thank you eso. do you know if this is in being filmed in the streets, I love the fact that American films are filmed more and more in European capitals it makes it more interetsing. keep us posted, I know that it will be filmed some parts in the streets of chicago in August Jolie will drive a VIPER lots of action. Thank you my friends
Probably yes (but they mostly close a few streets, so nobody unauthorised isn't permited to come). And it seems that in this movie they even will say it's really Prague. Not for example as in Casino Royale, where it was like "Miami" International Airport or "Montenegro" small city square (with forgotten sign in background with Czech text ). Or as in - From Hell, Bourne Identity, Van Helsing, XXX, Shanghi-Knights, Eurotrip, Hostel The Illusionist, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Hellboy etc.
Hi eso again, are you in the movie business? why do you think they chose this film to be shot in Prague?? do you know the story about this movie.
No, I'm not in movie business, I'm only fan of movies. Main reason for choosing Prague (or rather whole Czech republic) for filming are: - lower costs (especially in USA are very high expenses due union) - experienced movie professionals - good technical background (Barrandov studios) - attractive locations
And costumers, dressers, make-up people, set designers, properties builders, sound mixers, computer graphic studios, transportations, accomodations, catering... All these little things which together are probably more expensive than royalties of movie stars. On December 2006 Barrandov Studios have officially opened "Max" - a massive new stage. According to studio representatives, in terms of size the new facility is now the largest in Europe at 4,000 square metres. "Max" is also almost 14 metres high, which means it should provide room for even the most demanding of productions. I have seen in tv and it's realy impresive stage.
This is minor reason. Romania or Hungary is cheaper. Yes, this is a consequence of two other reasons - the tradition and excellent film schools (like FAMU). There is also plenty of excellent stunt men and a lot of people interested in soldier’s play. Yes, but not only studios, but also producers of film equipment (telescopic camera cranes are made in Plzeň, for example). Attractive for filming (castles, architecture of all West European styles; coutryside scenaries usefull for fairy tailes, historic films, fantasy…; depopulated military areas), but also attractive from the logistic point of view - it’s in the centre of Europe and nearby Germany, the most important European film market, and it’s much cheaper than Germany.
According to this article it is in Barrandov Studios. There’s still casting for it in this agency. I found no reservation of a public place in Prague City Hall’s reports.
Hey do you guys know of a any blogs or any site that we can share topics about people working in movie business in Czech Republic?
do you know what part of the city will be filmed? the movie WANTED ? I am reading this article looks like there will be too many actions.
Hi, yes, Angeline is in Prague with her family. She came yesterday and she will be here approx. 5 weeks So most of Prague men hopes that they will see her in real.
I´m fan of movies and if you have a stars as Angie and brad are, you have to be excited. I also collecting a signatures of stars but I think I couldn´t get these two because they´re so patrolled.
