Brad Pitt: In Chalkida for the filming of the movie 'The Riders'

Brad Pitt has arrived in Chalkida to begin filming for 'The Riders' after recently shooting scenes on Hydra.

Brad Pitt has completed filming for the movie 'The Riders' on the island of Hydra and has now arrived in Chalkida for the next phase of production. The 62-year-old actor traveled to Chalkida aboard the yacht 'Persefoni,' which docked at the port in front of the city's train station early this morning. Local reports indicate that filming in Chalkida is set to take place from March 5 to March 11, during which film crews have already established operations at the old train station where security measures have been heightened.

Following the Chalkida shoots, it is expected that Pitt will move to Nea Makri from March 11 to March 13 to film the final scenes of the movie that will take place in Greece. The movie is directed by Edward Berger, known for his Oscar-winning film 'All Quiet on the Western Front' as well as the award-nominated project 'Conclave.' This filming in Greece adds to the nation's reputation as a scenic backdrop for international film productions, attracting high-profile talent to its diverse locations.

These ongoing film projects not only highlight Greece's appeal as a cinematic location but also may contribute to the local economy through tourism and job creation associated with the film industry. As international productions increasingly choose Greece for their settings, the potential for growth in this sector remains promising, signaling a vibrant future for filmmaking within the region.
