Elliot Page has seen a Christopher Nolan script before, but apparently, the director still knows how to leave him speechless.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Page revealed that reading Nolan’s The Odysseyscript gave him the same jaw-dropping feeling he experienced when he first read Inception.
“My first reaction, honestly, it was similar to reading the script to Inception,” Page told host Jimmy Fallon.
“I really was just left breathless. Really blown away by something that was so complex, so massive, and with this tremendous engine and heart that just kept moving forward. It just really blew me away.”
Returning to Nolan’s world years after Inception, Page said, “I felt so fortunate to be asked to come back and to be part of something this epic and incredible as this. It was just such a gift.”
Page, who plays Ithacan soldier Sinon, also had plenty of praise for Nolan’s famously precise filmmaking style. He called the director’s approach “impeccable” and his sets “focused.”
And then came the stunts.
Page recalled filming a practical sequence involving the Trojan Horse, calling it a “classic Nolan” moment. Sinon may not appear in Homer’s original Odyssey, but the character does appear in Virgil’s The Aeneid.
Nolan has also praised the reunion, calling Page “terrific” and saying, “It’s nice to reunite with people.”
Despite online backlash over Page and Lupita Nyong’o’s casting, The Odysseyhas become a box-office phenomenon.
Elon Musk even floated an AI-generated version. Because apparently one Odyssey wasn’t enough.
