Seriously why would Hollywood want to film a sequel to a classic movie in Hungary. What happened to Burbank studios california where the original was filmed.

Obviously it's because they got some financial breaks shooting there but it's also because the studio they're using in Hungary is among the newest and biggest in the world.

It's cheaper I guess.

What's missing in movies is same as in society: a good sense of work ethic and living up to ideals.

Because it was cheap AF to shoot there.

War, what is it good for?

Because it has actual cool looking buildings not just the *beep* you have in the US.

Also the studio they're using has a NY street backlot (a leftover from Hellboy II I think), so I guess they'll be redressing that for some scenes.

Beats green screening everything I guess.
