Nyong'o to Play Dual Roles in Nolan's The Odyssey
Lupita Nyong'o has been confirmed to play two roles in Christopher Nolan's upcoming epic The Odyssey: Helen of Troy and her sister Clytemnestra. Nolan says he chose to imply the gods through nature and belief rather than direct depictions. The film features a star-studded cast led by Matt Damon as Odysseus, with Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway and Robert Pattinson among others, and is aiming for a budget around $250 million with a July 17 release; Hathaway notes the ensemble stayed in modest accommodations to keep costs down.
