Location Vienna – Hollywood in Vienna – Vienna in Hollywood
|
|
| Vienna’s imperial charm has long made it a favourite backdrop for filmmakers from around the world. Wherever you turn, the city offers a feast for the eyes — a perfect playground for screenwriters, directors, and location scouts alike. Its baroque palaces, adorned with sculptural detail, and its richly varied churches, towers, and spires lend an air of drama and fantasy that captivate the camera. On this tour, discover filming locations from international blockbusters such as Woman in Gold starring Helen Mirren, The Three Musketeers with Kiefer Sutherland and Tim Curry, and Mission: Impossible 5, where Tom Cruise famously abseiled from the roof of the State Opera House. But the story doesn’t end there — Vienna has also given Hollywood some of its brightest stars. From legendary directors and producers to composers and actors, countless talents have made their way from the Danube to the silver screen. Erich von Stroheim, Max Reinhardt, Otto Preminger, Max Steiner, Erich Korngold, Fred Zinnemann, Billy Wilder, Leon Askin, Peter Lorre, and Hedy Lamarr — all of them left their mark on film history. For many, Hollywood offered the promise of fame and artistic freedom. For hundreds of others, it meant refuge — a new beginning far from the racial and political persecution that once threatened their lives. |
