In Former Soviet Union Lenin Comedy Role Chooses You
Hollywood's own Leonardo DiCaprio has been tagged by Russian movie producers to star in their comedy under the working title Lenin's Brain.
The pitch: Russian scientists manage to clone famous revolutionary Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, who sparks a socialist revolution in the United States in the
year 2004.
"We have compared DiCaprio's photos with those of the younger Lenin and
the similarity is striking: he could play the role without make-up" says screenwriter Alexander Borojanski.
Natalya
Semina, director of the Moscow International Film Festival went on to add, "It is common knowledge that DiCaprio has Slavic roots. His ancestors
on his mother's side emigrated from Russia to Germany." Of course. EVERYONE knows that, just as they share a hunger for the Bolshevik-based comedy. Please people, can we not pigeonhole our actors of Slavic descent into these roles?
