Giannis Antetokounmpo co-produces film set on Mykonos island

·

Giannis Antetokounmpo has stepped into the world of film production. The Greek basketball superstar, already known for his ventures in energy drinks, vineyards, and wineries, is now adding cinema to his business repertoire.

According to protothema.com, his production company, Improbable Media, has co-produced its first feature film in collaboration with Studio Galazio, an international film production studio.

Titled Mykonos, the film is a heist comedy set on the iconic Greek island. It tells the story of a quirky group of noble thieves who target arrogant tourists disrupting the island’s tranquility every summer.

Filming for the project, which highlights a distinctly Greek cultural element, has recently been completed.

The cast features a mix of international and Greek actors. Rising star Klelia Andriolatou (Netflix’s Maestro in Blue) leads the ensemble, joined by Riccardo Scamarcio (John Wick 2), Andrew Georgiades, Vito Schnabel (The Trainer), and Julia Fox (Uncut Gems) in major roles. Other cast members include Panos Koronis (The Lost Daughter), Makis Papadimitriou (Suntan), Giorgos Pyrpassopoulos (Crimes of the Future), Maria Kavoyianni (Maestro in Blue), Alan Asaad (Black Mirror), and Christos Passalis (Dogtooth).
