"The filming of this film, like any other business, is investment into Croatia. The producers have a budget for the film of four million kuna (540 thousand Euros), which they will spend in just two weeks of filming in Zagreb, Opatija and Rovinj. For this project they also employed our companies," said Maras, who met with the films producers this week.
"You dont need to talk about how much publicity this film gives Croatia. The photo of Naomi Watts in Croatia went around the world in thousands of media," added Maras.
