Actress Yeo in the role of sister Rebecca

Malaysian actress of Chinese origin Michelle Yeo in a fantastic picture of the Frenchman Kassovitz got the role of the Kyrgyz nuns Rebecca. That's how it is sometimes complicated in Hollywood movies!

Michelle Yeo is a very interesting biography: she was born in Malaysia, but her parents were a pure ethnic Chinese. As a child, Michelle studied ballet, and later modern dance. Parents personally took her to the age of 17 to enroll at the London Academy of dance. But due to a spinal injury, he lost the opportunity to perform at the best ballet stages of Europe, so the future actress moved quickly and started to break in the modeling and film business.

Depardieu in a fantastic picture Kassovitz played a Russian named Gorsky, which, by the way, the actor does not for the first time: he also played Grigori Rasputin in the Russian film "Rasputin" and Zhora in the sitcom “Zaitsev+1”. So in the picture Kassovitz Gerard, probably practiced in front of a whole string of “Russian” role in the future.

However, the famous Depardieu does not display these characters. People from around the world speak French actor as a performer of the main roles in the comedies "Between the angel and the devil” directed by Jean-Marie Poire, “Unfortunate” and “Dads” Francis Weber, as well as Obelix from the family films "Asterix and Obelix”.

But cooperation with Russian filmmakers did not go to Gerard without a trace: he is so attached to Russia that, in 2013, even received Russian citizenship. And later abandoned by the French, justifying his decision by the fact that the current France with its values does not inspire him. Despite provocative statements Depardieu, the actor is very happy to invite you to the shooting in the French and European cinema in 2015, Gerard appeared in the melodrama “Valley of love”, in 2016, will star in the Italian film, “Creator: Past” and will play a major role in the Russian film "Sports without borders”.

This machine invented by Dr. Arthur Darquandier, whose image is embodied and Lambert Wilson. But then a scientist separated from his “invention”, and only after many years, he has the ability to help Turepu and Aurora to nurture a new human race, created in the likeness of the girl.

Other performers

Also in the creation of Mathieu Kassovitz you can see the French professional athlete named Jerome Le Banne. Jerome – a great master in kickboxing and Boxing. He was invited to the project to participate in the spectacular scenes of fighting.

In Addition, in the frame appear such actors as mark strong (“Robin hood”), Dmitry Voronkov, David Belle (“Malavit”) and Jan Unger (“the Bloody Countess - Bathory”).

As you can see, the cast picture is not so bad, so the cause of the failure of the project, Kassovitz is difficult to call. Likely to disappoint a script that even in the form of annotations looks extremely implausible and sometimes even absurd. And if you believe what is happening on screen is difficult, therefore, the misadventures of the main characters will leave the viewer indifferent.
