Hungary’s Legislation Targeting LGBTQ+ Community Leaves Hollywood Film & TV Productions In Limbo
Several Hollywood movies and TV series are in production in Hungary, where legislation banning Pride events has been enshrined into the constitution.
This is the latest in a string of moves targeting the LGBTQ community in the country over the past several years, including a previous amendment that prohibits same-sex adoption and “child protection” legislation that bans the “depiction or promotion” of homosexuality to anyone under 18. A pan-European co-production, Ruben Östlund’s The Entertainment System is Down, which features American stars such as Keanu Reeves and Kirsten Dunst, also has been filming in Budapest where it built an elaborate airplane set around a real Boeing 747. Similarly, Sony’s planned Starship Troopers feature reboot from Neill Blomkamp, which doesn’t have a cast or production start date, has been exploring Hungary as a filming location but no final decision has been made.
