Where the shooting will take place
The shooting of the film will take place in the studios of Millennium, in Thermi, but also in all of Thessaloniki and areas of Central Macedonia, such as Halkidiki.
The background of this spy thriller will be Aristotelous Square, Emporiou Square, Kapani, the alleys and the walls of Ano Poli, as well as the facilities of the Airport and the Metro.
The film is based on the book of the same name by Noah Boyd, which is based in Berlin, so the producers changed the script to develop in Thessaloniki and Central Macedonia, presenting the region as a film destination in the global audiovisual market.
Greek actors and stuntmen will take part in the film, while for the shooting, which will last about two months, about 3,000 auxiliary actors will be used. At the same time, many Greek professionals from various fields will work, who were trained in the previous period and specialized in the field of film producers.
The catalyst for the smooth implementation of the shooting is the contribution of the local authorities and especially of the Regional Governor of Central Macedonia, Apostolos Tzitzikostas and the Deputy Regional Minister of Tourism Alexandros Thanos, the Mayor of Thessaloniki, Konstantinos Zervas, the Interior Ministry of Film Offices Macedonia and Thrace), Stavros Kalafatis and the President and CEO of EKOME, Panos Kouanis.
