Closures expected in Budapest due to filming, Emilia Clarke and Keanu Reeves seen in the Hungarian capital
Change language:
Budapest is currently abuzz with Hollywood star power as multiple film and television productions have brought international celebrities to the Hungarian capital. The city is experiencing temporary closures and traffic changes to accommodate these high-profile projects.
Weekend closures for filming
This weekend, Budapest residents and visitors should be prepared for significant traffic disruptions. The Chain Bridge (Lánchíd) and a section of the Pest lower embankment between Eötvös Square and Jászai Mari Square will be closed from Friday midnight until 4 AM on Monday due to filming activities, Index reports. These closures will affect several bus routes, including lines 16, 105, 178, 210B, and 216, which will be rerouted via the Elizabeth Bridge. Passengers should note that some stops will be temporarily relocated or skipped.
Star sightings in the Hungarian capital
Emilia Clarke
The “Game of Thrones” star Emilia Clarke has been spotted in the capital, where she is reportedly filming her new series “Ponies”, according to Index. The show, set in 1970s Moscow, follows two secretaries at the American embassy who become CIA agents after their husbands mysteriously die in the Soviet Union. Clarke has been embracing local services during her stay: she was seen getting her nails done at a Budapest salon called YomTov nail art, though the Instagram post about her visit was later removed (however, it can still be seen on a fan page HERE).
My beautiful area of South Shore NS is often taken over by movie making folks, for Halmark movies, mysteries, cop shows (Jessie somebody) but we deal with it. Are proud that we can represent so many American towns, even cities and have the talent to bring the work here. When I watch Rex the German shep. help his partner solve crimes, it is the gorgeous harbourfront of St. John’s New Brunswick across the water from us that I am enthralled by. So seeing anything filmed in Budapest etc would have same desireable attraction for those of us who can’t be there.
Mr. K, Reeves is reputed to be kind, quietly extremely generous and in amongst the likes of the disgusting people we saw on an awards show recently, he is morally decent. Support his project in every way that you can.
