Seeking To Shoot. Picture In Russia Kirk Douglas Asks Soviet Permission By VERNON SCOTT United Press Staff Correspondent HOLLYWOOD (UP) - Russian rubles may bolster movietown's sagging boxoffice if actor Kirk Douglas is given the green light by the Kremlin to shoot a picture in the USSIL. Douglas is dickering with Red intercultural bigwigs to film “Michael Strongoff" with his own ' Bryna Productions apteing up half the loot and the Russian j treasury kicking in the balance. ■ "It looks as if we will be the I first to make a movie in Russia,” Douglas said, “and I’m a little frightened about it. "This is a big responsibility — representing the United States over there. But we would be con.? tributing more than a movie- It can be a tremendous step toward showing the world by practical demonstration that dur two countries can work and live together." Dreams Os Grandeur . Douglas’dreams ofgrandeur are hinged on firm negotiations. "The Russian Cultural Exchange Agency is enthusiastic about the project." he grinned. “They’ve endorsed it. Within a week we should get the go-ahead from Moscow.” Kirk said the picture would be made by technicians and actors from both countries. He will star in the title role opposite a Muscovite maiden of his. own chopsing. -■■ We ‘ye kejh everything^neutral —it’s a Jules Verne story about a man. who travels across Russia from Moscow to Siberia to deliver a message. There are no politics in the script,” he explained. ■ Douglas laughingly denies he has" been well received by the ( Russians because beth-his parents ! were born there. Start Next April In the event the deal goes through, production would begir next April on Russian soundstages and with Russian equipment. “I haven't been back from Norway and ‘The Vikings' verj long,” the actor said. “And wher I gd to Russia I'll take my famllj along- We should be over there s full year. “It’s a rare thing fopAjT actoi to become a part of world affairs ! No one could ask for greater ad venture, nor a finer opportunity to keep the world fus.e ,(rom ig mting. I also think 'Strogoff couk be the biggest financial success in movie history. , “If I'm not allowed to shoot the (film in Russia I will drop, the whole idea. I want to do- more than make a great movie. I want to prove Americans and Russians can create an artistic triumph tc gether.” MONTPELIER. Vt.
