Korda Studios (in Hungarian: Korda Filmstúdió) is a film studio complex 26 km west of Budapest in the wine-making village of Etyek; hence the media nickname Etyekwood. It is built on the site of a former barracks.
The studio is named after Sir Alexander Korda, Hungarian born British film producer and director and screenwriter, who founded his own film production studios and film distribution company, Denham Film Studios in Buckinghamshire, England.
Korda Studios were inaugurated in April 2007. Altogether six studios were built from a total budget of 90 million Euros. It boasts a sound stage of 5,975 square metres (64,314 sq feet) which is claimed to be the biggest of its kind in the world. The „superstage” was delivered in 2009. The entire project was financed from private capital investment. The main shareholders are Sándor Demján, Andy Vajna, Peter Munk and Nathaniel Philip Rothschild.
Specialising in designing film studios, Bastien and Associates Inc. of the United States made the architectural designs and Iparterv Épülettervező Zrt. of Budapest made the permit designs and as-built plans. The investors originally planned to implement the project in three phases. The studios use the most developed technology and feature all supporting service facilities including wardrobes, make-up rooms and offices. The complex also has a 50-seat screening room.
The first film produced at Korda Studios was Hellboy II: The Golden Army of Universal Studios, directed by Guillermo del Toro. Most scenes of television series The Last Kingdom, originally produced by the BBC and later by Netflix, was also filmed here; in early January 2018, it will start pre-production for Series 4.[1]
