Christopher Nolan avoided CGI and used 7ft stuntmen to portray Laestrygonians in The Odyssey. The giant leader, King Antiphates, is portrayed by actor Josh Stewart, while Matt Damon’s stunt double is Devyn Dalton, who is just under 5ft.

The best thing about Christopher Nolan is that he never uses CGI or VFX but they’re always hundreds of CGI and VFX artists credited in his films so I guess he’s just paying them to sit and do nothing.
