Studio Behind The Odyssey Denies Unpaid Damage Claims 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 said they felt forgotten and that the agreement was for reimbursement. A Universal spokesperson countered that all invoices related to the boat were paid in full and that the studio has contacted the association to clear up any misunderstanding. The boat was used in several sequences of the film, which is an adaptation of Homer's epic and is now in theaters. The article also highlights Nolan's commitment to practical effects and on-location shooting.
