Two-time Oscar nominated actor Nick Nolte has been cast as a lead in Arcadia Lost, an independent film from Chambers Productions movie division that began shooting September 1, 2008 in Greece. Nolte will star as Benerji, an ex-patriot American who meets Haley Bennett (Charlotte) and Carter Jenkins (Sye), two stranded teenagers wandering after an auto accident. Filming will take advantage of Greece’s ancient and modern landscape, expertly captured by Phedon Papamichael (W. , 3:10 to Yuma, Sideways, Walk the Line), one of Hollywood’s best known cinematographers. The five-week shoot directed by Phedon will be Papamichael’s fourth directorial project. Parts of the movie are filmed in Leonidion, a Greek Village that the director calls “paradise”. Papamichael also owns a house in the area.
Born in Athens to Phedon Papamichael Sr., an art director, gives him a lifetime of unique perspectives in telling this story. Arcadia Lost’s production is supported by Top Cut, one of Greece’s premier production companies.
Arcadia Lost can be followed by film fans on a social website, “Follow A Film” on Facebook. Social media trends are important to film marketing and Chambers is pioneering this site to bring filmmaking to everyday moviegoers around the world. Arcadia Lost is a co-production of Chambers Productions with Roadworks Pictures.
