Adam Driver, star of films such as Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015), Marriage Story (2019) and Ferrari (2023), was spotted enjoying some downtime while filming his latest movie in Budapest.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In town filming scenes for his new film Alone at Dawn<\/em>, Driver (a classical music fan) attended a concert at the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music in downtown Budapest. The institute, located in a beautifully ornate Art Nouveau building that\u2019s over 150 years old, offers both BA and MA programs. <\/p>\n

As reported on the academy\u2019s social media page, The Pilgrimage Years\u2019 Music Marathon event featured G\u00e1bor Farkas, a Liszt prize-winning pianist and F\u00fcl\u00f6p R\u00e1nki, the university\u2019s rector who is also a teacher at the institution. Three outstanding young students: M\u00e1t\u00e9 Pal\u00e1di, Ildik\u00f3 Rozsonits and Attila Szaniszl\u00f3 also performed Franz Liszt\u2019s complete piano cycle.<\/p>\n

The upcoming film Alone at Dawn<\/em>\u2013directed by Ron Howard\u2013also stars Anne Hathaway and Betty Gilpin. The feature centres on the true story of an Air Force Combat Controller, John A. Chapman and was adapted from a 2019 book by Dan Schilling and Lori Longfritz. <\/p>\n

Set during a rescue mission in the Takur Ghar mountain region of Afghanistan, the movie recounts the events of Operation Anaconda when Sargeant Chapman was wounded, his helicopter shot down by rocket-propelled grenades and machine gun fire. Although injured, Chapman managed to save 23 of his comrades by attacking the bunkers of al-Qaeda fighters. Tragically, while ensuring his Navy SEAL unit was able to retreat to safety, he was killed in the process. 16 years later, Chapman\u2019s widow finally received the military\u2019s highest honour for her husband\u2019s heroic acts. <\/p>\n

Filming in both Budapest and Maryland in the U.S, production is expected to wrap in early 2026. More details on the film can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
