Nolan backed her up, and he had his own reasons for picking Mumbai as the only city in the world for a fan premiere of the film.He said he first visited years ago for a conference about the future of films, and it changed how he thought about audiences here.That's not something you hear a director say about India every day, and it stuck out. Nolan's no stranger to shooting in the country either, having filmed parts of The Dark Knight Rises in Jodhpur and Tenet in Mumbai.He even cracked a Spider Man Far From Home joke at Holland's expense during the conference,leaving the whole room laughing.
The Odyssey had its India premiere ahead of a worldwide theatrical release on July 17, and it's landing in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.Damon plays Odysseus, the Greek king trying to find his way home after years at war, while Holland plays his son Telemachus.Anne Hathaway,Zendaya,Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron and Lupita Nyong'o round out a cast that Nolan shot almost entirely without green screens.Talk in Hollywood might say cinemas are dying, but nobody in that Mumbai hotel room seemed to believe it.
