Filmefex specializes mostly in makeup and prosthetics work. On "Hellboy 2," the company was involved in making a special creature for a scene that takes place in a troll market, as well as building statues and several full-sized replicas of the Golden Army.

"We have to prove ourselves on each film. The way it happens usually is that we get a smaller stake of the work and then when they feel we can handle it, they start giving us more. This was the case on 'Hellboy 2,' which we have now been working on since March." Say Ivan Poharnok Founder of the Budapest-based special effects company Filmefex

Filmefex, which has 10 permanent employees, collaborated with three other FX shops on "Hellboy 2": U.S. company Spectral Motion and two London-based companies, Creature Effects and Solution Studios.

La producción de Universal se encargará de "Hellboy 2", puede ser la primera pelicula a rodarse en el recientemente construido estudio Korda en Hungría. La producción a cargo del méxicano Guillermo del Toro ("Pan's Labyrinth") Será la más grande hasta ahora que se lanzará en Hungría. A pesar de beneficiar con un incentivo fiscal del 20%, Hungría ha tenido hasta ahora problemas el atraer grandes producciones del perfil de “Hellboy 2” porque el país careció de estudios de grabación convenientes.

Con la terminación de los estudios Korda de $124 millones, que se sitúa en una base militar abandonada 16 millas fuera de Budapest, Hungría se prepone ofrecer un alternativa viable a la república checa y cortejar a los E.E.U.U.
