In Bulgaria, the shooting of fantasy-melodramas "Dragons" on the novel of famous fans of Sergei and Marina Dyachenko started. The main role in the film On the Forbidden Love of the Young Man's Dragon and Kidnamed, the Son of the famous actor Alexander Lykov ("Streets of broken lanterns", "Turkish Gambit") and the first man-supermodel of Russian origin and the first man-supermodel of Russian origin. Dragons will be the debut in big cinema for him.
In his 27 years, Matvey managed to be attended with Model Agencies of New York, Paris, Milan, London and Tokyo, to become the face of Advertising campaigns Gucci, Cerruti, Jil Sander and a member of the posts of leading trendy houses in Europe. The inventory of the Paris International School of Cinema and Television, Lykov removes its own videos and actively removed from others - including in the clips of the French musician Woodkid. In one of them, on the song I Love You, a young man, I noticed the producer of the film Timur Bekmambetov: "Matvey is the perfect candidate for the role of a dragon, he has an alien appearance, on the one hand, aggressive, on the other - very posing: it stands to smile, As he starts literally glowing from the inside. "
Despite employment, Matvey immediately agreed to participate in the project and for the sake of the shooting reanged his dense model schedule: "I literally grew up on the Acts of Timur, who launched a new wave in Russian cinema - I always wanted to work with him," the actor admits me. "And, of course, a script fascinated me: he immerses you into the magic world, with whom I do not want to part. The meaning of the existence of my Hero Arman for a long time remains a mystery to him. And the more interesting to go with him a difficult path search for answers. "
The beloved of the Dragon Man Miroslav plays a young actress Maria Podzzhaev. .
According to the plot, in the midst of the wedding, the dragon kidnaps the Dragon, having belonged to his castle on the island. In the past, relatives, the groom, now only the stone captivity in the strange company - a rickety rifle and mysterious young man ... But who he and how was it on the island? She will reveal this mystery too late: the love of him, a dragon, will be wrapped in torture for them ...
The role of the beloved man-dragon Miroslava performed the young actress Maria Perezzhaev, who played the best debut film "Kinotava-2014" - "Correction Class". In addition to the direct partner, it has to interact with a traveling - a creature, which, like dragons, will be created using computer graphics. His prototype will be the Madagascar animal of Aye-Aya, who will receive some unusual features.
The decoration for filming was the Bulgarian cave of passage, which bypassed competitors from Italy, Thailand and South Korea. .
"For me, these are the first shooting, which are conducted with future special effects - shares the impressions of the actress. - First we pass the stage, we understand where the actors are located on the staff and how the computer character will move, after which the labels are placed and at some point we need to respond to his invisible movement. I strongly use the etudes that we put in the Studio School MCAT: Like these shooting, they demanded a huge work of imagination. Another feature of the project is the abundance of tricks. Already in the first days I had to climb on the stones and branches, and then fall from them. Of course, there are cascaders on the site, which will force on the right moment, but I strongly helped me a lot of climbing lessons that I took before leaving. This allowed me to feel more confident and more comfortable. "
A whole fantasy world has been created on the set. His center was the sinister castle, which serves Armana a giant fossil skull of his ancestor. The decoration for filming was the Bulgarian cave of passing, which bypassed competitors from Italy, Thailand and South Korea due to its unique column with two symmetric openings in the form of an eye.
Maria Peszaeva: "In the first days I had to climb on the stones and branches, and then fall with them." .
However, getting permission to shoot in the cave was quite difficult. A few months before their starts, a large-scale Hollywood Action with an abundance of pyrotechnics was shot in a similar area of Bulgaria, because of which the local volatile mice population was injured. As a result, the shooting group "Dragons" was put in tough conditions: the cinematographers were banned from the fact that the explosions - any actions that could somehow damage the cave and the surrounding fauna. Each stone that will be needed to move, at the end of the filming, you need to return to your place.
Shooting "Dragons" will continue on the Black Sea coast in the resort town of Sinemorets, and the Bulgarian stage will be completed on September 26, after which, in December, the group will resume work in Moscow. The Russian premiere of the film is scheduled for autumn 2015.
