Christopher Nolan says pre-release backclash about his casting choices in ‘THE ODYSSEY’ is "irrelevant" "Remember, I spent 10 years of my life dealing with Batman." (variety.com/2026/film/news…)
To think this was the Prime Minister of Canada 🤦♀️
In 2015, ISIS captured Palmyra and demanded its head of antiquities reveal where the treasures were hidden. He was 81 years old. He refused. Khaled al-Asaad had spent over 50 years excavating and protecting Palmyra, the caravan city that once rivalled Rome in the Syrian desert. He learned Aramaic to read its inscriptions. He raised his children among its ruins and named his daughter Zenobia, after its rebel queen. Before the city fell, he helped evacuate hundreds of artefacts to safety. ISIS interrogated him for weeks to find them. But he gave them nothing. They executed him in the square and left his body among the columns he had spent his life defending. Archaeology is not a soft profession. Sometimes the people who guard the past die for it.
Tom Holland explains why he says “Dad” instead of “Father” in ‘THE ODYSSEY’. “I wouldn't have said ‘Father’ back then anyway, it would've been in Greek.”
Christopher Nolan says his version of The Odyssey is for modern audiences: “When you look at the ancient world… there’s a lot of cultural prejudice….I want to make it feel very fresh for modern audiences.” Is this the final blow for the movie?
