To be shot on locations in Morocco, Italy, Ireland, and Scotland, it narrates the story of Odysseus as he returns home after the Trojan War. Though he was victorious, he incurred the wrath of the gods and endured confrontations by malevolent figures such as the Cyclops, the nymph Calypso, and the witch-goddess Circe.
Logan Marshall-Green just wrapped production for Eli Rivera’s “Killing Castro”, a biopic about the 1960 visit of Fidel Castro to New York at the invitation of Malcolm X. Marshall-Green also stars in “Titan”, an upcoming action thriller directed by Mike P. Nelson.

He also plays a role in the third season of “And Just Like That…”, a sequel to HBO’s “Sex and the City”.
