Holland: 'Odyssey' Set Felt Like Time Travel
8 Jul
Summary
- Holland described the massive film set as a re-enactment.
- He felt isolated on the beach, comparing it to landing alone.
- Holland accepted the role before reading the script.
Actor Tom Holland recounted an astonishing experience while filming Sir Christopher Nolan's epic fantasy 'The Odyssey.' He described the immense scale of the production, particularly a scene shot on a beach in Morocco.
Holland felt like he had stepped back in time, encountering thousands of background actors, the Trojan horse, and fires, but no visible crew. This isolation made the experience feel more like a historical re-enactment than a typical film set.
The star, who is married to co-star Zendaya, admitted the sheer scale of the production initially scared him. He also revealed that he committed to a role in 'The Odyssey' solely based on an offer, even before seeing the script.
