Faye Dunaway Not Too Old in "Say it in Russian" Opening May 4th
HOLLYWOOD--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Old stars don’t fade away, especially icons like Faye Dunaway, who recently locked horns with Hilary Duff of Disney fame. Duff is reprising Dunaway’s Academy Award nominated role of Bonnie Parker in the remake of “Bonnie and Clyde.” Duff is correct when she says that her name will sell tickets, but it is doubtful that Duff’s reprisal will come close to Dunaway’s, whose Academy Award performances have catapulted films like “Bonnie and Clyde,” “Chinatown” and “Network” into icon status.
On May 4, 2009, Faye will have her rebuttal against Duff on the big screen when she stars as Jacqueline de Rossy, the elegant matchmaker in “Say it in Russian,” an award winning romantic thriller that debuts in theaters as part of Carmike Cinemas and Dalton Pictures’ Independent Film Series, produced by Imperia Entertainment, Inc. (Pink Sheets:IMPN - News).
Filmed in Paris, Moscow and Los Angeles, with exceptional cinematography and a fully orchestrated original score, "Say it in Russian" stars Russian actress Agata Gotova in the lead role of the film as Daria Larina. She plays the daughter of a rich Russian mafia oligarch played by Serbian actor Rade Serbedzija. Faye Dunaway plays the role of Jacqueline, a Paris socialite who acts as a matchmaker.
“Her acting was amazing, and she looks pretty hot in our film,” said Jeff Celentano, Director. “In fact, Faye proved she was no old lady on the set. When a fire sprinkler went off, the Fire Marshal tried to shut down shooting. Hiking up her one of a kind dress, made by the late renowned fashion designer, Oleg Cassini, especially for Faye, she waded through the water, giving cleanup orders to the crew.”
“Say it in Russian” has won numerous awards including winner of the Best Big Budget Film from the Myrtle Beach International Film Festival, a Silver World Medal from the New York Festivals 2009 International Film Awards, Winner of Best in Show from The Indie Distribution Fest, as well as the winner of The Indie Fest's Award of Excellence in Cinematography. The producers plan a series of red carpet gala events to kick off the theatrical release.
