Yuriy Gorbunov is preparing the New Year's comedy "Train on December 31": the premiere is already this winter
Yuriy Gorbunov, a well-known presenter and producer, continues to expand his horizons in cinema. This time he is preparing a new family comedy called "Train on December 31", which promises to be a new hit of the winter season.
New comedy in the realities of war
It is known about the film that it will be adapted to the modern realities of the war in Ukraine. The war is also outside the window of the train, says Yuri's wife, Kateryna Osadcha. This is an important aspect, because even in difficult times, people long for relaxation and laughter. Comedies can become a kind of medicine for the soul, helping to distract from everyday difficulties.
Why comedy?
Kateryna Osadcha is sure that comedies are of special importance today. People need a chance to laugh and forget their problems, if only for a short time. "Yura never gets tired of shooting movies and chose comedies for himself — it's very cool, " she emphasizes.
Lack of New Year's films in Ukraine
According to Kateryna, there is still no iconic New Year's movie in Ukraine that would become a traditional viewing every year. "In our 30 years of independence, there is no film that Ukrainians would include and this movie was New Year's, " she notes. This means that "The Train on December 31" has every chance to fill this niche.
Will the film become a classic?
Osadcha is sure that the new film will become a long-lasting tradition for Ukrainians. "I am sure that this film will be watched every December 31 and January 1, " she says. This could be the beginning of a new era of Ukrainian cinema, where everyone will be able to find their favorite New Year's movie.
Will Osadcha star in her husband's films?
To the question of whether there is a desire to act in Yuri's films, Kateryna answers negatively. She admits that she does not feel comfortable in the role of an actress and believes that it is not her field. "I'm not an actress and I'm uncomfortable, I don't know how and I don't understand"**, she admits.
So, in the coming winter, a new, special film is waiting for us, which promises to become part of the New Year's traditions of Ukrainians. All that remains is to wait for the premiere and enjoy the new work of Yuriy Gorbunov and his team.
