(NEWS) Danila talked @OfficialVAMovie & @RichelleMead on "Urgant Show"! HERE'S THE TRANSLATED PART by Cassey Cathasaigh on Facebook:

(Starts 14:16)
Danila: ... In the morning I don't always wake up at home, and not always there is a mirror.

Ivan: And about the fact that there is not always a mirror... We heard a rumor, and we ask to confirm it, that you are busy at the filming of some vampire saga...

Danila: Yes.

Ivan: Maybe, that's why you don't use mirrors anymore.

Danila: Definitely.

Ivan: What's going on? Tell me about that... That vampire story!

Danila: The film is based on the books of american writer Richelle Mead... Quite popular in the world, and, as comes out, also in Russia... We're shooting the first book from May till July, in England and Scotland...

Ivan: So it starts just now, and it's done: you are doing the role, fore sure?

Danila: Yes.

Ivan: How did this happen? It, it's your first Hollywood film, isn't it? Oh, for starters, is it even Hollywood?

Danila: Well... The documents say so.

Ivan: *laughs* How do I know, it may be Bollywood or the Dovzhenko Studios! What language do the producers speak?

Danila: English.

Ivan: English! It's definitely Hollywood. Okay, how was the casting process made, how did you even learned about it?

Danila: Well, my American agent called me, an said I should try for some film of American director Mark Waters. I said: "Well, of course I should try"

Ivan: Yeah, that's right.

Danila: The casting was in Russia at 10am...

Ivan: It seems that it was somewhere in the suburbs... It a rented apartment.

Danila: Joking aside, it WAS a rented apartment. A friend of my agent rented it and helped to organize the Skype-casting.

Ivan: So, you entered the room, and there was a computer...

Danila: Yes, there was a computer and a common camera.

Ivan: So, they don't expect you to have Skype at home?

Danila: I asked for some other place myself.

Ivan: Oh, okay.

Danila: So, exactly at 10 am, Mark Waters called me on Skype from LA and started to state some tasks for me, I told him: "Okay, gotcha", the normal camera was shooting me...

Ivan: How did you feel playing a vampire at 10 am on Skype?

Danila: Unusual.

Ivan: Strange casting process... Anyway, what did you have to do?

Danila: Well, I had scenes... With phrases.

Ivan: And you was looking straight into the camera?

Danila: Yes, I played imagining, that my partner is in the camera.

Ivan: *smiling* I'd like to know who was in director's apartment at that time!

Danila: *laughs* Maybe, a girlfriend?

Ivan: Maybe! "Hey, honey, wanna see how a handsome Russian guy is squirming to get a role in an American movie? Watch this! So, that was the only test and then you get the role?

Danila: Yes, there wasn't any more tests, and some days later Richard, my agent, called me and said that there is a good reaction on my sample...
*audience laughs*

Danila: Hey, I'm telling how it really was! Literally.

Ivan: Well, at least you showed them, that we have a great speed of Internet connection here in Russia!

Danila: Oh, and it was funny, when he asked to show him Russia and we turned the webcamera to the window, so that he could see the Red Sqare. And it was -30 outside...

Ivan: 30 degrees below zero?

Danila: Yeah. And he said: "Wooh. Let's start the casting".

Ivan: What kind of an apartment was it, I wonder!

Danila: There even was a small dog that disturbed me while acting.

Ivan: So, now all American directors think that the Red Sqare is seen from any window in Russia.
*both laughing*

Ivan: So you're playing this part for sure?
Danila: Yes, yes.

Ivan: Okay, I get it, there will be shooting now, and this is a tough process, and I'm sure the success is going to be huge! We were waiting for you to conquer Hollywood, so that we could come in your footsteps...

Danila: Yeah... I've already heard... You had a film "Three man and a snowflake"!

Ivan: They're talking about THAT film in USA?

Danila: Well, yes, they even want to do a remake "Two men and an icicle".
