The Czech Republic continues to be a hot destination
for foreign movie production. New studios and soundstages have
been built. The cost advantage of filming in the Czech
Republic has Czech crews and production companies have gained
considerable experience over the years and Country locales have
been passed off as sites both historical and current. Sometimes
Prague is even cast as Prague.
