The Odyssey
One element of Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” entirely under wraps right now is Samantha Morton portrayal of the sorceress Circe. A new quote from the film’s producer Emma Thomas however is getting everyone excited.
Thomas says at a cast and crew screening of the film, something special happened: “When she finished her scene, she got a round of applause from the cast and crew. That’s something we hadn’t seen since Heath Ledger on ‘The Dark Knight.’”. We’ll see for ourselves when “The Odyssey” opens July 17th. [Source: Empire via Reddit]
