Turning to Nolan during a recent discussion on The Odyssey with People magazine, Hathaway continued: \u201cYou\u2019ve made so many incredible movies all in different genres, but your approach to it, your respect to the crew, how arduously you prepare and think about everything, that\u2019s all there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hathaway said the biggest change over the past 12 years had been herself rather than the director.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cI think I was different.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hathaway added: \u201cI think that I got to make two movies with you when I was kind of still in the early stage of my career. We made them pretty quickly and then for 12 years, you were in Dunkirk … and places like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nolan has directed Dunkirk, Tenet and Oppenheimer, with the latter winning seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture.<\/p>\n
Looking back on her return to one of Nolan\u2019s productions, Hathaway said: \u201cSo funny enough, my longing to be back on one of Chris\u2019 sets really fuelled my passion as Penelope because I\u2019ve been on amazing sets.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added: \u201cI\u2019ve had wonderful experiences. Chris is one of one.\u201d<\/p>\n
Turning once more to Nolan, Hathaway continued: \u201cThere\u2019s just nothing else like this. It does feel a bit like a homecoming because you\u2019re just at the apex of what it is that you do. I\u2019ve never encountered anything higher than this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nolan said bringing Hathaway back for a third collaboration was an easy decision.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cThis is the third time we\u2019ve worked together.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nolan added to her and other actors on the discussion panel for The Odyssey: \u201cI\u2019m just thrilled that these guys all agreed to come on board… we had an incredible experience, put them all through it, but they rose to it magnificently.\u201d<\/p>\n
Earlier in the conversation, Hathaway recalled Nolan first revealing his next mystery project was an adaptation of The Odyssey.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cWhen Chris told me that we were doing The Odyssey, I actually had to stand up, walk around for a second and said, \u2018I\u2019m going to need a second\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t know that that was what the project was going to be.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hathaway added her long-standing love of Greek mythology helped shape her approach to playing Penelope.<\/p>\n
She explained she and Nolan discussed how Odysseus and Penelope shared a genuine love match rather than a political marriage.<\/p>\n
Hathaway said: \u201cThey actually had a love match, which is just about the rarest thing in this world and that world.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTheir dream was to be together as a family.\u201d<\/p>\n
Describing the emotional foundation of the role, Hathaway also said: \u201cShe just missed her person, how much she wanted to be herself fully in front of someone again.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was kind of the alchemy behind all of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hathaway also praised the production team, including costume designer Ellen Mirojnick, saying: \u201cThis crew was so big and everybody was so excellent.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added: \u201cIt was such a joy to be a part of a chain that was that strong and that\u2019s what you wanted to do every day. You wanted to just go be a part of it, be the link that held and enjoy that feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n
With a laugh, she concluded: \u201cAnd then rest on the weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Turning to Nolan during a recent discussion on The Odyssey with People magazine, Hathaway continued: \u201cYou\u2019ve made so…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":528416,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[74,18316,806,430,16426,156,793,54447,122084,6281,111,139,122085,69,189496,90,13382,223,102,4576,19135,1530],"class_list":["post-528415","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-after","tag-anne","tag-as","tag-celebrities","tag-christopher","tag-entertainment","tag-felt","tag-hails","tag-hathaway","tag-homecoming","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nolan","tag-nz","tag-odyssey","tag-on","tag-returning","tag-the","tag-with","tag-work","tag-working","tag-years"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/528415","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=528415"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/528415\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/528416"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=528415"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=528415"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=528415"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
