\u201cThe Odyssey<\/a>\u201d stars Matt Damon<\/a> and Anne Hathaway<\/a> revealed director Christopher Nolan<\/a>\u2018s on-set \u201ccommandments.\u201d<\/p>\n

During an interview on the YouTube talk show \u201cRoyal Court<\/a>,\u201d the actors dished on the director\u2019s quirky rules on the set of the star-studded film, which hit theaters on July 17.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat are some of the commandments of a Nolan set?\u201d host Brittany Broski asked the pair. \u201cAre there any rules everyone abides by?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThou shalt work hard,\u201d Damon, 55, offered, to which Hathaway, 43, quipped, \u201cThou shalt not wear Uggs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh yeah, that\u2019s a good one,\u201d Damon agreed. \u201cHe hates Uggs. I think they just symbolize leisure in a way that he\u2019s not comfortable with.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cThou shalt not sit down. There are no chairs on set.\u201d<\/p>\n

To that, Hathaway shared, \u201cThou wilt be fed. However, lunch shall not linger.\u201d<\/p>\n

Damon then offered, \u201cThou shalt not watch playback. Because there shall be none.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\tPlay video<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\"Play\"\/<\/p>\n

Additionally, Hathaway said, \u201cThou shalt feel tremendous gratitude\u2026that thy are there\u2026 thou are there?\u201d explaining in an aside, \u201cThat\u2019s not a commandment, it\u2019s just something that happens.\u201d<\/p>\n

In \u201cThe Odyssey,\u201d Damon plays the titular character, Odysseus, while Hathaway plays his wife, Penelope. The ensemble cast also stars Tom Holland as Odysseus\u2019 son, Telemachus, Zendaya as Athena, Robert Pattinson as Antinous, Lupita Nyong\u2019o as Helen of Troy, Charlize Theron as Calypso, Jon Bernthal as Menelaus, and John Leguizamo as Eumaeus. It also features Elliot Page, Travis Scott, Jamie Harris, Corey Hawkins, Jarreth J. Merz, Niko Nicotera, Rafi Gavron, Elyes Gabel, Himesh Patel and Benny Safdie.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the Trojan War, Odysseus faces a dangerous voyage back to Ithaca,\u201d the movie\u2019s logline reads, \u201cmeeting creatures like the Cyclops Polyphemus, Sirens and Calypso along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Odyssey\u201d has already marked Nolan\u2019s best non-\u201cDark Night\u201d opening, with a $51 million opening day and the potential of at least $120 million domestic and $250 million worldwide.<\/p>\n
