The famous actor will be in our country not for a vacation, but for the filming of the movie entitled “The son of the carpenter”, the script of which revolves around the miracles of Jesus Christ, as the journalist Nikos Nikolizas revealed to the newspaper Espresso. ensuring a global exclusivity.

As he mentions in his report, until today everything is being done under the utmost secrecy, in a beautiful natural landscape, just outside of Athens, in the caves and ravines of the Kryftes Megaron area, and everyone is eagerly waiting for the shooting to begin.

A few kilometers outside of Athens, specifically in the treacherous mountains of Megara, in the famous and impressive Kryftes, with the unique caves and the natural landscape reminiscent of other times, for a few weeks the machines of the Municipality of Megara have been working non-stop.

After all, the area and the name Kryftes are not accidental, as in ancient times this area was a proper fortress for the inhabitants of Attikovoiotia, who hid from the invaders of other areas. Although the area is an “impregnable castle” due to work and waiting for Hollywood stars, “Espresso” managed to capture some of the scenes set in the steep ravines.
