Tom Holland has a "job of a lifetime"

4 Sep - Tom Holland is truly enjoying his time working with renowned director Christopher Nolan, as he enthused about the filmmaker again in a recent interview.

The British star, who plays Odysseus' son Telemachus in Nolan's upcoming film, "The Odyssey", told Agence France-Presse that the script of the movie, which is adapted from Homer's epic poems, was the best script that he has ever read.

"Chris is a real collaborator. He knows what he wants... but it is not an environment where you can't pitch ideas or build characters in certain ways," he enthused.

Prior to the latest interview, Holland had previously told GQ Sports that filming the movie was the job of a lifetime.

"The best experience I've had on the film set. Incredible. It was exciting. It was different. And I think the movie is going to be unlike anything we've ever seen... To get a front row seat to that and to be a part of the process and to collaborate with a true master of his craft and learn from him was the best experience I've ever had," he said.

The upcoming film, slated for July 2026 release, stars Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong'o, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron and Jon Bernthal among others.
