IMDB crew listing added an animal trainer, Michael Miliotti.

It specifically lists him as the trainer for "Argus". Argus (or sometimes spelled Argos) is Odysseus faithful dog that waits for him to return to Ithaca.
hah that’s great

Little spoiler, I guess
IMDB lists Kelley Flynn as "intimacy coordinator"

Which two characters does this intimacy involve? And does this mean possible "R" rating?
Oooo good find. That does seem to imply an r rating. After the success of Oppenheimer Nolan is probably far more comfortable playing in that territory. I am curious what this could mean when it comes to the battle scenes. I wonder how far he takes it. I'm not expecting full on blood and guts.

Odysseus with both Circe and Calypso.
Makes sense, I think after Oppenheimer he decided that it would be better for us to see it rather than just simply have it offscreen.
Hopefully it also gets across that Odysseus doesn't want to do it and is doing it very reluctantly rather than just being a standard sex scene.

The Odyssey will have miniatures unit that will film sequences.

Miniatures is an old-school technique that use scaled-down models to represent larger objects or environments, often in special effects shots. They are used to create an illusion of size and scale. Nolan famously used the technique in the car chase with the Tumbler in Dark Knight.

Good good. So that explains some of the work they were doing in LA last month. Also noticed "Creature Shop Supervisor"

"A Creature Shop Supervisor oversees the design and fabrication of creatures, puppets, and animatronics, often in a film or television production context."
