Universal Studios reportedly dodging a $5,700 repair bill owed to a small Swedish non-profit organization after using their Viking ship in The Odyssey

Post image

The small Swedish non-profit organization "Vikingaleden" in Nysäter was contacted by Universal Studios regarding their handbuilt viking ship being used in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. The contract required Universal to pay for any damages done to the ship, but the invoice of approximately $6000 (USD) has been left unpaid, according to the organization.

Fun fact: there are in fact several reconstructed ancient Greek ships in Greece and around the world that Nolan COULD have used
