Which hotels is Hollywood considering to blow up in Rio de Janeiro

By Kathryn Lopez


This is a discussion that will talk about an apparent trend, Brazil's impact in the film industry is maturing. It's already been recognized that Rio de Janeiro will be hosting both the World Cup plus the Olympics. This in addition to Brazil's economic success has had a vibrant effect on the Latin country's logistical capabilities.

No longer just an area for a vacation or taking a holiday, apartments, flats and hotels are popping up that could easily provide accommodations to Hollywood's masses. Should additional big budget films show up to the shores of Copacabana and Ipanema. Over the recent past, Incredible Hulk, starring Edward Norton was filmed in Rio de Janeiro as well as more recently Stallone's Expendables was also filmed in Brazil. Potentially he'll be back to blow up a few more buildings and hotels.

After Elite Squad II, premiered at theatres across Brazil in early October, taking in a record R$14 million (US$8.23 million) at the box-office receipts in its first weekend. As the sequel to the 2007 hit there was a lot of hype and hope, while also presenting yet more evidence that Brazil's industry is not only developing, it is pushing inventiveness to the next level.

While Rio de Janeiro used to be just a place to take a vacation and visit the stunning beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema, it would now look that the type of real estate has improved. While it once was cost prohibitive for production companies to travel to Brazil to make their films it would now seem that the playing fields are evolving. Rentals of more sophisticated equipments are now readily available and Brazil now has resourceful professionals to bring to the table. The industry is clearly growing. The fact that professionals can be found who live in the country in their own homes and apartments can unquestionably lower expenses, such as the bills you are likely to have in hotels.

So is Brazil set to be home of the Latin Hollywood? May just be, at the rate that apartments and flats are being built, it's only reasonable that there is sizeable growth taking place in all industries of Brazil's economy. While the availability of accommodations is obvious, it can also be noted that efforts that can be made by skilled artists and workers is also growing. Without a doubt, the artistic efforts to the film industry originating in Brazil will be something to keep an eye on in the coming years.
