Oscar-winner Nicolas Cage will be shooting a multi-million film production in Cyprus.
The sci-fi action film, “Jiu Jitsu”, is directed by Dimitri Logothetis and will include a cast of well-known Hollywood actors such as Frank Grillo, Alain Moussi, Rick Yune, Marie Avgeropoulos and JuJu Chan. It is based on the comic book of the same name.
Cyprus Investment Promotion Agency (Invest Cyprus) announced the production, stating that it has come about following coordinated efforts to attract important players from the film industry to the island. Invest Cyprus notes that the production “is crucial for the development of the Cypriot Audiovisual industry and for the Cypriot economy as a whole as it is a significant investment with multiple benefits that will promote our country around the world”.
The Cyprus government has given Invest Cyprus the exclusive responsibility for the reinforcement of the Audiovisual Industry and the Chair of the Incentive Plan Application Committee (EASO) in the country.
