Bringing “Inferno” to Life: The Crucial Role of ORIGO STUDIOS in Budapest

In the heart of Hungary’s rapidly expanding film scene lies ORIGO STUDIOS, a beacon of Central European filmmaking, and a veritable playground for international productions. It’s here, in 2016, that the production of “Inferno,” directed by the legendary Ron Howard and starring the eminent Tom Hanks alongside the talented Felicity Jones, unfolded. This feature film, a gripping adaptation of Dan Brown’s global bestseller, capitalized on the world-class facilities and services offered by ORIGO STUDIOS, making it an exemplary case of successful international collaboration in the realm of cinema.

ORIGO STUDIOS, nestled in Budapest, stands as a testament to Hungary’s allure for filmmakers around the globe. For “Inferno,” the studios provided a one-stop production hub with its vast infrastructure designed to accommodate the demanding needs of a Hollywood-caliber production. The soundstages at ORIGO were pivotal, facilitating the film’s intricate set designs and complex scenes with utmost finesse. These soundstages offered seamless integration of production elements, ensuring that Howard’s vision was translated with precision and authenticity.

Complementing the technical facilities were the top-tier services provided by ORIGO STUDIOS. From well-appointed meeting rooms that served as the nerve center for the film’s creative discussions, to the Origo rental services that supplied necessary equipment with efficiency and reliability, every aspect was meticulously catered for. The trailers and office backlots were more than mere amenities; they were critical in maintaining the workflow and mobility required for such an intricate shoot. These facilities ensured that the cast, including Hanks and Jones, along with crew members, could operate in comfort, fostering an environment that prioritized creativity and efficiency.

Moreover, the workshops at ORIGO provided an arena for the film’s technical craftsmen to innovate and execute the production design that “Inferno” demanded. These workshops enabled the seamless fabrication of props and sets that played a crucial role in bringing the thrilling elements of the storyline to life. The support extended beyond physical resources, as local Hungarian crews brought their expertise and passion, enriching the production with a distinctive European flavor.

The strategic choice of Budapest, with its rich history and striking architecture, not only provided a unique backdrop for “Inferno” but also offered economic efficiencies paired with experienced local labor—benefits that are hard to ignore for Hollywood productions. ORIGO STUDIOS has leveraged these strengths, carving out a niche in the international film community as a competitive and desirable filming location.

As “Inferno” unraveled its mystery on the silver screen, the role played by ORIGO STUDIOS was undoubtedly a cornerstone of the film’s production narrative. This collaboration between Hollywood’s titanic storytellers and Budapest’s burgeoning film industry signifies a trend where creative visions transcend geographic boundaries, all thanks to the facilities and services provided by forward-thinking studios like ORIGO.
