The Corvins’ Castle was a host and a subject for many prestigious cinema productions (artistic movies, documentary
movies or advertising spots), here being filmed famous moments of the Romanian or Universal History (“François
Villon”, “Vlad Þepeº”, “Mihai Viteazul”, “Alexandru Lãpuºneanu”, “Michelangelo Buonarotti”, “The Damned Kings”,
“Vlad”, “Jacqou le Croquat”, “Blood Rayne”, “Martin Luther”, “Henry the 8th”). Which are the criteria that make
the Corvins’ Castle an interesting choice for the movie producers? The monument’s integrality, the generosity of
the areas within the precincts and the protected area of the monument, the architecture and the related services
offered by the urban environment and optionally by the rural one, located in the vicinity of the castle,
environment that preserves relatively well its traditions.
The advantages of movie productions in Hunedoara are multiple and immediate. Mainly, it is about the financial
benefits obtained by the castle, which will lead to the museum’s self-financing status as well as additional
resources that can be used to the restoration works. Also, the economic agents have benefits by offering quality
services for accommodation and meal demands related to the movie teams.
Until now the movie production represented the only way through which, for a short time, the castle is revived
with medieval life.
