Milla Jovovich, best known for her role in “The Fifth Element”, has arrived to Moscow for the shooting of the romantic comedy "The Trick" by director Levan Gabriadze, which is produced by Timur Bekmambetov. The film was already half-completed when the crew decided to change the lead actress. Now, Timur Bekmambetov’s filmmaking company is set to re-shoot all scenes that featured the previous lead actress Elena Plansina with Hollywood star Milla Jovovich.

In the film that is due to be released in 2011, Milla Jovovich will play the part of a girl whose hand in marriage is fought over by two bridegrooms. One of them is played by Russian show-man Ivan Urgant. The other character, a provincial teacher who comes to Moscow and gets ran over by Milla Jovovich, is played by Konstantin Khabensky who will be seen soon in theatres in the movie “Kolotilov”.

The first scenes were filmed on Tuesday, June 22, near the hotel “Belgrad” in Moscow. The Hollywood star is playing the role in Russian. After work in Moscow, the film crew together with Milla Jovovich will visit the Astana action-film festival in Kazakhstan, which is headed by Timur Bekmambetov.

We have a big and very interesting update on “Kolotilov” today, the upcoming Russian movie Milla Jovovich is currently filming in Moscow, Russia with co-stars Ivan Urgant and Konstantin Khabenskiy.

First, we have this report from Prime Time Russia, which has some new details on Milla’s involvement in the film. But before going into the details, first a clarification regarding the film’s title. According to the article the film is titled “The Trick”, however Milla Jovovich’s official site has so far referred to it as “Kolotilov” while Google translations of what apparently is the film’s Russian-language title (Выкрутасы) give you either “Frills” or “Freaks”, depending on the context in which it’s translated. Until we get some clarity on the title, however, we’ll continue to refer to the movie as Kolotilov, though we realize this may very well not prove the film’s final title.
