Crew for Christopher Nolan's film starring Matt Damon take over Scottish castle

THE crew of Christopher Nolan’s latest blockbuster have been spotted filming in Moray at a castle.

On Monday, the film crew were spotted constructing a fake building for Nolan's newest movie, The Odyssey, which will star his long-term friend Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, and Zendaya.

The film follows the journey of the ancient Greek king of Ithaca back home to his wife following the Trojan War.

Tom Holland and Charlize Theron are also linked to the movie, which is Nolan's most expensive of his career, according to reports..

The villages of Buckie and Cullen, where Findlater Castle is found, will also feature.

Filming for the movie – which is due to be released in cinemas on July 16 next year – started in February in Morocco. It has also taken place in Greece and Sicily.

“This also includes the closure of the Barnyards of Findlater car park during this period, which is regularly used for visiting the castle.”

A hotel in Cullen has also shared that they had been booked for accommodation for between 50 and 60 film staff.
