Sequelitis invades Russia:
If this web site can be trusted, it appears that Georgi Daneliya, having just turned 75 years old, is working on a scenario for a computer-animated sequel to his cult classic
Kin-Dza-Dza.
What follows is the nearly unintelligible translation from Babelfish. Perhaps if we have any Russian-speakers here they can confirm or deny any assertions about this article, or shed some light on things that didn't translate.
The planet Of plyuk will populate the heirs Of shreka
Director Georgiy danelii today is fulfilled 75 years. On the eve of the anniversary the author with all of the dear film "Keen -Dza-Dza" described to correspondents "KP" that he is going to make rimeyk of his own tape, yes besides simple, but animated cartoon! Now it works with the entire command of animatorov, but nothing he tells about the subject of future mul'tika.
"thus far it is taken not one sequence, deceives by cunning director. - but work occurs to the utmost extent - we sketch, we sketch, write new music, invent new characters ". The heroes of new history about the galaxy "Keen -Dza-Dza" will become inoplanetyane. Daneliya it considers that some to chatlane and patsaki contemporary public will not satisfy, if not at all they disappoint. Violinist in our time proved to be it was not necessary. However, he, without having agreed, foggily concludes: "thus far about everything to say somewhat early".
His picture "Keen -Dza-Dza" Of daneliya in the eightieth was called "gloomy kinoutopiyey", today it answers about it somewhat differently. As director acknowledges, him suddenly stretched to the strange genre of fantastic comedy, to it came to mind the idea to show real newcomers. There are no not ideal inoplanetyan with the unthinkably high intellect, into whose of head the visionary- classicists put the inventive plans of the destruction of humanity or, on the contrary, wise manuals to kind human, Daneliyu did not entice the thought to screen one of the science fiction masterpieces. Did not please themselves it the contemporary means of newcomers - rough, severe and deformed monsters. To inoplanetyane had to come out present.
"I we posed to ourselves the question: what will reach the civilization, if it is be developed in the same way as as our? Appeared the planet Of plyuk, where the inhabitants destroyed everything, remained one sand..."
It would seem, this picture had to meet the mass of obstacles in Goskino. The then minister of cinema Of kamshalov, turning over the pages scenario "Keen -Dza-Dza", he said: "if this would be not your scenario, 4 this nonsense it would throw to read on the first page!" According to Danelii, Kamshalov there was great master on the part of "apparatus materka", therefore, certainly about its work he answered considerably more lashingly. As a result the officials, who not know were understood, waved by hand, and it was possible to neglect film.
On the surveys, recalls Georgiy Nikolayevich, continually occurred any absurdities: that decoration will catch fire, the pepelats will be covered on one side. By the way, pepelatsem was connected amusing history - instead of, sending of chatlanskiy flight vehicle into Karakumy, where surveys were passed, they drove away it into Vladivostok. To the searches for properties they sent the colleagues OF THE KGB!
By the way, conditions for the surveys were completely natural - in the sense that planet the Earth it was not necessary to strongly make up in order to become the planet Of plyuk - in Karakumy in the daytime the temperature rises to +80°S-+90°S - to work, it goes without saying, impossibly therefore film crew left on area in 6 mornings, but nearer to noon it returned to the hotel.
"in Karakumy it cannot be worked at noon, certain harmful electromagnetic radiation there occurs at this time. Everything calmed down in the desert by two hours, but we did not know and worked... - it recalls Daneliya. - desert to us was necessary in the virgin form, without everyone it was trace people and machines ".
Actor Yuri Yakovlev, who played one of the main roles, in film says that when Daneliya showed it scenario, he understood nothing. But not this was importantly. "me greatly it was desirable to be removed in Danelii. In any quality. However it me removed - backwards, by front, by side, through the head, through one additional place... To me simply this was terribly interestingly ". To Leonov, to chatlaninu, for that simply it was not necessary to be removed, as feared its partner Yuri Yakovlev, backwards - for this even it was necessary to improve the suit: Daneliya unearthed on the dump "piece some of marvellous cloth" and "it stuck on zh... To Leonov ". Furthermore, for actor it was necessary to pull on to the head of gul'fik, obtained By daneliyey in the fight with the scorpions on the same slop-container.
Georgiy daneliya took not one excellent film, his work "I step through Moscow" and "autumnal Marathon" - the incomparable cult Moscow cinema, to the "gentlemen of success" and to madly popular "Afone", which in its time assembled enormous cashbox, director places "five". "mimino" not at all it descended from the movie screens, and then it moved to the television. Yes, by the way, Daneliya adores the Georgian fault stamp "mimino".
The Georgian fault stamp??
I hope Ruscico hurries it up with their promised edition of
Kin-Dza-Dza. That film really needs a proper release, and Ruscico is probably about as proper as it can hope for.
