A big Hollywood production is getting ready to begin filming in Thessaloniki.
According to the Governor of Central Macedonia, Apostolos Tzitzikostas, this is the first time Thessaloniki will be a film location for such a big production which includes a cast of world-famous actors, including Antonio Banderas.
The movie... dun dun dun... 'Barracuda'.
“Don’t be surprised if while you’re drinking coffee on Nikis Street, you suddenly see next to you a well-known director and a very famous Hollywood star,” the governor said.
The production is worth €20 million.
'Barracuda' producer Robert Van Norden met with Tzitzikostas on Monday, and announced that film crew will be in the area for five weeks, and filming will take place over thirty days.
“We are lucky to have found most of what we were looking for so far, thanks to the help of the Greek team. We plan to start shooting in two weeks and we are very happy to be in Greece”, Robert Van Norden said.
