There is huge interest in Gábor Kálomista's film, Elk@rtuk, to be shown on Thursday, which is based on Ferenc Gyurcsány's scandalous speech in Öszöd and the series of street protests that erupted after it.
Although a month ago Budapest Film Zrt., a capital interest led by Gergely Karácsony The main characters are known, but until the day of the presentation, October 21, the filmmakers will not reveal who will play Ferenc Gyurcsány. And Gábor Kálomista previously told Origo, among other things, that it was very difficult to find an actor for the film, because the actors in the industry were threatened that if they played in Elk@rtk, they would not get film roles, they would write themselves out of the industry.
Advance tickets are being bought in droves Gábor Kálomista 's political thriller: for Elk@rtu, starting on October 21, several theaters have already sold out, which doesn't usually happen these days even for American films that promise the biggest box office hits. A film based on Ferenc Gyurcsány's inaugural speech, its political background and the series of protests in 2006 and the subsequent brutal police terror in the street
IT WAS ATTACKED FROM THE BEGINNING BY THE LEFT-WING CULTURAL MIDDLE.
Gábor Kálomista told Origo that after the first major selection of actors, the actors received threats already in the zero phase.
They received messages that if they agreed to this, they would write themselves out of the profession." They threatened the actors, but they stubbornly stuck to the film.
Nearly forty actors play in the film, in addition to many extras. is played by Zsolt Trill , one of the greatest Hungarian actors Zsolt Trill told Origo that he had heard about the threats to the actors, and that several people had called him asking him the question, as if demanding an account, "Did you take it?"
I don't want to live in a country where I have to fear whether or not I'll be in a movie about a moment of our lives. This is a catastrophic situation. If a left-wing person had made this film, it would surely be brilliant, even without seeing it, " said Zsolt Trill in the video interview.
Gábor Kálomista recently told Pesti TV that the director, Keith English , and Josep M. Civit , a cameraman of Catalan origin, noticed the fear in the actors and were partners in solving it. (By the way, Josep M. Civit's role in Hungary would be hysterically celebrated by the left - quite rightly - since he is Pedro Almodóvar's cinematographer.)

The filming was further hindered by the capital led by Karácsony (more precisely, the Gyurcsánys) by making location reservations more difficult. The most surprising thing was that in September, Budapest Film Zrt., owned by the capital city, and the multinational company, Cinema City, hardly wanted to show the political crime drama, they only planned to show it in one afternoon. At first, the network of Budapest Film Zrt. intended to screen it only in the Corvin cinema, and only in the afternoon during the week of the presentation.
THE PRODUCER ALSO SAID THAT THE SMALL CINEMAS IN THE RURAL ARE ALSO RECEIVING THREATENING MESSAGES THAT IF THEY SHOW THIS FILM, THEY WILL NEVER GET A PREMIERE FILM AGAIN.
"Until now, they were busy insulting my actors, threatening my colleagues, cross-dressing them on the shooting locations wherever possible, but to their greatest surprise, the film was completed. They realized that they can't stop it anymore, the trailer is out, the billboards are there, let's do the promotion. Where else can you catch a movie? There, so that we don't let you into the cinemas.
They play censor, abuse their power. Why do people who are now burning films condemn the World War II book burnings on such a basis , said Gábor Kálomista earlier.
