Christopher Nolan took home his first two Oscars for Oppenheimer. In 2024, he won both Best Director and Best Picture for his atomic bomb opus. Despite the film’s massive success, he did not nab the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. He lost to American Fiction‘s Cord Jefferson. But if Tom Holland is right, Nolan will soon add that golden statue to his shelf. The Spider-Man star said Nolan’s upcoming epic The Odyssey is “the best script I’ve ever read.”
France 24 covered Holland’s recent chat with Agence France-Presse (an interview we first heard about at Deadline), where he discussed his time filming Nolan’s upcoming adaptation. The writer-director is bringing Homer’s iconic epic poem to the big screen. Actually, he’s bringing it to the biggest screen, as it will be the first movie ever filmed entirely with IMAX cameras.
Holland plays Telemachus, son of Matt Damon’s Odysseus, in the movie. Needless to say he’s a huge fan of what Nolan is doing. In addition to saying the script is the best he’s ever come across, he also praised how the Nolan works. Holland called him a “real collaborator” who “knows what he wants” while not creating an “environment where you can’t pitch ideas or build characters in certain ways.” He also previously said working on the film was “the job of a lifetime” and “the best experience” he has ever had on a set.
The only thing missing from Holland’s comments are an offering of his best goat and a table of his finest nectar and ambrosia. But we get it. Christopher Nolan knows what he’s doing, and Oppenheimer more than proves he definitely knows how to adapt great source material. And if Holland is right about what Nolan wrote, he’ll get that Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar in 2027. The Odyssey debuts on July 17, 2026.
