“The hero lives a normal natural life and suddenly encounters something inexplicable.

All key magical elements will of course remain in the plot.

I’m generally interested in the topic of superpowers, maybe it will turn out to let a little magic into my life, ”Rossiyskaya Gazeta quotes the actor.

"Actresses", "Kinopoisk" and Wink

In the project of Fyodor Bondarchuk with Svetlana Khodchenkova in the title role, the veil of secrecy over the underside of the film business will be lifted and some myths about the life of actors will be dispelled.

The audience will be shown what the artists are going through and what difficulties they face in their profession.

“Playing an actor for an actor is probably one of the most difficult tasks that can be in a career.

It is much easier to hide behind an image that is far from you and live in it.

Here I feel that I give the heroine a lot of myself, and I'm even scared of this.

This has its own complexity, but working on the character of the heroine is doubly interesting, ”Kinopoisk quotes Khodchenkova.

The script for the tape was written by Paulina Andreeva ("Psych").

“This is my first time writing a psychological thriller.

As a screenwriter, I tried to make the series as tense and unpredictable as possible.

And, of course, provocative, because it raises issues that are not very common to talk about in our society.

Is it possible to be evil?

How do you express your anger and aggression?

How to do it in an environmentally friendly way so that no one gets hurt? ”Komsomolskaya Pravda quotes screenwriter and showrunner Daria Gratsevich.
