Angelina Jolie to Film in Budapest Again Soon
US actress Angelina Jolie will portray world renowned opera singer Maria Callas in a movie to be shot in Budapest from the autumn, directed by Pablo Larrain.

Jolie wrote, directed and produced the movie In the Land of Blood and Honey in Budapest in 2010.

Filming of the new movie, entitled Maria, will take place in Budapest between October and December.
