  1. They seem to be busy in Hungary. I'm watching a Hungarian series in HBO, very good. Apparently they have what it takes to make them. I rather watch series than films, and the latter have less chances to reach a vast public. So, I'll be waiting for the Rise of the Raven.

    1. I really hope that they really do Rise of the Raven, as we haven't heard anything about the casting, but allegedly they do have the budget from the state itself.

  2. This one looks pretty good! I'd be interested to learn about their country's hero.

    1. Indeed. I live near Hungary and speak their language, so I'm informed about their movie business.

  5. While I don't know anything about Nandor Beretyann, he does look like a good casting choice based on his comparable looks alone.
