Charleston native Akim Anastopoulo is the star of Eye for an Eye, a People’s Court spin-off in which the popular local lawyer is nicknamed “Extreme Akim” and wields a baseball bat on which is emblazoned the word “justice.” It’s among the worst of the judge-oriented shows, I’m told. Don’t take our word for it. See for yourself.
At any rate, Anastopoulo is also the head of a television and movie company called Atlas Worldwide Syndication and Distribution. The company announced yesterday that it has completed work of what it claims is the largest movie studio in South Carolina in Hollywood, S.C.
Located in downtown Hollywood, the studio is a four-stage, three-acre facility that will open on Aug. 1. It’s already being used for pre-production work and has a high-definition “camera package.” Future renovations will include an additional 20,000 square feet to the sound stage.
Anastopoulo says he plans to move filming of Eye for an Eye to his South Carolina site. We’re certain Extreme Akim is dedicated to bringing filmmaking to the lowcountry that’s as high a quality as his television show (which, by the way, is hosted by none other than Kato Kaelin, a surfer dude famed for his role in the O.J. Simpson trial).
