Elliot Page recently shared his enthusiasm about working on Christopher Nolan’s latest film adaptation, The Odyssey, during an appearance on The Tonight Show. The actor compared his initial reaction to reading Nolan’s script to his experience with Inception, noting that he felt overwhelmed by the ambitious scope of the project. Page emphasized the intricate nature of the screenplay, praising its combination of complexity and emotional depth.
In his discussion with host Jimmy Fallon, Page highlighted what it was like collaborating with Nolan for a second time. The actor expressed gratitude for the opportunity to participate in such a large-scale production, characterizing it as a significant honor. Page also commended Nolan’s distinctive directing approach, noting the precision and focus evident on set that demands complete presence from cast members.
For The Odyssey, Page portrays Sinon, a soldier from Ithaca who performs practical stunts throughout filming. The character’s inclusion marks a departure from Homer’s original text, though the figure does appear in Virgil’s The Aeneid. The film has achieved considerable commercial success at the box office, establishing itself as a major release that has generated sustained audience interest.
