Tom Holland Said Christopher Nolan’s Next Epic The Odyssey “an absolute masterpiece.”
In a recent interview with GQ, Tom Holland praised Christopher Nolan’s upcoming epic. The Odysseydescribing it as “unlike anything I’ve ever seen before.”
Holland explained that Nolan’s reliance on in-camera practical effects rather than CGI left him stunned by the scale of the production.
“There are certain sequences in the movie where I look at him and I’m just like, ‘How the hell did he do that?’ It has to be CG,” Holland said.
“And then after the movie, he asked her, ‘That was definitely CG, wasn’t it?’ And he said, “No, no, no, it’s all camera effects.” » Very planned, very prepared.
Based on Homer’s legendary poem, The Odyssey stars Matt Damon as Odysseus, Anne Hathaway as Penelope, Holland as Telemachus, and Zendaya as Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war who guides Odysseus through his trials. The ensemble also includes Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o and Charlize Theron.
Holland said Nolan’s approach reminded him why audiences still crave the experience on the big screen.
He added: “I’m a real advocate for theater and cinema and the community experience of sitting in a dark room and being entertained. I think that’s something I’ll be very focused on for the next 10 years of my life.”
With a reported budget of $250 million and a release date of July 17, 2026, Nolan’s film is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious projects of the year.
More than a simple film, it is positioned as a cultural event: intended to remind the public of the eternal power of myth and the magic of theaters.
