Director Alexander Shein, together with his wife Chulpan Khamatova, decided to write a script and shoot a biopic about the greatest poet of the Silver Age, Vladimir Mayakovsky. Beginning of filming is expected at the end of 2012.
Alexander Shein, previously known as the producer of the film "Euphoria" directed by Ivan Vyrypaev, created the script for his next film about Mayakovsky for about five years. The inspiration for the director and producer of the film was the phrase of Marina Tsvetaeva that "13 years, a man killed a poet, and in the 14th year a poet stood up and killed a man."
It is already known that Shein approved the top model Natalya Vodyanova for the role of one of the favorite women of Vladimir Mayakovsky. According to Lenta.ru, she will appear on the screen in the image of Tatyana Yakovleva, with whom the poet had a short romance in the last years of her life. The director also hopes that Lilu Brik will play Chulpan Khamatova.
At the same time, it remains unknown who will get the main role in the film. It is known that the director himself would like to open a new actor for the viewer, to which the public would not be biased.
According to information published on the website of the UNION acting agency, one of the producers of the project, Sergey Chliyants, stated that, in his opinion, two people coexisted in Mayakovsky at the same time: a poet and a seeker of the meaning of life, love and faith. Thus, the picture promises to become relevant within the framework of modernity.
As planned by the director, several historically significant parallels will be drawn in the film. He himself made a bold assumption that "all punk came out of our futurists, " because both directions were based on the tragic state of the soul. In addition, Alexander Shein also indicated a reference to perestroika, when most people experienced the same collapse of ideals as the great poet in his time.
The financial budget of the film is still a secret. It is only known that it is a private initiative, which should be enough to create a picture. According to preliminary forecasts, the biopic about the poet Vladimir Mayakovsky will be released in 2014.
