today i'm lucky to introduce a new russian a film called the salamander to. even luckier than me because she was among the first few to see the movie. the mystical drink of life so let's join her at the site of the premiere in downtown moscow by well i should say that i'm lucky to be here today at the october cinema as i have a chance to taste some oic so why get it to justice why the world to me a program of the cell among the key. well here where they still exist. likes to play anyway build surf life is central to the films. one of the lead rooms is. a famous section movie star he's obviously to do it by the russian especially the male members of it has been on screen for such

a long time very popular has a great site fine action movie star i like him. he's a great actor love him since childhood fury well you know it was everything for us he's cool. he used to be a very popular actor some time ago it's a pity we don't see him very often on screen these days he's a brilliant actor. it was the nine hundred seventy three turkish delight during the off story often described as the best dutch film ever made would go how about actor internationally known the success played his way to hollywood in one thousand nine hundred eighty two he appeared in probably his most famous troll as an eccentric replicant in relief school science fiction three love blade runner. he was at the peak of popularity as an action movie star when the soviet union collapsed film starring howard who are part of the first wave of hollywood productions to flowing to the conference room where when we invited i was absolutely shouldn't be

a certain barrier between us after all i grew up watching his movies but we immediately found common ground down to be a pleasure working with regret. rude good howard is not the only stock that peering in this amanda q. which is premium to day one of the characters displayed by i'm not the holywood tough guy michael madsen the movie also marks the big screen debut for a russian heavyweight mixed martial artist for a very me on. the cell of mother he is a brutal action movie it's working title was the fifth execution of the director says it's also a psychological trauma well to get the idea of what it really is you only have to go to the cinema and see for yourself. thank you thanks that was you learned to me the sharing her impressions of what is promised to be the russian blockbuster of the year so let's follow her advice and go to the sabbath a movie theater where behind the wings were joined by are all together how are

ready to share his impressions hello mr howard and welcome to our program thanks thanks for being with us. so these salamander key has just been released and you played what i would call a significant role in this movie so did you really enjoy it but see well. this film only has me like i play this business man who is in some office who runs you know because basically it has to do with. the fact that he found they found a sort of a form of rejuvenating so if you go in that you get younger and younger or let's put it in very simple terms. you would go as you could would grow old as five and of course you know that's that's not

a bad thing to discover and. and to to try and sell it to people because. they wouldn't need surgery just a way and and. so but there's of course there's like a war you start a war at the same time because everybody wants it. and then at the same time which was one of my favorite scenes also was that he discovers that one of his scientists is also. discovered a new disease that will be cured by the same thing he's discovered a virus that can only be stopped by using the same. pill. and he. he so he discovers that he has two businesses now.

and it's pretty dangerous and pretty sick. last year you said you were going to open the film school in st petersburg russia how's it going did you manage to overcome all the bureaucratic a ha some of the the the red tape on the way all this for this project of yours well i worked with st petersburg for university and it works up there and. they were hoping to said. it wasn't related it was like different it was like a different bunch of people who wanted to try and set up a school for filmmakers i didn't hear back from them so i don't think it's happening but we were trying to see if we could. but i'm doing it anyway but it's not it's not based in a city necessarily i am putting this school filmmakers on the

internet and i am dreaming about shooting films through the internet. shooting them through the and be fantastic. i'm going to shoot the short film this year and i will add it to the internet so you know it's like a conference but editing you know a video conference but editing what do you mean just look at it look at an added together with a co-director and look at the end go and then you know say we talk about the you know differences and what you feel is wrong. this is the future we can sit in in the in new york and we can edit it and we can shoot movies and we can you know do all kinds of things was this the reason why you were going to open that film school in russia i wanted to see if there was a i wanted to see under looking for links but the link is nothing a link is

a link but if there's a connection that becomes real then i can work with it i'm hoping to do a workshop in poland because they are ready to take me or in denmark one of the two this year. and then the link then link them up with a few other countries who would shoot the same always while we're shooting but they need to organize themselves they need to have a you know it's not a big deal we're doing a short film it's simple but we'll do interactive stuff see how they are doing and in a way that becomes a study of how different you know one short film is if it's shot by different people in different countries and it's you know you can learn a ton of things over that time the things as a filmmaker if you have eyes you can you know so that's fun and the internet gives

us that possibility and i think be interesting to see what we come up with you once said that you really studied one aspect only want to aspect of acting in film making and it's about truth did the status. of play a significant growth in your from a should as an act no. i'm kidding i i don't think there is i think everybody can act ok and of course you can do training it doesn't matter what it is you do but by the end the day when i see you in front of the screen i don't care what you train but i love it i want to see i want to say i want to believe what you tell me and what what i see you do and if you came from the left or the right it is a matter of me my school and training come from shooting movies i did the acting school did not learn anything there what i did learn in acting school. was that i

didn't i was of a stage actor i realized slowly that sea interacting was great for other people but i felt completely uncomfortable took me four years to practice as a theater actor so i spent four plus four eight years training myself thinking i can do this i'm not sure why i don't know why i feel uncomfortable it's not their fault ok. then i got the chance to do a television series and then i went. this. is it ok. i just knew that i was not i did not have the right ingredients for stage

the difference is very simple this i don't know why but this system does not want me as an actor to project the projection goes just in front of the lens so i'm not going to just write there do it too far it's over that's the truth it's an illusion but is the illusion that we are you know together in stage everything has to become like. this yeah and i really feel it's sort of like a concentration it opens up and in film i feel that the concentration sort of goes into a sort of a quiet place not always but as an idea so you bring it down for anybody and any actor i can say you can do all the same things you wanted to do but bring

him inside because people read. people who read it not all but you don't mean to all people you want people who are of the same frequency more or less and you want you want to keep it open they call it mysterious to me is that mysterious but i think open is. the mystery starts on the other side for me you know that side that side that side . says it all got powered actor and director of spotlight will be back shortly after the break so stay with us we'll continue in less than two minutes.

well through the. years after britain's first flight the flames of species race original like new rockets need to do more on site private companies now enter the fight to explore the concept of skin care right species. on technology of. the future coverage.

welcome back to spotlight i'm mildly norvin just a reminder that my guest today is i don't get how are the famous actor director who's joining us live from the moscow movie theater where the first show of the movie the salamander key has just and it mr harwood in the nineteen seventies

off to turkish delight send the soldier of orange you were rates of the best actor in the netherlands you enjoyed a well deserved all european reputation so why did you decide to move to hollywood well i didn't go to hollywood basically the i got a chance to get into. english language work as an actor because i spoke english enough let's put it that way. and so we have what you need to if you go into this is not hollywood hollywood style waiting for me hollywood still not waiting for me hollywood doesn't exist once for me i'm the filmmaker that's not a hollywood they make certain films. that take me years to take that they years to do that. but that's not to me that's not where we live. it's just a different size product and it's safe is not dangerous it's not too sweet

not to salt not too much blood but the lid so it's like. it's almost like you know i can't swim give me a jacket those those that's hollywood movies they need to have millions of people to watch them to get their money back by that nature it means you have to tell very same stories how once a stories i want dangerous stories i want to pick your brain pick your hard tickle you but i don't want to do and say save for is safe is in the office or something and this is not the same profession you have to take enormous chances and do it gladly you know well you played

many you know hostie many to play characters like they choose for example your role in the hitchers how does it feel to play a sadistic crow for such a compassionate person as you are it's no but it's a keno. if you read a book and a writer writes like a dark story that you know it's not the this is not the writer is that the painter who's crazy because he paints a crazy painting it's a different animal it's a different language the stories that we tell come from somewhere else i mean actors i think tool i'm just a tool i don't even you know the director can look through my eyes and i'll look with it. you know that you just take a character it's a simple explain. it's like a little puzzle it's a digital puzzle it's not a house you're not building a house but you're creating

a character in a movie that's all we do and it has a beginning a middle and an end you know how it ends in life we never know how it yet what we know it ends but we don't know how we know what this is really so it's a simple package and this puzzle i think is really it's almost like quality i look at it like. you know it's very childish in the way i play i play with. sand as that's how i put together a director of course is right in there i say do you like this and this is basically a blade runner this is my key the key thing in blade runner that i learned other than the having a great time was if you have if you make a recipe for a character that the director feels is right then this recipe will

make it as full as you can. and then it will come out in different scenes as part of the character we can be all the time so as part of the character will come out and i think it's a great way. to parent for all where you just go ok where is the salad bowl let's put some salt in. i do x l ok morsel so it's like a salad you know characters really like a salad and then the scene will basically and the director will basically let things come out that are more important than the scene but is there a rule that you would never play. it's art also you know it happens and would i refuse art no. i have no problem in saying no to something if i don't like it i don't feel i need to analyze why i don't like it i

can but no ways no it's simple when it what's interesting is if you have two great projects that are yes yes' he can do a both so you have to choose the one. but that's where it gets that's where it gets interesting in. the easy part is no no creates space and i don't know why it is so hard for people to learn to say no. to best thing started when you're five you know daddy you know. because it creates yes you know. it's create the room for something else to come along and go. you can do this. but you know i think everybody starts with a no don't thing but i did it for long i think i worked on mill for like i know

that on the hansard for instance and that was eighty five who works with you for maybe. it's really you know yes eighty four. so i was eighty four so i was forty years old and i've done like thirty movie forty movies and i've been saying i don't like is i don't like this i don't like this i don't like this this is not that world there's a thought that character this is not a good director ever i was like a dog for forty years. and i was fighting everything and my so you know and it's not fair and the unfair to fight yourself that was but so i turned around a little bit funny you know when i was so the minutes or i decided to work in a different way. i don't know why i just got tired of. well according to your biography you've been saying no since childhood yeah i was in it's a natural but that's a teenager instinct i mean everybody says no for like ten years or seventeen but

then when the testosterone is coming you go you know you have somewhere to go let's say but it's this revolution no is the revolution but. i was busy saying no too much basically i think and basically my my and she was in everything i didn't like that's typical teenager i don't like this i don't like that you know of course my know basically was that i knew something to do my know always was this is no so is this no then this is next most people sland stay here but i always went ok if this is not nice then i'll go there and i'm a natural traveler period you know i travel i used to i move

otherwise i wouldn't be here would you say no to modern movies or colleges like the three d. for example no why not. know it the answers will be given by. how it's used i'm doing a film in three d. you know. with. gentle dracula three d. why drug killers three d. it's done for today has been done fifty three times i think well why not you know see i think it would be very scary to say the least is that your passion for experiments. it's the passion in my passion for yeah it is and of course you know diary. is not you know not it's a very interesting guy to work with and then the whole the whole dracula thing i love it i think it's. you know it's like dracula again ok why not he lives

forever don't you know but in three d. and three d. i'd like to see what i did it's definitely an experiment to see if it's true or as bill said is it just another trick or is it really work because i have serious doubts but i think it might work for some projects but i also think that basically it's millions of dollars have been pushed into trying to make you believe as filmmakers and as audiences three d. is just brilliant because they i think the big studios have about seven more coming and they need to come you had they need you to come to see the movies so they're promoting this idea and they didn't have anything else because they were writing strikes going on there was a crisis gone they didn't have the stories they like they were scared shitless and i think that's why they're promoting this reading is just two cameras there's not

it's not a big deal we had we can shoot you know seventy in this room was with seven ship cameras and you yourself would you make a film in three d. and three you know by the time i get there it will be five d. and the canon five d. is fine i prefer that camera still because it's so flexible and. this camera has limits any camera has limits and we have limits so you work with the limits but it's all make believe with nothing is perfect who cares about perfect perfect people in the. well let's stay alive thanks for being with us you're welcome ok. thank you i just to remind them that my guest today was not altogether howard actor and film director and that's it for now from all of us here if you want to have your say or spotlight or have someone in mind you think i
