While this film by Christopher Nolan is extremely acclaimed, his main actor is bad and preferred to avoid future collaborations.
A new masterpiece in preparation?
The new film by Christopher Nolan, the Odyssey, is becoming more and more becoming. Like Oppenheimer, this ambitious project will be shot in Imax. Casting level, the latter will once again be very prestigious. He will bring together Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Zendaya, Tom Holland, Charlize Theron and Lupita Nyong’o. We just have to know who will embody who. Scheduled for an outing on July 17, 2026 in the United States, the shooting will start in two months and will take place between Sicily, Morocco and the United Kingdom.
If the roles of mythological characters like Ulysses, Pénélope or Athena remain unknown, the magnitude of the production and the grandiose vision of Nolan already arouse an immense craze. Still many things remain to be discovered, but one thing is certain: this actor will not come back, because he did not like to play with Nolan the last time.
“I was bad in a good movie”
Guy Pearce recently revised Memento and surprised everyone by declaring that he found his mediocre performance in the psychological thriller of Christopher Nolan. This film from 2000, which has nevertheless become cult, follows a narration that is both linear and not linear and plunges the spectator into the minds of a man suffering from short -term memory losses. Pearce plays Leonard Shelby, a role that earned him many praises from criticism and the public, which allowed the film to receive a beautiful 93 % on Rotten Tomatoes. However, during a recent question and answer session, Pearce said that he had hated to see his performance again, even going so far as to say that this is probably the reason why he never reworked with Nolan.
“I was trying to have a casual attitude, but it was completely false. Actor John Gielgud said one day: “We can be good in a good movie, good in a bad movie, bad in a bad movie, but never bad in a good film.” However, I watched Memento and I realized that I was bad in a good film. Damn! – Guy Pearce at Times.
Despite Pearce’s severe opinion on his own acting game, Memento remains a cult film and a major stage in the career of Nolan and his main actor, and his fans will find it difficult to prove him right. It must be said that the film continues to be studied as an example of Nolan’s talent. However, whether he likes it, Pearce and his interpretation of Leonard Shelby in Memento remain one of the most memorable roles in his career. On the side of Nolan, the latter did not speak on this subject, but he still holds his film in high esteem and probably his actor with it.
