As previously reported, the actresses are currently shooting The Nightingale, a World War II drama set to debut next year. The sisters were seen walking down the street with a group of extras, entering and exiting a period-style pharmacy, and filming several sequences in transformed streets and alleys.
Dakota Fanning was also spotted with young children, suggesting that her character is a mother in the film. In The Nightingale, Dakota Fanning plays the lead role of Vianne Mauriac, who, along with her sister Isabelle (played by Elle Fanning), tries to survive in Nazi-occupied France while resisting the regime. The film is based on the novel The Nightingale, written by Kristin Hannah and published in 2015.
During filming, Szentendre’s Alkotmány Street looked almost unrecognizable. Restaurants and shops were temporarily replaced by a pharmacy, a pastry shop, and an old-fashioned market, transforming the Hungarian town into a French village from the 1940s.
After filming wrapped, curious bystanders had the chance to take a closer look at the set design and props. The inside of the pharmacy set had been carefully arranged with glass bottles and vintage medicine containers.
In another building, canned food products labeled in French could be spotted on the shelves, showing the production team’s attention to every detail.
The set would not have been complete without vintage cars lining the streets and extras dressed as soldiers, creating the illusion that visitors had stepped back in time.
