HOLLYWOOD INVASION as Christopher Nolan's "Odyssey" film crew, extras conquer Corinth
Trust us, we saw this one coming
As we first reported for Euronews some time ago, “the Acropolis of Athens needs no introduction, but such is its prominence that it obscures other ancient citadels in Greece like the Acrocorinth, which looms over the ruins of the ancient city-state of Corinth with a mix of ancient Mycenaean, Greek, Byzantine and Venetian ramparts.”
The film crew of director Christopher Nolan’s forthcoming film “The Odyssey” have now been spotted at Acrocorinth, which looms above the ruins of ancient Corinth itself. Photos of extras donned in ancient Grecian garb were seen in local Greek media.
It was not immediately clear if filming has already wrapped or is still underway in other Greek locations such as Pylos in the Peloponnese.
We can say that the view of the Isthmus of Corinth from the top of the Acrokorinthos rock is spectacular. You can pair your visit with a jaunt to the beach at Loutraki, famous for its hot springs, or take a dip in the lovely Limni Vouliagmenis lagoon nearby.
It is also worth noting that in ancient times, Corinth was renowned for its “pornis”, or whores. In this respect, it is a perfect match for Hollywood!
Also, Greek Column can exclusively reveal the likely source of Matt Damon’s already controversial Odysseus costume: it’s a depiction of an ancient Greek hoplite that is currently on permanent display in the Acropolis museum:
We reached out to Universal Pictures for comment and confirmation of this revelation, but did not receive a response from those Hollywood bitches.
The shooting continues before reportedly moving on to Italy’s Aeolian islands.
