(Bloomberg) -- Hollywood is coming to Greece, as major studios are increasingly setting films amid its famous natural scenery while pocketing cash rebates for bringing projects like âGO,â the sequel to Rian Johnsonâs âKnives Out,â to the country.
Greece has green-lighted a total of 140 planned films from across the world since 2018, an investment worth some 170 million euros ($200 million), according to EKOME, the National Center of Audiovisual Media and Communication.
Among the notable projects: noir thriller âThe Enforcerâ starring Antonio Banderas, where the northern Greek city of Thessaloniki will serve as the backdrop for many of the scenes set in Miami.
