Tom Holland Feared Christopher Nolan Hated His First 'The Odyssey' Scene
Holland said Nolan paused every 3 minutes because of IMAX camera limits, which made him think the director disliked his first-day performance.
- On his first day filming The Odyssey, Tom Holland feared director Christopher Nolan disliked his performance after repeatedly calling 'cut' during scenes. Holland later realized the frequent interruptions stemmed from IMAX camera technical limitations.
- Stunt coordinator George Cottle clarified that IMAX film cameras require reloads every three minutes. Neither Holland nor co-star Jon Bernthal knew about this technical constraint before filming began.
- Premiering July 17, the film stars Matt Damon as Odysseus, Anne Hathaway as Penelope, and Holland as Telemachus. It marks the first production shot entirely using IMAX film cameras.
- Despite the initial nerves, Holland called the production 'the best experience' he has had on a film set. He praised director Nolan and producer Emma Thomas for their collaborative expertise.
- Holland asked Sony to delay filming Spider-Man: Brand New Day to join The Odyssey. The delay enabled director Destin Daniel Cretton to develop the script, improving the film.
