The casting for Christopher Nolan's adaptation of The Odyssey is ABYSMAL. ABYSMAL. Like I have never seen such ChatGPT casting in all my days. Is Tom Holland going to be Telemachus? Zendaya as Circe? Lupita as Calypso and Charlice Theron as Athena? Anne as Penelope to Matt Damon's Odysseus???
I thought it was going to be the Odyssey as a metaphore as he uses in other work... but an Epic? Set in Ancient Times? Oh I don't trust it. I know he has an English Lit BA, from like Oxbridge ????? but those institutions are nothing but name and zero critical thinking skills and rigor. Like they barely look beyond their own borders and when they do is to study US literature... so mark me down as concern.
And Nolan that is well known to not be able to write or develop a female character if his life depended on it.... oh no. I need to know which translation he is basing this of.
#we were only missing Sydney Sweeney as the sirens#and Ben Affleck as Zeus#i cannot belive [redacted] mediocre stiff acting find its way to a Nolan film. They truly have no business getting the projects they get#nothing but star power and barely there acting.#they all look so American (derrogatory)#and yes Mat and Anne are fenomenal actors but like... they look too american#with their emotionless faces when Greek Literature is about rawness of emotion.#I will touch some grass#FeysandfeelsPost#Delete Later
