HUNGARY, 2017/03/11
Recently, some of Hollywood's hottest stars, inclunding Ryan Gosling, Jennifer Lawrence, Harrison Ford, and Charlize Theron, were seen filming on location in Budapest.
Hungary continues to make a name for itself on the movie-making schedule as a popular country to shoot films. It came to prominence with Wes Anderson’s ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’ film, which is believed to be inspired by what is presently Corinthia Hotel Budapest.
Hungary is very attractive to Hollywood film producers because the country boasts well-trained professionals, national-of-the-art studios, and relatively low labor costs. Furthermore, Budapest’s wide-ranging architecture can pass as Paris, London, Rome, or Berlin, and occasionally even New York.
