“Budapest has grandeur and a nice mix of architectural styles, along with an Eastern European exoticism that lends a wonderful mystique to the story,” says Sage. But Budapest, itself, became another star of the film. Meanwhile, abundant natural trees and vegetation effectively serve to soften the location backdrops for Paris, which filmmakers wanted keep lighter and wider in tonality. Buda, located on the west side of the Danube, is hilly, with winding cobblestone streets that provide an effective cheat for Rome. The city’s striking and varied architecture allowed Sage and Berry to utilize interesting landmarks and unique neighborhood characteristics to distinguish between the three capitals. SPY shot primarily in Budapest, Hungary, which also doubles for Rome and Paris. The bustling, unfamiliar environments of such famed capitals as Rome, Paris and Budapest add to Susan’s disorienting transition into the cloak-and-dagger fieldwork of international espionage.Ĭinematographer Robert Yeoman, Production Designer Jefferson Sage and Set Decorator Kelly Berry SDSA teamed up to bring a sophisticated depth to the look of this comedy/action film.
