This is the last bit of images I have left from our stay in Budapest. While we were there, we saw a movie set, with big banners on which "The Great Houdini" was written. Being a movie geek, I immediately looked up what was being shot, and discovered that the History channel was shooting a miniseries on Houdini called by the same name.

All of the actors and extras were dressed appropriately for the time period that is being portrayed in the series.
Lights are on!
I hope you enjoyed this small morsel of photos, that was left from the Budapest Series. If you would like to view the main series click here: The Budapest Travel Series

ReplyDeleteThanks for trying again. I had some technical difficulties, because I put quotations in my title earlier. I guess that somehow upset my template :)
Deletea interesting post again Mersad....... i like it very much.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Joop
Thanks Joop!
DeleteIt would be fun to "stumble" upon a movie set like that and fun to watch and photograph, too. I love your photos. I hope you're able to watch the series when it's on television.
ReplyDeleteI'll make sure to look for it, when it's completed.
Deletei would love to see a movie set, and never have. i like the photo with the period dresses. very exciting to see all this...
ReplyDeleteIt came as a surprise to us too. And I enjoyed it completely.
DeleteHow fun to come upon a movie filming in progress! Nice shots of the set.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda
DeleteHow exciting! I have made major detours whenever I see filming taking place :). Glad you have taken the time to share some photos!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to see life on the set, even if it was only from a distance.
DeleteWhat a cool find!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThe San Francisco Chronicle in Budapest: what fun. Now you MUST see this film when it comes out.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep my eyes on it when it comes out!
DeleteIt is fun watching the movie being made, I will have to keep a check the History channel so I can watch too. Great series, thanks for sharing. Wishing you a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting. If you find it before me let me know.
DeleteOh cool, what a great stumble-upon!
ReplyDeleteMersad, my world is getting bigger and bigger because of your photography and posts. It seems that I am traveling and visiting such fantastic places. These pictures are incredibly interesting to look at and they are well done. Great!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice comment. I'm glad to be able to provide these images for you all.
DeleteI love the architecture.
ReplyDeleteThey did choose a good spot for a period shoot. But then again, you can't even try to point a camera in Budapest somewhere and not capture something old.
DeleteDas war bestimmt spannend zu beobachten...direkt am Filmset so nah dabei zu sein^^. Klasse Fotos hast du gemacht und danke dass du es mit uns geteilt hast.
ReplyDeleteLiebe GrĂĽssle

DeleteYou got some super shots here Mersad, I have heard about this movie but didn't realize it was set in Budapest.
ReplyDeleteIt's not set in Budapest, they are just shooting it here. Maybe for tax reasons, who knows...

ReplyDeleteCiao

How exciting! I will be looking for this mini-series! A great many movies are shot in Hungary, aren't they? I remember when they made Cold Mountain (based on one of my favorite books) that it was shot in Hungary. At the time I was disappointed they hadn't used the rural American south, where the story is located, but Hungary looked very much like it!
ReplyDeleteYes, a lot of them are shot in Eastern Europe (especially in Prague)
