Universal still hasn't fully paid the Swedish Viking ship used in The Odyssey
(I wanted to post this on r/TheOdysseyMovie but I had to little karma...)
The Swedish Viking ship Glad av Gillberga, which appears in Christopher Nolan's film The Odyssey, was rented to the production by a small non-profit association in Sweden.
According to the agreement with a Universal subsidiary, the ship was rented for six months. The production also agreed to pay for wear and tear, which was assessed at 60,000 SEK (around $6,000 USD).
However, the association says they still haven't received that payment.
He explained that all they can do is keep emailing Universal because they simply can't afford to take such a large company to court.
It's disappointing to see a major Hollywood studio allegedly leaving a small volunteer-run heritage organization waiting over what is, for them, a relatively small amount of money.
