MOSCOW -- Russia's latest Hollywood co-production aimed at an international audience begins shooting in Moscow this week, producer Czar Pictures said Monday. Treasure Hunters, an adventure movie starring David Carradine (Kill Bill) and Russian bodybuilder Alexander Nevsky, is scheduled to shoot in and around Moscow for four weeks. Directed by Brent Huff (100 Mile Rule) and produced by Nevsky and Robert Madrid -- who also stars -- the film is the third foray into Hollywood co-productions by the company and follows Michael York-starrer Moscow Heat two years ago. The company's second film, Time of Change, directed by Alexander Izotov, starred Mariel Hemingway.
