sequel to Ironija Sud'by

[Richard Robin]

The movie is Ирония судьбы - продолжение:
http://www.film.ru/afisha/movie.asp?code=IRONIYA2 - The film's official site
www.ironiasudbi.ru is down as of today and given the pace at which work gets
down until the holiday season ends on Jan. 13, I imagine it will stay down
until then.

Anyway, a better title for the movie is probably Ирония судьбы - Next
generation. After Zhenya and Nadia get divorced, the each have kids by
second marriages. Zhenya has a son and Nadia has a daughter. And then, on
New Year's Eve...

I heard from a friend in Moscow that it's NOT going to be on TV for several
months. Who knows, they might even be able to keep video pirates from
distribution for several months as well.

At 66, Barbara Brylska still looks pretty good! On the other hand, the
trailer said that the film came from the same people that gave us the Dozor
trilogy, and the trailer sort of has that look to it. That's scary!

But then again, the initial reviews are highly positive.
