Producer Gevond Andreasyan admitted during the presentation of the family comedy “Manyunya: Adventures in Moscow” that one of the characters in the film will be the image of Yuri Nikulin. In this respect reports “Film Distributor’s Bulletin.”
As Andreasyan said at the presentation of NMG Kinoprokat, the creators of the film received permission from the family to use Nikulin’s image. The actor’s image was recreated after 8 months of work.
The film takes place in the early 80s, Nikulin should be one of the main characters of the story telling about the adventures of Manyuni and his friends. At the same time, Nikulin will not be featured in trailers and other promotional campaigns.
Son of the poet Vladimir Vysotsky in 2023 appreciated the idea to create the image of his father in the movie “Volodya” using the neural network.
“When it comes to technology, no one has done this on this scale before. Here again the question is how they will do this and how justified it will be. I am aware that such a study is being prepared, but I do not have much interest in it. “I wish the filmmakers success,” said Vysotsky.
