New 2023 Films To Inspire Your Travel
From book adaptations to popular franchises, sequels and prequels, if your travels are inspired by your favourite movies, UTracks has collated below six of the most exciting new films for 2023 that will take you all over Europe…
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny | Scotland
In his final portrayal of the swashbuckling archaeologist, the fifth, long awaited Indiana Jones movie sees Harrison Ford racing against time to retrieve a legendary artifact that can change the course of history. Dubbed as one of the most expensive films ever made, it was shot across a global range of filming locations, including northern England and Scotland, which feature heavily in the film.
Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1 | Norway
The seventh instalment in the popular film series sees Ethan Hunt and his IMF team tracking down a dangerous weapon before it falls into the wrong hands. Known for its spectacular fjords, mountains, waterfalls and rugged coastline, Norway also provided backdrop in the previous ‘Mission Impossible’ movie (2018’s ‘Fallout’), including a memorable scene where Tom Cruise scales a sheer cliff face.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 | Greece
More than 20 years after the original breakthrough hit, Nia Vardalos and John Corbett reunite for the third instalment of the franchise, which was filmed on location, in capital Athens and on the island of Corfu. Described as a “heart-warming and hilarious trip full of love, twists and turns”, the film follows the beloved Portokalos family as they travel to a family reunion in Greece.
A Haunting in Venice | Italy
The third Hercule Poirot film directed by and starring Kenneth Branagh is inspired by Agatha Christie’s 1969 novel ‘Hallowe'en Party’, which has never been adapted into a feature film before. In a change from the original story, it takes place in Venice, where it was shot extensively, and sees the fictional detective, now retired, trying to solve the murder of a guest at a séance he attended.
Napoleon | Corsica, France
A new, epic historical drama directed by Ridley Scott and starring Joaquin Phoenix and Vanessa Kirby. Featuring no less than six major battle sequences, the film is a personal look at Napoleon Bonaparte’s origins and his swift, ruthless rise to power, viewed through the prism of his addictive and often volatile relationship with his wife and one true love, Empress Joséphine.
Wonka | England
Wonka is an upcoming musical fantasy film that serves as a prequel to Roald Dahl’s 1964 novel ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’. Focusing on a young Willy Wonka, played by Timothée Chalamet, it follows his early days as an eccentric chocolatier and how he came to meet the Oompa-Loompas. The film was shot in various locations across the UK, including Bath, Oxford and the Dorset Coast.
