A message to Nolan about his Odyssey movie project


Please replace Matt Damon with Christian Bale NOW!Damon is a miscast gonna ruin the film...He doesn't look Greek

Did you see The Last Duel by any chance, Damon looked and acted the part marvelously.
Not a Greek role I know but still…
And Damon is a wonderful actor imo, I think he’ll do great.
And I had no idea about this, I’ve been waiting for an Odyssey type film (not counting the TV version starring Assante) since I can remember, and to be helmed by Nolan, this is going to be extraordinary!

Bale is no better.

reply

Bale is one of the best in Hollywood. He has played such a range of characters.

Bale is no better.

reply

That is a compelling argument. But, unfortunately... nanny-nanny boo-boo!!

reply

Bale is different, he has the intensity, which Damon just doesn't.

Then again we still have no idea who Damon was supposed to play, might not require any intensity.

reply

Perhaps he'll play one of Circe's pigs. Odysseus, though? No thanks.

reply

Nolan likes to work with the same actors. Once you get in with one you hope to work with Nolan again. That's how actor seem to think about it.
