I’m sure it will be by a lot of measures a good film or whatever bc it’s Nolan. But you have one of the oldest Western epics, filming on-site in Greece where it’s said to have occurred, and don’t have a single leading Greek actor? The diversity is on point, bc Ancient Greeks were historically very diverse so that’s dope. But really. Zendaya, Holland, Matt Damon? They’re just buzzwords atp and it takes you out of the story FUCK

I’ve been spoiled with Passion of the Christ and Apocalypto where they have area and era-appropriate actors and spoken languages, and now that’s what I want in these period piece movies, let alone an adaptation of The Odyssey.

Because studios demand recognizable actors. They want butts in theater seats and are scared of taking risks on unknown actors

common wisdom is that famous actors attract larger audiences and bring in more revenue. you can also see from his history that his films rarely cast unknown performers

I’ve gotta say it’s probably just studios unfortunately. A lot of people will actually go see a film because an actor they like is on the poster. Makes more money. I feel the same about so many reboot films. Just make something new. But it’s easy advertising to have it attached to an existing ip

THIS NONE OF THEM LOOK GREEK EITHER

I can’t wait for Tom Holland to be the worst thing ever
