Russian First Channel acquired from the Ekaterinburg based distribution group Strana TV rights to the historical drama Gold, directed by Andrey Marmontov. Film production was completed at the Sverdlovsk Film Studio in March of this year.
The shooting took place in 2008 in the natural park of the river Chusovaya and in Kungur city in Sverdlovsk region. A set of an almost real gold mine was constructed on one of the steep banks of the river for this film shooting. The film’s cast includes famous Russian actors: Sergei Bezrukov, Andrey Merzlikin, Anna German, Irina Skobtseva, Mikhail Porechenkov, Evgeniy Ganelin and others.
