Friend of the Show: Tom Holland Meets Tom Holland to Chat All Things The Odyssey
"I think it was the scope and scale of the story. You know, for anyone that's familiar with the Odyssey, you know, the kind of ancient text, turning it into a film feels like you'd have to make five films. You know, it's such a vast piece of work. But Chris's ability to to tell that story in 130 pages while maintaining the heart and the soul of what makes the story so exciting, so emotional, so relevant today, I think is just such a feat."
Actor Tom Holland describes Christopher Nolan's screenplay for his upcoming film adaptation of Homer's Odyssey as the best script he has ever read, praising Nolan's ability to condense the epic ancient text into 130 pages while preserving its emotional core. Holland, who plays Telemachus in the film, reveals this was his first time reading a Nolan script despite being a fan of the director's previous work. The film represents a major departure for both Holland and Nolan, tackling one of literature's most challenging texts.
