Studio Behind The Odyssey Denies Unpaid Damage Claim for Replica Viking Ship
The production company behind Christopher Nolan's film The Odyssey has responded to claims that its crew damaged a replica Viking boat during filming and failed to pay for repairs. The chair of the Vikingaleden association in western Sweden told The Guardian that the organization invoiced Universal for $6,000 (about £4,500) for material costs after the boat, named Glad av Gillberga, was damaged during the grueling shoot. The association stated that the agreement was for reimbursement and that they feel forgotten. In response, a Universal spokesperson said their records show all invoices related to the boat were paid in full, and that the studio has contacted the association to clear up any misunderstanding. The article also highlights Nolan's well-known preference for practical effects and on-location shooting, which contributed to the demanding production conditions.
