I'll take this as a compliment
If Holland can play Nathan Drake, he can play anyone.
Can he play in midfield tomorrow against Spurs?
Mia Goth will probably end up being Athena.
She'd better suited to being the one crazy woman who tries to force Ulysses to stay with her, can't remember what she's called.
Holland played Holland pretending to be Nathan Drake. All he ever does is play Holland. And like the real Holland he isn't very tall and is wooden as feck.
Calypso
Probably not cause he's a Spurs supporter.
More of a 99 man myself.
Matt Damon as Odysseus, so at least it's not Holland.
My favourite comment on the Reddit post about this photo.
“fackin cyclahps came at me so i took his facken eye out”
Holland probably plays him when he was a child.
I can't take him remotely seriously. He was so badly miscast in The Last Duel. Feel like Nolan's going to butcher this.
Has Nolan ever "butchered" a film?
Yes, Tenet was horrific.
The casting of Hathaway and Damon in Interstellar were also poor decisions that hurt the film. I think Damon is very wooden in certain roles.
Seconded. I tried, I really tried, to like this movie. Some tricky movies with plot twists get better on second viewing. Not this one.
To whoe that said Nolan casted wrong actresses, it’s more like he gave them pretty bad, often cheesy material to work with. Marion Cotillard in TDKR is a prime example, if he’s not writing them as femme fatale or emotionally distraught figures, or a mix of both, then their role can usually be filled by a voice over.
Anne Hathaway in Interstellar made up for Anne Hathaway in whichever Batman movie she was in. Emily Blunt in Oppenheimer made up for Ellen Page in Inception. Nolan giveth and Nolan taketh away.
You thought she was good in Interstellar? Such a bland nothing performance and silly character to boot.
She’s my wife, dude, be cool!
I don't think there were cyclops either back then
How do you imagine he will make this interesting? A lot of people will know the story in advance, so unless he changes it up, there isn’t a lot to work with there.
Seems like an unusual project for Nolan to take on, but I expect he will have something up his sleeve so it doesn’t just resemble Troy 2.0.

It's like making a WW2 film but having helicopters. "Yeah, but helicopters are cool!".
Unfortunately there's been very few historical films that give a feck about historical accuracy. They don't care ultimately.

Or X-Men.
Waiting for Ben and Casey Affleck to be cast too.
And Brad Pitt. He already went to Troy once - he ll do it again.
I asked AI to write me a synopsis for this movie. Warning: spoilers ahead
:Title: Odyssey: Time’s Reckoning
Director: Christopher Nolan
Genre: Sci-Fi/War/Philosophical Thriller
Starring: Cillian Murphy as Odysseus, Tom Hardy as Poseidon, Anne Hathaway as Penelope, and Michael Caine as Tiresias (obviously).
In a world where time folds upon itself like the waves of an unforgiving sea, Odyssey: Time’s Reckoning tells the tale of Commander Odysseus, a decorated war hero whose mission to return home from the Trojan War Program spirals into an existential labyrinth of paradoxes, mind-bending physics, and brooding monologues about fate.
When Odysseus and his crew engage the enemy in the final battle of Troy, they unknowingly activate a chronospatial rift—a temporal anomaly that distorts their perception of time and sends them hurtling through the quantum fabric of reality. What should have been a ten-day voyage home turns into ten lifetimes of recursive suffering, as Poseidon, the vengeful deity of time and turbulence (played with inaudible menace by Tom Hardy), traps them in a shifting timeline where every attempt to return to Ithaca resets the cycle.
Odysseus, burdened by the knowledge that he exists in multiple iterations at once, must navigate a tessellation of fates, each encounter more confounding than the last:
- The Lotus-Eaters—a secret society that exists outside linear time, where forgetting the past means escaping the loop… at the cost of never returning home.
- The Sirens—an AI consciousness that sings equations so complex they fracture the minds of men, leaving them stranded in a Möbius strip of memory.
- The Cyclops—a singularity entity that collapses probability waves with every gaze, forcing Odysseus to blind it metaphorically (via a 45-minute speech on quantum mechanics).
- The Underworld—a literal black hole where the dead whisper cryptic warnings about entropy, regret, and the true nature of Penelope’s waiting game.
As the narrative folds into itself like a collapsing tesseract, Odysseus realizes the final truth: the only way to return is to never have left. But to achieve this, he must make an impossible choice—defy the gods of time and risk annihilating the past, or accept his fate and complete the cycle… forever.
With practical temporal effects, a Hans Zimmer score consisting entirely of deep oceanic pulses, and a runtime of four hours (but feels like 20 years), Odyssey: Time’s Reckoning is a mind-expanding journey where every answer only raises more questions.
Coming this fall. Or last fall. Or next fall. Depending on where you are in the timeline.

Back in Ithaca, Penelope (Anne Hathaway) lives in a world where time moves normally—except every few years, a different Odysseus arrives, each more broken than the last. She must decide whether to wait, fight, or unravel the mystery of the Telemachus Paradox, in which her son might have been the original architect of the journey itself.

thanks for this. It makes me forget that Trump is going to get us all killed before this movie comes out (if it hasn't already come out, which it has).They didn't have wing backs either
Memento through to the Prestige was a really good run. Dark Knight and Inception still decent. Everything becomes increasingly unwatchable from there.
He went from being a really dynamic filmmaker to becoming the most lumpen. Yeah sit with that.
And feck those everly receding horizonal runtimes.

Cheers. I read this 3 times (or tried to) before I realised it wasn't the actual synopsis.
I'm not as high on Nolan as some people but I'm a sucker for some ancient Greek mythology so count me in to see it on the big screen.
Don't think a lot of people will know the story at all. Not like it matters. Highest grossing film of its year was Lion King remake.
Maybe you are right, and I am overestimating peoples familiarity with Greek mythology. And I'm not worried about the box office at all - Nolan is enough of a draw to secure that. I just think it sounds more like a Ridley Scott project.
I can't believe that Nolan picked this for the soundtrack!
Makes sense for Nolan to make this film. All of his good films sort of follow this Odysseus storyline. Focus on this one person's hero journey. I am sceptical of Damon playing Odysseus but Nolan has worked with him and seen something in him so who am I to judge. If he turns out OK it won't ruin anything for me just like a great performance from an actor won't make a boring movie good. I care more about the story and entertainment than individual performances.
