‘The Odyssey,’ ‘Maria’ Filming Location Greece Hits Troubled Waters Over Ongoing Delays With 40% Cash Rebate
Officials in the popular Mediterranean filming location are looking to reassure anxious producers over ongoing delays with rebate payments.
After wrapping a three-week shoot in Greece earlier this year, Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya and the rest of the star-studded cast of Christopher Nolan ’s “ The Odyssey ” shipped out for Sicily, the next stop for Universal’s globe-trotting, blockbuster adaptation of Homer’s ancient epic. Yet this week, Variety has learned, the producers of “Maria” penned a blistering letter to the Greek ministry of finance and EKKOMED, demanding answers about roughly €350,000 ($392,000) in unpaid rebate claims dating back to the film’s autumn 2023 shoot in Greece. That allowed “The Odyssey” and Romain Gavras’ English-language debut, “Sacrifice” — starring Chris Evans, Anya Taylor-Joy and Salma Hayek — to retroactively recoup millions in production and pre-production costs.
