popping it in here because it makes me laugh every time. he also talks about how spider-man got six months of extra time to work on the script (and hire a director lmao) bc of the odyssey schedule www.gq.com/story/matt-d...

During The Odyssey’s production, Holland’s collaborators on Spider-Man got used to hearing about Christopher Nolan. “I was really able to lay down the law and say, ‘We are not going to come to set and figure it out,’ ” Holland said. “ ‘We need to know why we are making this movie beyond the fact that it’s Spider-Man 4 and they make loads of money and we’re going to just have a big summer. Why are we making this movie?’ And Destin was super instrumental in that, but it was just really great to constantly be calling up the studio and [producers] Amy [Pascal] and Rachel [O’Connor], who I love, and be like, ‘Well, Chris is doing it this way. This is how I think we should be doing it.’ ”

I hope Coogler sees that and understands he now has the juice to allow for Nolanesque-behavior. More so than the Russos, imho. Yes, even as a Black man in Hollywood.

rindo o bichinho finalmente fez um filme de vdd e ficou "então galera. filmar sem roteiro é meio uó hein... meu amigo e colaborador Christopher Nolan não faria assim hein..."

This is poignant in light of Holland’s injury filming his latest spider outing. I’m not sure when the injury happened vis-a-vis ODYSSEY’s production schedule, but one of the primary reasons you script & storyboard ahead of time, especially in an action film, is so people *don’t get hurt*.

There's a not-zero chance the new Spider-Man will be more like a real movie

You may or may not love Nolan movies, but him showing Tom Holland how good it is to *have a fucking plan,* and then for Holland to mouth off to Marvel about that? That's *chef kiss.*

lol Tom Holland was in one real movie for once and suddenly he's calling Marvel execs like "hey did you know some people actually write the movie before they film it?"

incrível o Tom Holand fascinado por fazer o primeiro filme de verdade da carreira dele e tentando ensinar a marvel

Almost all of Holland's work was within the usual rushed studio system that "fixes everythingin post and reshoots." He works ONE movie with an old school filmmaker who often fixes everything at the script level before shooting a single scene and he's like "Guys, can we do this?" And he's right.

The fact that the lead actor had to tell the directors, writers, and execs at Disney/Marvel that the movie they were working on had to be fully planned out is very sad
