A new skateboarding film titled 50/50 is heading to Greece, with production expected to begin in February 2027.
According to reports, around 90% of the movie will be filmed in the country, according to a report by Proto Thema published on November 9, 2026.
The film follows a young Greek-American skateboarder who dreams of competing at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics.
After his parents separate, he returns to Greece from the United States, where he meets an accomplished skateboarding veteran who helps him find direction through skating and life.
The cast will include an international actor alongside Greek performers. The project has also secured funding from EKKOMED, Greece's state body for film and audiovisual production.
Behind the production is Greek-American producer Tsonakas and his company Gold Tree, whose previous projects include Lear Rex, starring Al Pacino, and Johnny Depp's Modì, Three Days on the Wing of Madness, which also features Pacino.
Tsonakas is also reportedly planning a much larger investment in Greece, including five film studio complexes, television production and other business ventures. The plans remain in their early stages and have yet to receive official confirmation.
If the investment goes ahead, it could create more opportunities for Greek filmmakers, actors and production crews while attracting additional international projects to the country.
