Featuring locations such as: Temple of Apollo at Delphi, the Ancient Agora of Athens, the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus, the unique island of Hydra, the Caves of Diros, Nestor’s Palace, Niokastro Fortress in Pylos, and Ancient Stagira, as well as a lot of shooting in restaurants and hotels in Athens, Hydra, Lesvos, Chalkidiki, Pelion, Kavala, and at the Peloponnese.
The film is written and directed by Michael Winterbottom, who also recently worked with Coogan on the satire film Greed. It is produced by Melissa Parmenter. The film was supposed to make its U.S. debut at the 2020 Tribeca Film Festival before it was cancelled.
