According to Producer Emile Sherman, the current Greek economic crisis will not affect the release of _The Kings of Mykonos: Wog Boy 2_ in that country. “The Greek distributors have not
changed their plans. It’s coming out in June for the beginning of summer,” Sherman told _Encore_. The film, which was shot mostly on location in the Greek island of Mykonos, is the sequel to
Nick Giannopoulos’ hit 2000 comedy. It will be released by Odeon S.A. in Greece on June 3. “In tough economic times people tend to go to the movies as it’s a great, relatively cheap form of
entertainment,” added Sherman. ADVERTISEMENT _The Kings of Mykonos _follows wog boys Steve and Frank travel to Greece to claim an inheritance. It was produced by Sherman’s See-Saw Films and
Giannopoulos’ G.O. films, with support from Screen Australia, Film Victoria, the Greek Film Centre, Odeon and private investment. The first film made $11.4m at the box office, and Sherman
expects a solid performance when Paramount/Transmission release it in Australia on May 20. “There’s a strong large core audience for the film, and it has lots of elements such as romance,
one of the world’s most beautiful locations, comedy and music that will hopefully broaden it even further. “Australia is such a multicultural country, and there are few commercial films that
really reflect that,” said Sherman. The film will be introduced to the international market after the Australian release.
