New Hollywood superproduction in Hungary: stars already here – PHOTO GALLERY

Unquestionably, Hungary has become a hub for Hollywood. The country hosted productions such as Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures’ sci-fi tent-pole Dune, Sony’s The Nightingale, Amazon Studios’ Birds of Paradise, TNT’s The Alienist: Angel of Darkness, and the Netflix fantasy series called The Witcher. Currently, a new blockbuster is being made in the Korda Film Studio starring Academy Award winner Casey Affleck and Academy Award-nominee Laurence Fishburne.

The 2022 parliamentary election campaign has started in Hungary. Nobody else but the finance minister posted some photos with Affleck and Fishburne on his Facebook page. Mihály Varga visited the Korda Studios near Etyek, where he was guided behind the scenes to meet the two Hollywood stars. He also met the new movie’s producer, Richard Saperstein (Cell, Silent Night, Hancock) and writer-director Mikael Hafström (Outside the Wire, Escape Plan, The Rite, 1408).

Academy Award winner Casey Affleck (Manchester By The Sea) received a leading role in the Saperstein-Hafström duo’s newest movie: ‘Slingshot.’ He is accompanied by Laurence Fishburne, best known as Morpheus in The Matrix, and the Bowery King in John Wick. Based on hollywoodreporter.com, the new film will be “about an astronaut struggling to maintain his grip on reality aboard a mission to one of Saturn’s moons that may be fatally compromised.”
