"For more than a year ago, Timur Bekmambetov spoke about his plans to remove the modern adaptation of the" auditor ", in which the officials of the provincial town of Upper boots take the chance of a young man for the investigator accidentally," says one of the producers of the film Maria Zatolovskaya. - The next day we were called to the Investigative Committee. Its representatives really liked the project and they offered their advisory services. At the same time, we had an idea to remove in the film Vladimir Markina, and in the course of working on the film there was a suitable role. "
Filming with the participation of a representative of the state official was completed early in the morning of June 25 in Khimki on the 15th floor of an elite business center. According to the plot, there is a Cabinet of the Investigative Committee, where the self-served investigator Vanka performed by Alexei Werekkin is found with real employees of the SC. Character Vladimir Markina asks the hero of leading questions, trying to understand who sits in front of him - an unlucky passage or a confused young man.
Major General Justice Vladimir Markin was punctual and accurate - arrived at the site exactly to the appointed time, it became easy to enter the role, a few comments by the director Alexander Baranova listened carefully and in general demanded no longer participation than other actors. As a result, shooting scenes managed to put in the planned two hours. Special preparations for the role of Vladimir Markina did not need - its screen image was almost identical to real.
"The movie for me is not that a completely unfamiliar thing, since I already have experience in shooting in several TV shows. But I would have risen if I said that it was not nervously nervous before the shooting, "Vladimir Ivanovich shared. - Of course, a certain excitement was - as in any person who starts something unfamiliar, who did not like his usual tasks. But all the nerves - to the team "Motor!" With the beginning of the shooting, the excitement goes into the background, and you just start working - just as I work to television cameras when I fulfill my immediate duties. In addition, I have extensive experience in television. The only thing that in this case gives some discomfort is what you read not your text. "Fool's Day" is a comedy, and to my participation in it should also be treated with humor. By this we want to show that in the investigative committee everything is in order with self-irony, that there are perfectly adequate and normal people here - the same as in any other organization in the country. With all the seriousness of the tasks that daily get up to our department, it is important to treat everything around with humor. Because a person who does not know how to laugh at himself is doomed to failure. "
