Angelina Jolie moves to the Hungarian capital

As we have reported HERE, the Oscar-winner Angelina Jolie will be moving to Budapest in just a few days. She is going to spend around three months in the capital. Her new film will be about the life of celebrated opera singer Maria Callas. A browse through the Hungarian Opera House’s official website reveals that there are at least 15 days in the next three months with no performances announced. In some periods, there are several consecutive days with empty schedules. The Hungarian State Opera House confirmed that the filmmakers had indeed approached the institution, but the representative of the Opera House said:

Without authorisation, we cannot give any information about the possible filming.

Filmmakers love the Hungarian capital

Budapest has been the setting for many world-class blockbuster films. However, in many cases, Budapest was used to portray another city. It has been Paris, London, Berlin, Buenos Aires and New York. Therefore, many celebrities come and go all the time. So far this year, Alec Baldwin, Ice Cube, Dave Bautista, Benedict Cumberbatch and Adrien Brody filmed in the Hungarian capital, just to name a few from the long list.
