Nolan Archives

Elliot Page is expected to play Elpenor, the youngest crew member on Odysseus’ ship in THE ODYSSEY, not Achilles.

Who is playing Achilles in The Odyssey? Christopher Nolan is famous for keeping his films—including the roles his actors are playing—top secret until the day they hit theaters. One of the actors who joined Nolan’s The Odyssey at the very last minute was Logan Marshall-Green, who replaced Cosmo Jarvis. The trailers haven’t shown Marshall-Green at all, and his images aren’t included in any of the promotional material—even if he’s playing a small role or appears on screen for only a short time. There are a lot of possibilities, so take this as a big “what-if” scenario… because it’s entirely possible that Marshall-Green could be playing Achilles.

He filmed near my town. Bro literally filmed in Greece and then filtered the shit out of it so he can make the Mediterranean look like a Scottish bog . He went out of his way to take the warmth and color out of the landscape.

The Trojan horse sequence in Troy (2004) cost 8 million dollars to build. Wolfgang Petersen had two life size horses constructed for the production, one for exterior shots and one for the interior cavity scenes. Both were 12 meters tall.

One other thought on this whole Odyssey thing. (And I'm honestly not even someone who's super stoked for this movie anymore, so I'm truly not being some sort of apologist) But one of the critiques is the lack of color and warmth , but ya'll know that the movie was shot during the winter, right? You can't shoot movies over multiple seasons, so if you're going for a perilous, decade-long journey full of obstacles and storms and adversaries, would you choose a warm and inviting look or a dark and disheartening look?
