IMBUCATO DENTRO IL SET DELL’ODISSEA DI NOLAN
In this Italian-language vlog, Jacopo D'Alesio (Jakidale) recounts how, a year and a half ago, he unintentionally stumbled upon the production of Christopher Nolan's new film, tentatively titled 'Odissea', while on vacation in Favignana, Sicily. He describes arriving just as the massive $250 million set was being assembled, noting the extensive infrastructure—including tents, helicopters, a restored castle repurposed as Ithaca, and a custom-built funicular—to bring materials onto the island. Despite heavy security, he managed to sneak around, observing key locations such as the cove representing Ulisse’s arrival and the cave for the Polyphemus battle. He mentions the production’s secretive code name, "Charlie's Tale," used in police ordinances and vehicle markings. On the final day, the actors—Christopher Nolan, Matt Damon, and Tom Holland—arrived, allowing him a close, uninvited glimpse of the legendary director and cast. He concludes by thanking local friends who helped him navigate the island and the set. The video emphasizes the excitement of witnessing a whole island transformed into a Hollywood set and the personal thrill of an unexpected encounter with major film figures.
