In November, shooting of the movie “Major in Dubai” began in Dubai with the support of the local Dubai Film and TV Commission. This was reported by the press service of the Kinopoisk service.
This is the first major international project of the Yandex production center in the Maghreb and Middle Eastern countries.
How clarifies Priluchny was caught in a sandstorm during filming, kp.ru reported, citing its source.
“At one point they filmed him in close-up, standing on a platform, blown by a fan, and a stream of sand from a special machine flowed directly into his face for a long, long time. This is how they simulated a sandstorm; It’s not an uncommon sight in Dubai, and the group in the desert even captured one of them, although it wasn’t as violent as those featured in the “Mission: Impossible” or “American Sniper” movies, the newspaper quoted the source as saying.
Returning to the role of Igor Sokolovsky, Priluchny allegedly tried to perform all the stunts on his own, without resorting to the help of stuntmen.
The director of the project was Egor Chichkanov (series “Easy Rink”, “Hello Again!”, film “Yolki 11”).
In the continuation of the series, Igor lives in Sochi with his daughter Sonya (Vitaliya Kornienko), but he interrupts his quiet life to save a friend who suddenly leaves for Dubai to get rich quickly. Sokolovsky is inevitably dragged into an international scam.
Dubai Film and TV Commission said it was pleased to cooperate with a major Russian film project.
“Our participation and interaction with the Dubai infrastructure increases our ability to effectively support major international film shoots. We are proud to literally host “Major in Dubai” in Dubai and see this as the beginning of long-term cooperation with the Russian market,” the Commission said.
