Zendaya's Frozen Tongue in Iceland: Nolan's 'Odyssey' Challenge
6 Jul
Summary
- Zendaya struggled with freezing Iceland conditions on day one.
- Christopher Nolan called Zendaya's performance 'perfect'.
- Tom Holland initially feared Nolan disliked his acting due to IMAX camera.
Zendaya recounted a challenging first day of filming for Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" in Iceland, where sub-zero temperatures left her mouth frozen and unable to deliver her dialogue.
Despite this initial struggle, director Christopher Nolan later lauded Zendaya's performance as "perfect." He noted her "iconic" grace made her ideal for portraying the goddess Athena.
Fellow star Tom Holland also experienced a nerve-wracking start, initially believing Nolan disliked his acting. This anxiety stemmed from the director frequently cutting his takes, a practice later revealed to be due to the three-minute recording limit of IMAX cameras.
"The Odyssey" is scheduled to premiere in theaters on July 17 from Universal Pictures.
