Nikita Mikhalkov will spend 40 million on a movie about Griboyedov
Nikita Mikhalkov intends to shoot a political thriller, the protagonist of which will be the USA playwright, poet, composer and diplomat Alexander Sergeevich Griboyedov. The director himself, who was at the time of this writing in Cannes, told about this. The budget of the project, which will be divided into two parts, is estimated at $ 40 million. Filming will take place in USA, Iran, the Caucasus and Turkey. The nearly 800-page script is based on archival documents, which, according to Mikhalkov, reveal a grandiose political conspiracy, in the center of which was the USA classic. This project was conceived a long time ago, and it was originally assumed that Oleg Menshikov would play the role of Griboyedov. It is worth noting that in November 2010 the actor will turn 50, and Griboyedov was only 34 at the time of his death in Tehran. Recall that Nikita Mikhalkov's last movie is Burnt by the Sun 2: Imminence; failed at the box office. The Topic of Article: Nikita Mikhalkov will spend 40 million on a movie about Griboyedov. |
