With just ten days to go for the release of Christopher Nolan's much-anticipated The Odyssey, the actors are currently on a promotional spree, sharing their experiences working with the acclaimed director and details on acting with IMAX cameras shooting the film. Actor Tom Holland, in a recent interview, said that he assumed Oscar-winning filmmaker Christopher Nolan didn't like his performance on the sets of the film.
The Spider-Man actor said he was working with IMAX cameras for the first time and didn't understand why the director would cut his shot every three minutes. "I thought I was totally s******g the bed during his first day on set with the director, who had to cut every three minutes due to the IMAX technology...Working with the IMAX cameras for the first time is an experience."
"It is unlike anything I have ever seen before, and I didn't know that it only ran for three minutes. So, I remember you would continue cutting, and I was with Jon (Bernthal) like, 'Why does he keep cutting? Why does he keep doing that," the actor told Fandango.
He further added, "And in my head, I was like, 'Does he not like what we're doing? What is happening?' And then, I remember it was actually (stunt coordinator) George Cottle that was like, 'No, no, no, no, no, there's only three minutes in the mag."
As reported earlier, The Odyssey chronicles Greek king Odysseus' long and ardous 10-year-long journey after the Trojan war to reunite with his wife Penelope (Anne Hathaway) and son Telemachus (Tom Holland).
The star-studded cast also includes Charlize Theron, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong'o, Robert Pattinson,Benny Safdie, John Leguizamo, Himesh Patel, Will Yun Lee, Mia Goth, Jimmy Gonzales, Elliot Page and Jovan Adepo, among many others.
Nolan regulars like Oscar winner Hoyte van Hoytema and Oscar Winner Ludwig Goransson are part of The Odyssey. The former is handling cinematography, while the latter is composing the music.
The Odyssey is releasing theatrically on July 17.
