The picturesque island of Hydra has been transformed into a sprawling movie set as filming for the Hollywood production The Riders, starring Brad Pitt, hits full swing. Earlier today, the island’s historic harbor became the center of the action, with a full film crew taking over the waterfront.
Fans and locals were treated to a rare sight as Brad Pitt took to the cameras. On-set footage captured by Mykonos Live TV shows the Oscar winner filming an arrival scene alongside his co-star.
The duo pulled into the harbor aboard a vibrant, vintage 1980s blue-and-yellow motorboat, adding a touch of retro Mediterranean flair to the high-profile production. The presence of the A-list star has turned the quiet island into a buzzing international stage, with every minute of the production being closely watched by onlookers.
