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.
