Hungary’s popular 20 percent tax break for local shoots has not been effected by the changes. Vajna said the tax incentive has been essential in “keeping Hungarian talent employed on international projects during this funding crisis” but that he would like to make the tax break more transparent and easy-to-use. Hungary’s tax break is one reason Marc Forster picked the country as a location for his upcoming zombie thriller World War Z starring Brad Pitt. World War Z begins its Hungarian shoot this October.
Read more/discuss. Thanks Gabriella.
Also, Marc AND Brad picked Hungary because it is dear to him. He filmed most of Spy Games there and
of course it is where he was still photog in Angie’s Land of Blood and Honey.
Hungary has state of the art studios where many many films with special effects are filmed.
(from Helloy to Borgias, etc. etc)
I hope the family gets to experience Hungary again
though by Oct. it might just be studio shots without Brad. That we are not sure of.
They arrived in Malta(all8) this early morning.
