“The script is the best script I’ve ever read,” the “Spider-Man” actor said in an interview.
On his experience of working with Nolan, the actor added, “He knows what he wants… but it is not an environment where you can’t pitch ideas or build characters in certain ways.”

Holland plays the role of Telemachus, Odysseus’ son, in the film, which is an adaptation of the ancient Greek epic poem “Odyssey” by Homer.
Homer’s “Odyssey” follows the journey of Odysseus, who spends years travelling back home from the Trojan War while battling mythical creatures and facing the wrath of the gods.
The epic was previously adapted by director Mario Camerini in his 1954 movie “Ulysses” starring Kirk Douglas. The 2000 film “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” by Coen Brothers’ was also based on Homer’s poem.
