Since then, numerous fans of the series are discussing it, arguing about what this picture carries in itself and, of course, hope to see the sequel.
Now and then there are rumors that the script of "Brigade-2" is already being written, that preparations are being made for filming, a new cast of actors is being recruited ... The creators of the first part of the film are tired of repeating that these are just rumors.
And so it happened!
The film, which will certainly become the most anticipated premiere of the last few years, is still getting ready for production!
Six years after the release of the first film, an unprecedented spectator interest and fierce criticism, the producer of the Brigade, Alexander Inshakov, takes up the creation of the second part of the picture. However, the sequel will be a full-length film.
And, unlike the first picture, shot by the studio "Avatar Film", the second part will be filmed by the Cascade Film Company, whose founders are Alexander Ivanovich Inshakov and Yuri Nikolaevich Shabaykin. He will also become one of the film's producers.
At the moment, the scenario is being approved and the crew is forming. In the very near future, shooting will begin.
All the vicissitudes of the plot are kept in the strictest secrecy, as well as whether some of the star cast members of the first "Brigade" will take part in the shooting of the second part!
During the time that has passed since the release of the series, the project managed to become a legend in scope, ambition, quality and shape a mass of rumors. In addition, the "Brigade" in the year of release on the screens became the most expensive film in Russia. It is known that the budget of one series was almost $ 200 thousand. For those times an unprecedented figure!
The series broke all conceivable records of spectator popularity and became the first Russian film to reach the semifinal of the prestigious American television award Emmy, not to mention the fact that the year the project was released was the main event of the majority of Russian film and television awards. Then the "Brigade" "took" prizes in the nomination of the best film and the best television series of such awards as "TEFI" and "Golden Eagle", and this is not a complete list. Creators and actors also won numerous prizes. But the main reward, of course, is a huge audience love and a never-ending interest in the picture.
New creators are going to, at least, repeat, and even surpass the success of the series.
It is worth saying that also in the near future the film company "Cascade" produces two more pictures. In February 2008, the action adventure "Maltese Cross" with a budget of $ 5 million is released on the screens. Alexander Inshakov will become the general producer and performer of the main role in it. In the film, Oleg Taktarov, Yuri Solomin and many others will also take part. And in the autumn of 2008, the audience will see the historical drama "The Heart of the Enemy" by director-debutant Alexander Vysokovsky. Actors Andrei Chadov and Tatiana Arntgolts are involved in the main roles. At the moment the shootings are finished, the montage and sounding of the picture is being conducted. The budget of this film was $ 7 million.
