If it were for the willingness and excitement of Sergio Sa Leitao, director of the Rio Film, Hollywood has everything to open a branch in Rio de Janeiro. After getting parts of "The Fast and the Furious 5" and "Dawn" filmed in Rio, he’s been in New York this weekend in, with the mayor of Rio, Eduardo Paes, in a meeting with Michael Bloomberg, mayor of New York, hoping to win new movies that can be shooted in the city.
* Robert Pattinson and Kirsten Stewart, stars of "Dawn" left Brazil on Saturday, but the visit of the couple here was very profitable with a total investment of U.S. $ 3.5 million. There were $ 500,000 banked by the City Hall and the remainder by Summit, producer of the film. In the movie, the scenes shot in Rio and Paraty will have five minutes, completed with two postcard shots, which means, two shots of beautiful places around there. We are very excited!
