\n\tElliot Page<\/a> isn\u2019t getting a flood of casting opportunities coming off his acclaimed performance in the second highest-grossing movie of the year. <\/p>\n

\n\tDuring an interview with\u00a0On Film\u2026With Kevin McCarthy <\/a>(below), the hosted asked if Page knows what role he\u2019s doing next and said, \u201cI imagine you\u2019re getting a zillion calls after this movie.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cNo, Kevin, I\u2019m not,\u201d Page said with a laugh. \u201cSo, let\u2019s \u2014 if someone wants to call me \u2026 \u201c<\/p>\n

\n\tA surprised McCarthy asked if Page really doesn\u2019t have another job lined up. \u201cNot really,\u201d Page replied. \u201cI\u2019d really love to do good work. That\u2019s what I\u2019d love to do.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tPage then said he is considering being more proactive about reaching out to filmmakers, noting that \u201cI was seen in a certain way before and it is different now.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tHe then jokingly added, possibly referring to Trump\u2019s current tariff battle with Canada: \u201cI think that\u2019s probably for pretty obvious reasons: the Canadian thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPage added that he feels as comfortable as ever as an actor, and noted, \u201cI feel like I could maybe do some of my best work now.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tPage\u2019s casting in The Odyssey<\/a> was initially met with some right-wing backlash on social media, partly because some incorrectly assumed director Christopher Nolan cast the actor as the warrior Achilles. Once the film was released, critics widely praised Page\u2019s searing performance as the doomed Greek soldier Sinon, and even some of Page\u2019s detractors online were won over by his work. Many have speculated Page might get nominated for an Oscar for the role. <\/p>\n

\n\tOne little nugget of behind-the-scenes information about making The Odyssey and Nolan\u2019s practical approach is that Page revealed he didn\u2019t do a single line of ADR for the film in post-production \u2014 every bit of dialogue was recorded during filming on set. <\/p>\n

\n\tHe also revealed that he still has his Inception character\u2019s token \u2014 a chess pawn. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Elliot Page isn\u2019t getting a flood of casting opportunities coming off his acclaimed performance in the second highest-grossing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":878005,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[64,63,447,367982,134,30335],"class_list":["post-878004","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-celebrities","tag-elliot-page","tag-entertainment","tag-the-odyssey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/878004","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=878004"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/878004\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/878005"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=878004"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=878004"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=878004"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
