Konstantin Lopushansky starts shooting in Petersburg a new film under the title “The Role”.
      
      According to the film director, it will be a black-and-white historical picture about the post-revolutionary period.
      
      The protagonist is an actor played by Maksim Sukhanov. He gets acquainted with a soldier - his double, and when the latter perishes, decides instead of his own life to play to the end the life of the White Guard soldier, who planned to go to Petrograd (Petersburg) already seized by the Red Army.
      
      Konstantin Lopushansky got the idea of this film story as far back as 25 years ago, but initially Soviet ideology in the country prevented him from making the film, and later there was just no money for it. Now finally the filming has been started. The film budget is 2.5 million dollars. The Role may be released by the end of this year already.
