An American gangster starts a business fraud where accidentally two Hungarian workers are also involved, who end up in a chippendale show in England – this is the starting point of one of the biggest Hungarian projects in production this year. The leading roles of Magic Boys are played by Vinnie Jones (known from several Guy Ritchie movies) and Michael Madsen. Experienced comedy director Róbert Koltai has also won major Hungarian stars (Pindroch Csaba, Szabó Győző, Hujber Ferenc) for this film which will speak mainly in English.

Hungarian director Bence Miklauzic has presented his first feature Sleepwalkers in 2002 and since then worked only on short films and documentaries. His second full length feature, Children of the Green Dragon (A zöld sárkány gyermekei) is already in post-production and is planned to be released this autumn or at the next Hungarian Film Week the latest.

Legendary Hungarian soccer player, Ferenc Puskás will be the protagonist of an ambitious feature project which is planned to be finished in 2012.
