What does the Ministry of Culture answer on the subject
Stop put on the George Lanthimos for shooting his new film on the Acropolis, as KAS rejected the request filed by the production company.
“We had intended to support the film,” the Ministry of Culture’s sources told Live News, explaining that they disagreed with the content of certain scenes.
“The Ministry of Culture had every intention of supporting the film and had already been approved and had been committed to shooting hours in the Acropolis, But these scenes were deemed by KAS to be incompatible with the symbols that emit the Acropolis monuments and especially the Parthenon, “they say from the Ministry of Culture.
The Oscar -winning director wanted to return there the finale of his new film. Most of the shooting has already taken place in England and New York, and only Athens and the Acropolis were left for the last scene, but which would not happen as KAS members believed that this scene did not fit the character of the monument.
Reportedly, the film’s subversive finale would depict dozens of dead around the Acropolis and trained cats would be circulating between the corpses.
The oppositions were not accepted
The shooting would take place next week on the Acropolis and specifically on April 10. However, KAS’s block has surprised the production company that is now racing to find a new shooting space.
With the time margins narrowing, the leading Greek director was suggested that the scene be done on Philopappou Hill, something that production did not accept.
“Both the competent service and the KAS have made a series of oppositions that were not accepted,” they say from the Ministry of Culture.
The Greek director, originally from Ikaria, has been at the top of world cinema in recent years. At last year’s Oscars, Lanthimos deservedly stood against the athenheimer’s atomic bomb with the movie “Poor Things” totaling four golden statues.
Emma Stone is the protagonist of her new film. It is a black science fiction comedy entitled “Bugonia” that will be released in the US on November 7, with the leading Greek director now looking for a new space for his subversive finale.
