Elliot Page Reveals Stunt Details for Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey”

Actor Elliot Page discussed the filming of a buried‑alive sequence in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film “The Odyssey” during an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Page explained that he did not perform the stunt himself; professional stunt performers executed the shot while breathing through straws placed under the sand to ensure safety. He added that he did complete a separate practical stunt earlier in the movie.

Page also compared his reaction to the script of “The Odyssey” with his experience reading the script for Nolan’s 2010 film “Inception,” describing it as “breathless” and complex. The interview highlighted the coordination and safety measures involved in the film’s action scenes.
