Not everyone knows that the role of Pannochka in the film "Viy" was initially approved not by Natalia Varley, but by another actress. Moreover, with her already a significant part of the film was shot, when I had to change the actress urgently and reshoot everything again
When the directors Konstantin Ershov and Georgy Kropachyov took up work on the film "Wii", they invited a lot of wonderful young actresses to the test. Here are a few names, from those who auditioned for the role: Ada Rogovtseva, Elena Sanko, Zhanna Bolotova, Svetlana Korkoshko. But none of them did not arrange directors. Here's the little test that I managed to find
But when George Kropachyov saw Alexander Zavyalov, he realized that there was no need to conduct more samples - the actress was found
It was with Zavyalova in the main role began work on the film. But when almost half of the material was already filmed with her, the actress is suddenly changed, and all work has to start again
Why? There are several versions for this.
First: Alexandra Zavyalova was forced to abandon the role due to illness.
Second: She was busy on the set in another film - "Four Pages of a Young Life" by Rezo Esadze. And, sort of like, the director, who at that time had an affair with Zavyalova, forbade her to appear in another film until he finished the film. Isadze personally called Kropachov and asked to remove the actress from the role
Third: Zavyalova was considered unreliable because of the novel with the American businessman and she was removed from the role personally by Pyryev
In any case, the director of Mosfilm Pyriev, who closely supervised the process of filming, decided to invite Natalia Varley to the role of Panochka, who made her debut with Gaidai very successfully (the episode does not count for Khilkevich).
In her favor was circus training, because Pannochka had to fly in a coffin through the church, and computer graphics were not yet there
All the footage taken from Zavyalova was washed away. But you can still see it in the film. There was one episode that was not replaced and in which the role of Pannochka is seen by the original actress
Here is the shot from the movie.
