Christopher Nolan To Shoot The Odyssey At Goat Island

Star Hollywood filmmaker Christopher Nolan‘s next project after the super success of Oppenheimer (2023), The Odyssey, has gained substantial buzz even before filming begins. The filmmaker is set to start the shoot soon, and according to a report in Deadline, he will be shooting the film at a special location, also known as “Goat Island.”

The report confirms that part of The Odyssey will be shot on a Sicilian island called Goat Island. According to historians, this is the place where Odysseus landed and wandered. Nolan’s film is based on the same epic from Homer’s 8th Century BCE work.
