Nolan's Set Rules: No Uggs, No Sitting!
18 Jul
Summary
- Director Chris Nolan enforces strict 'commandments' on set.
- Actors must adhere to rules like 'Thou shalt not wear Uggs.'
- The film 'The Odyssey' is a major box office success.
Director Chris Nolan's distinctive on-set 'commandments' for the recently released film 'The Odyssey' have been unveiled by stars Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway. During a recent interview, the actors shared some of Nolan's peculiar rules, which include directives such as 'Thou shalt work hard' and a notable prohibition: 'Thou shalt not wear Uggs.' Damon humorously speculated that Nolan dislikes Uggs as they symbolize leisure.
Further adding to the unconventional set environment, Nolan's rules dictate that "Thou shalt not sit down," as chairs are reportedly absent from the set. Hathaway also mentioned that while meals are provided, "lunch shall not linger." Actors are also forbidden from watching playback, as "there shall be none." These directives create a unique atmosphere on the set of the star-studded film.
'The Odyssey' boasts an impressive ensemble cast, with Matt Damon portraying Odysseus and Anne Hathaway as Penelope. The film has also seen considerable commercial success, generating $51 million on its opening day and projecting at least $120 million domestically and $250 million worldwide. This opening marks Nolan's best performance for a film outside of his 'Dark Knight' trilogy.
