Christopher Nolan is set to film his upcoming project on Favignana Island, also known as 'Goat Island,' off the coast of Sicily. This location is believed to be inspired by Homer's Odyssey, where Odysseus and his crew visited the island for supplies.
There’s a lot of uncertainty in the world right now, but one thing remains sure: Christopher Nolan is always gonna Christopher Nolan. Surprise, surprise, the director who once blew up a real 747 and bragged about. Figuring out how to film an authentic Cyclops or turn a man into an actual pig will likely take a bit more brainstorming, but for now, Nolan is doing the next best thing: filming on the island Homer supposedly envisioned his mythic hero landing.
In real life, it’s a beautiful and presumably cyclops-free part of the Egadi archipelago off Sicily’s north-west coast. Nolan is likely to film in other parts of Sicily as well, but the bulk of this portion of the shoot will take place on Favignana.The film’s cast—which includes Tom Holland, Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson, and Charlize Theron in undisclosed roles—and several tons of “brand new” IMAX film technology will also sail to the U.K.
