YEREVAN, OCTOBER 17, ARMENPRESS. "Armenia Production" company is
negotiating with actors and film directors known world wide to be
involved in movie "The Patient" about Archimandrite Komitas. In a
conversation with "Armenpress" chief producer of the company Valeriy
Saharyan mentioned that this movie initiates the beginning of a row
of new important projects by "AP Films".
Saharyan said: "Now we are negotiating with Emir Kusturica and it
is possible that he will be the director of the film, although this
decision is not final, we are considering candidacy of prominent
Czech-American film director Milos Forman as well". He said that
despite his immense respect and love towards Serbian director and
winner of a number of greatest European movie festivals Emir Kusturica,
he takes into consideration the fact that "arthouse" movie style is
typical for him and it is possible that it will not fully fit the
movie about Komitas.
Saharyan added the following: "Komitas's life story will be represented
in the film and the title also was not chosen accidentally as the
reasons why Komitas spent the rest of his life in an psychiatric
clinic are also touched in the movie".
The idea of this movie has been in the agenda of the company for a
long time. Besides prominent film directors also famous actors will
take part in the movie. The movie will be shot in English language and
the company will start filming after the negotiations are over in 2013.
