21 Jul
Summary
- Marshall-Green skipped Nolan audition due to L.A. wildfires.
- He accepted a last-minute role in 'The Odyssey' in Italy.
- Hathaway's focus and stamina impressed him on set.
Logan Marshall-Green nearly missed his chance to work with director Christopher Nolan due to the significant Los Angeles wildfires. He declined an in-person callback for Nolan's film, 'The Odyssey,' citing concerns over the dangerous conditions in California while he was in Charleston, South Carolina.
Months later, Marshall-Green received an unexpected offer to join 'The Odyssey' in Italy, filling a role vacated by another actor. He accepted this opportunity, travelling quickly to Favignana to portray Melanthius, a disloyal servant to Penelope. During filming, he was particularly impressed by Anne Hathaway's unwavering focus and stamina, especially during scenes where she was not visually present but still delivered lines.
The film, 'The Odyssey,' has achieved significant box office success, opening with $124.5 million domestically and $264 million globally. This strong debut positions it within the top 15 films worldwide, indicating a promising theatrical run.
