you were a teenager.
37:04Yeah.
37:04The first time,
37:05little you went on tour
37:06for the first time.
37:07Is it more enjoyable
37:09now that you're
37:10not couch surfing?
37:12Big time.
37:14No, I mean,
37:15as I said earlier,
37:16you know,
37:16it's those early years
37:17and those early experiences.
37:19But room service.
37:19Like when I was here
37:20with my mom.
37:21Oh, yeah.
37:22That was wonderful
37:22to meet your mom.
37:23My mother wrote a book
37:24years ago,
37:25and she and I
37:27sat on the couch
37:28and did an interview
37:30here at the studio.
37:32And, you know,
37:35my mother was
37:37such an incredible person.
37:39She was a public school
37:40teacher for 35 years.
37:42She was...
37:45And she was...
37:47She was such a brilliant,
37:49kind, compassionate,
37:51empathetic, altruistic,
37:53funny, charming, sweet,
37:56just the coolest...
37:57The coolest person
37:58I've ever met in my life.
38:00She was a teacher
38:01at my high school.
38:03And I wasn't good
38:04at high school.
38:06I wasn't good
38:07at elementary school
38:07either, actually.
38:08We brought my report cards
38:10when we were here.
38:10Anyway, but she was so cool
38:12that she realized
38:15I was just terrible
38:16at school.
38:18She also realized
38:19I wasn't, like,
38:20a complete...
38:24I'm not going to say
38:24the word, but she...
38:27She understood, like,
38:28okay, there's something
38:28you'll be able
38:29to figure your life out.
38:30She thought...
38:31She had faith in me
38:32that I could do that.
38:32So I left to go on tour
38:34when I was 17 years old,
38:35and it was basically
38:36me asking my mother,
38:39hey, I have an opportunity
38:40to tour the world.
38:42I want to leave school.
38:44And she said,
38:45you should go do that.
38:46Because you suck
38:47at school.
38:49And here we are.
38:5040 years later.
38:52Well, congratulations
38:53on finding the thing
38:54you don't suck at.

39:16Ladies and gentlemen,

39:31This is just a chance
39:33of a broken broadcast system.
39:38This is an evaluation

39:41of my own installation
39:43But this is not a chance

40:00The ECHO
40:02of my own installation
40:12I've got a touch on the echo
