LOS ANGELES—Touting his commitment to authentic visual effects, filmmaker Christopher Nolan revealed Tuesday that he built a fully practical Tom Holland for his latest film, The Odyssey. “When you see Telemachus standing on the terrace overlooking Ithaca, you’ll say, ‘That’s got to be CGI’—but I can assure you, that’s bona fide Tom Holland,” said Nolan, who recalled how his special effects team of artisans and craftspeople worked relentlessly over a 10-month period to create the British actor. “It was a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. Each individual hair was placed onto the head with tweezers, and during filming I had to remind the crew to keep the IMAX cameras a good distance back to make him look short. Computer animation is easier, but I just think Tom Holland is much more immersive this way, even if it does take three highly trained puppeteers to operate him.” Nolan went on to confirm Tom Holland was now in a display case in his office.The post Christopher Nolan Recalls Building Fully Practical Tom Holland For ‘The Odyssey’ appeared first on The Onion.
