toursenlair Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 The Benois de la Danse facebook page ( https://www.facebook...LaDanse?fref=nfI hope this counts as an official source) has just announced: Artem Ovcharenko, premier of the Bolshoi Ballet and the participant of the Benois de la Danse Youth Project, has been approved for the role of Rudolf Noureev in the film by director Carlson Smith. The shooting will be done by a team from London especially for the BBC. (The video is in Russian so I can't verify, but I'm sure someone on this forum can). Certainly Ovcharenko has a striking facial resemblance to Nureyev. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseybeatrice Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I read the title and immediately assumed that Ovcharenko had been cast in the upcoming Fiennes film about Nureyev. I don't know what this project is but excellent casting.As for the Fiennes film, I'm intensely curious as to whom they'll cast. Fingers crossed for an actual dancer! Please!!!

Naomi M Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 An unofficial (but apparently closely related) instagram account of Nikolai Tsiskaridze shows a photo of Ralph Fiennes visiting Vaganova academy performance at Hermitage Theatre. He might have been there for research of his Nureyev film. https://instagram.com/p/8VMclIne9t/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
