Christopher Nolan has said that one actor in his upcoming The Odyssey has been getting a similar reception to Heath Ledger's Oscar-winning performance in The Dark Knight. Samantha Morton, who plays goddess Circe in the new movie, received a round of applause on set, something that has only happened once before in Nolan's career.
"This was a massive film and she is someone who comes in and changes the dynamic," Nolan said to The L.A. Times. "In some weird way, the film lived or died over that character. She was the fulcrum. I’ve always admired Samantha's work, she brings so much depth of thinking about her role, there are no limitations on her performance.
