According to producer Gergely Fodor, shooting was planned to start on August 2, with all the permissions and locations already obtained and booked.
Weekend is a thriller about a Hungarian group visiting the mountains of Transylvania, Romania, and its script won several script-writing competitions. The film has completed pre-production. The producer told film.hu that they had to stop the production because the involvement of its partners was conditional upon the support of MMKA funding. Fodor now has a signed contract from MMKA guaranteeing they will finance the film in 2011 (with 72.5 million HUF, approx. 255,000 euros), giving the producers the possibility of finding other partners.
