Oleg Taktarov about Blizhniy Boy

Below is a piece of interview with the one of stars of the movie-Oleg Taktarov:

Question: According to IMDB, back in 2006 you finished doing the "Blizhny Boy - Ultimate Fighter" film, where besides you, there were other stars, such as Gary Busey, Eric Roberts, a mixed martial arts champion Cung Le, David Carradine, and even legendary Bolo Yeung. And as of yet, there is no release date on the film. Please tell us how did the shooting of this film went on, who had the biggest impact on you? What should viewers expect, when the film will finally be shown?

Oleg says: Its a good, quality B-movie. Somewhat similar to those, people used to watch in the early 90s, the ones with Van Damme for example. I play a good guy, yet i am not the 1st on the list. I agreed to do the film, because the producer was my friend Eric Ialgashev, one of the new Kazakh producers, who actually made something outside of his own country. Other thing is that in Kazakhstan, even money sometimes can be political, so he cant finish the film, since sometimes "taking money" from the wrong people can cause problems. The film itself is very patriotic, the Kazakh officials made some huge efforts to make finish the film. I am sure fans of the genre will enjoy it, once it comes out.
