Keanu Reeves Begins Filming in Budapest

Filming has officially begun in Budapest for the highly anticipated movie “The Entertainment System is Down,” reports Deadline. Swedish director Ruben Östlund has started production in the Hungarian capital, showcasing a real Boeing 747 aircraft as the central set of the film.

According to information from Imdb, Ruben Östlund confirmed in a podcast that the dark satire revolves around a journey on an airplane where the entertainment system malfunctions. This leads passengers to interact with each other due to the lack of entertainment options.

The main cast of the production includes big names like Keanu Reeves, Kirsten Dunst, Daniel Brühl, Nicholas Braun, Samantha Morton, and Tobias Menzies. The movie is a collaboration between Swedish, German, and French production agencies, marking Ruben Östlund’s second English-language film.

In addition to “The Entertainment System is Down,” the historical thriller series “Ponies” by Peacock streaming service has also begun production in Budapest. The series, set in 1970s Moscow, stars Emilia Clarke and Haley Lu Richardson as two secretaries at the US embassy who become CIA agents after a tragic event uncovers a Cold War conspiracy.

The booming film industry in Hungary, with film expenditure two and a half times higher than the European average, is attributed to the country’s favorable state tax incentive system. This, along with professional traditions and infrastructure, has made Hungary a competitive hub for global film production.

As foreign productions continue to choose Hungary as a filming location, the country’s film industry is expected to thrive with the support of thousands of film workers readily available for projects.
