Yorgos Lanthimos: The Greek island where the finale of his new film was filmed, after being turned down for the Acropolis
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
Almost a month after the rejection of Yorgos Lanthimos’ request by the KAS to film his new film, “Bugonia”, on the Acropolis, the Greek director seems to have found another location in our country.
As journalist Thanos Vagios revealed on ANT1’s Proino show, the film’s finale was filmed on the beautiful Sarakiniko beach in Milos and the show secured exclusive footage from the preparations.
“The filming was completed. Last Wednesday they went for a test, they saw the location and on Friday the filming took place. 15 days earlier, Yorgos Lanthimos had visited the island to see if the location suited the new script for the film's finale," the journalist said.
Yorgos Lanthimos' new film stars his muse, Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Alicia Silverstone, Stavros Chalkias and others.
When will Yorgos Lanthimos' new film premiere?
Focus Features will release the award-winning Greek director's new film "Bugonia" on October 24, before its premiere in American theaters on October 31.
Lanthimos' film, shot in VistaVision, will be screened for a week in select theaters in New York and Los Angeles, according to Deadline. The original release date was November 7.
It is a remake of the South Korean science fiction comedy “Save the Green Planet,” directed by Jang Joon-hwan. Universal Pictures will release the film internationally, with CJ ENM handling distribution in Korea.
The screenplay adaptation is by Will Tracy, known for “The Menu” and “Succession.” It focuses on “two young men obsessed with conspiracy theories who kidnap the powerful CEO of a major corporation, convinced that she is an alien intent on destroying the Earth.”
In addition to directing, Lanthimos will also be producing alongside Ed Guiney and Andrew Lowe, through Element Pictures, Stone on behalf of Fruit Tree, Ari Aster and Lars Knudsen for Square Peg, and Mickey Lee and Jerry Kyungboom Ko for CJ ENM.
