Christopher Nolan says the online conversation surrounding The Odyssey is ultimately “irrelevant.”
In a recent interview with The Telegraph, the Oscar-winning filmmaker responded to criticism surrounding his adaptation of Homer’s epic, which has sparked online debate over some of its casting choices and the use of American accents and modern dialogue in its trailers.
“Comes with the territory,” Nolan told the publication. “But look, these conversations that happen before people see the film — they’re always irrelevant, because no one having them knows what the film actually is yet.”
The director went on to compare the early reaction to The Odyssey with his experience of the beloved Dark Knight trilogy.
