In 2010, the film "The Dark World" was released, which tells about the adventures of students in the mystical northern corners of Russia. The picture quickly won the audience love, amazed with its mystery and innovation. This was obvious because the crew and the actors of the 3D movie Dark World (2010) did a difficult and interesting job. Special effects, beautiful locations and the amazing transformation of the leading actors in their characters made this project bright and unusual for Russian cinema. Today we would like to talk about the cast of the film and the crew.
Svetlana Ivanova
Demanding viewers were immediately hooked by the actors of the 3D film "The Dark World" (2010), because most young aspiring performers who had high expectations were involved there. The main character is an interesting girl, Marina, who stands out from the gray crowd with her attractive appearance, predisposition to mysticism and various magic. She was played by the famous theater and film actress Svetlana Ivanova. The girl is a native Muscovite. She was born in the capital in 1985 in a family that has nothing to do with cinema. Svetlana was going to enter the Moscow Art Theater, but she did not succeed. But at VGIK she easily passed, subduing strict teachers in the exam with her spontaneity and assertiveness.
As a student, Svetlana Ivanova began acting in films. One of her first works was the role in the sensational motion picture of Fedor Bondarchuk "9 companies". By the beginning of filming in the film project "Dark World", the young actress already had about 40 paintings. Ivanova notes that in life she is a cynic, therefore, having received a role in the Dark World (3D-film 2010), the actors of which we are discussing today, the girl did not have to pretend. Now she is one of the most sought-after young performers in our cinema.
Mariya Kozhevnikova
The opposite of the main character Marina (a girl named Victoria) was played by Maria Kozhevnikova, known to everyone in the youth series "Univer". She, like the daughter of a renowned hockey player, was first sent to sports - rhythmic gymnastics. However, the future actress quit classes, after several years of hard work. By the way, the skills of the gymnast were useful to Mary when she participated in the project of the first channel "Without insurance".
Kozhevnikova dreamed of being an actress. Therefore, after graduating from secondary school, she entered the Russian Academy of Theater Arts. As a student of the above-mentioned academy, the girl got the role of Alla in the famous youth comedy series "Univer". Later there were several serious works in full-length films, including in the 3D film "The Dark World" (2010). The actress now more and more often plays not pretty silly blondes, but strong women in historical dramas.
Sergey Ugryumov
Many viewers also remembered the vivid male roles in The Dark World (3D 2010). The actor for the role of the main villain of the picture was appointed famous Sergey Ugryumov. From early childhood, he wanted to connect his life with this profession and after graduation he entered the Moscow Art Theater. At first Sergey played in the theater, but then he was invited to the cinema. He fell in love with the viewer as an actor in military-historical dramas with a tough and strong-willed character.
Ilya Alekseev
In the 3D film "The Dark World", the reviews of which are very mixed, another young actor was involved - Ilya Alekseev. He played in a picture of a guy named Arthur, in whom the main character is in love. Initially, the future actor connected his life with sports and even studied for three courses at a pedagogical institute, but then he realized that it was not his. Throwing his studies to a teacher, Alekseev easily entered the Moscow Art Theater. At the very beginning of his career, Ilya got positive roles, although he himself dreamed of playing a villain. In the 3D film "The Dark World" (2010), the actor fulfilled his desire, receiving and masterfully playing the role of a negative character.
Ivan Zhidkov played in the Dark World by Marina’s loyal friend, Kostya. A promising Russian actor studied at the Moscow Art Theater, and Oleg Tabakov called him the second Sergey Bezrukov. Now Zhidkov starred in many Russian films and occasionally plays in the theater.
Criticism and feedback
The reviews in 3D in the Dark World format were different: the audience was delighted and noted that there had been nothing like this in Russian cinema for a long time. Critics were very skeptical. It is worth saying that the director, film crew and actors of the Dark World in 3D released the first project of this format on a wide screen. Perhaps it was because of this that it seemed to critics that the whole script was built on special effects, without which 3D can not be considered full-fledged. The genre of the picture also caused a lot of controversy and gossip. By the way, it was not possible to clarify this point to the end, because the plot of The Dark World develops in several directions.
Summary
In conclusion, I would like to say that, in general, the joint directorial work of Anton Megerdichev with the screenwriters Aleksey Sidorov and Alexander Dorbinyan turned out to be unusual and quite interesting. This debut still raises a lot of questions and remains at the hearing of film critics and viewers. In the meantime, the picture will not be forgotten.
