The scandal of the Russian-American film "Finding Tatu" (in the Russian field "You and I"), with a group of "Tattoo" filmed gathering pace. The main investor image Igor Desyatnikov filed financial claims producer Sergei Konov (cousin, uncle of the President of Russia Dmitry Medvedev and the husband of actress Catherine Rednikova). Yulia Volkova and Lena Katina and not fee for participating in the film. Sergei Konov denied the report in the media, but Igor Desyatnikov will find out the truth in court. Intermedia correspondent asked some questions to Igor Desyatnikov. - First, to dot the i Who was officially "You and I" produced? What is your role, the role of Sergei Konov? - In 2006, Sergei Konov turned me with a proposal to invest the Russian-Hollywood project "Finding Tatu". Originally, the amount of investment was 7.6 million euros. Sergey Konov managed to convince me, the project seemed interesting, and I decided to invest. Laws was appointed general producer of the project, I was originally an investor and accordingly, the official owner of all rights to the film - that's my role, as they do not call me later in the press. - Money for domestic films are very serious. It hoped to recapture? Or the project was planned, unprofitable, different objectives? - Money is really serious. In addition, the amount of investments with an original 7.6 million then rose to 17.6 million Dollars. When first the chances of the "reconquest" investment and even earn high enough, then later, after repeated failure of all concepts and plans were all my actions to protect investments and save the movie directed "You and I" as a product. - So what does the same amount of cost in this movie? - After I put $ 17.6 million into the film, it became clear that a film and an increase in the estimates could go on forever - as a result, I have stopped funding. Mr. Konov situation, the money will be at the project end. Overall, the film's budget was $ 20 million (this volume, full accountability, I do not). In which courts appealed to this story - What's the latest news from the court and the judicial perspectives? - The suit was filed in Presnensky District Court. Currently, at the request of a judge to clarify the circumstances of my lawyers and the facts in the application. Legally outlook is very serious - we produce revenue Mr. Konov get money, money is not held in the accounts, and therefore there are reasons for the legal prosecution of Mr Laws. In fact, this revenue debt obligations. A debt must be repaid. - Is there interest in the case abroad, whether it illuminates the press? - While we do not come with their claims outside the Russian jurisdiction, as many participants in this project and not less confusion caused, not least, the leadership of Sergei Konov. Currently we deal with all the circumstances and analyze our existing accounts. According to the results it is clear to further judicial perspective. - How do you assess the results of rolled steel in Russia, if the movie presented in the Russian TV? Expect to have to rent a movie in the West? - Car in Russia in general, a very difficult thing. As is evident from the statements of traders, the film grossed nearly 1 million dollars - a lot of it, but of course it is not up to our expectations. Not least, this is a malfunction of the deadlines image. In my opinion, the only chance to save the movie - it is to sell to a Western company. Let me explain - at first I did not have to do it, but the situation was such that we could sell the movie. Good news - the negotiations with the British Department of Icon, an interesting perspective, but still at a preliminary agreement. - Do not have a sour relationship with a group of "Tattoo" and writer Alexei Mitrofanov, after all this history? What is your role and position? - And why should it go bad? On the contrary, we are grateful for such participation and patience. Our demands are directed especially to Mr Laws. - And the last. It is no secret that Sergei Konov - uncle of President Dmitry Medvedev. The situation was in any way involved administrative resources? - It's no secret. But this fact in no way changes our legal position. It is possible that the administrative resources are used, but we do not feel.
