casting questions


Does anybody know why Shakurov being announced as Afranii, but not actually played this role?
I also noticed that Mogarich suppose to be played by Tolubeev, but been replaced by Bogachev. Gella have been taken by Tanya Yu instead of Shkolnik...
It possible that other original casting were replaced. So please tell: why?

I am just as confused as you are. And on top of it, I do not understand why
Master looks like Master but sounds like Sergey Bezrukov! OUCH.

reply

Regarding Bezrukov: I read the article where Bortko explained that Galibin's voice is not suffucient for Master (not strong enough?).

No sufficient enough? SO I suppose Master should sound like... Sasha Belov.
Perfect. Begemont should have sounded like Cosmos, and the movie could be
called WOLAND AND HIS BRIGADA! :)

Why are you so mad on Bezrukov? he is definitely a talented actor, much more than Master-Galibin.I also heard that Bortko wanted to cast Bezrukov for Master but probably his height was the reason to turn him down

reply

i am not mad at Bezrukov. He is one of my favorite actors, I just thought the whole voice thing was cheesy and unnecessary.
