Translation:

Filmarile pentru lungmetrajul “The Defender”, regizat de Dolph Lundgren si turnat in Studiourile Media Pro, s-au incheiat recent la Buftea. Dolph Lundgren detine in film rolul principal alaturi de cunoscutul realizator de talkshow-uri Jerry Springer si de actorii Thomas Lockyer si Shakara Ledard. Din cauza ca programul de filmare nu i-a lasat timp sa viziteze Bucurestiul, Dolph si-a prelungit sederea in Romania pentru a face un tur al Capitalei. Actorul a strabatut Calea Victoriei si bulevardul Magheru si a fost interesat in mod deosebit de cladirile vechi ale Bucurestiului. El a facut o escala la Casa Poporului si la Muzeul National Militar, de unde, la sfirsitul vizitei, a primit o editie bilingva romano-engleza a cartii “Armata Romana”, pe care o rasfoise la intrarea in muzeu. “The Defender” este primul film pentru care Dolph semneaza si regia. Pina acum, el a avut roluri in peste 20 de filme, fiind si producator al unuia dintre ele, “Penthatlon”. Dolph a debutat la virsta de 28 de ani, in 1985, in “A View to a Kill”, din seria “James Bond”. Au urmat “Rocky IV”, in care apare alaturi de Sylvester Stalone, “Johnny Mnemonic”, cu Keanu Reeves, sau “Universal Soldier”, cu Jean-Claude Van Damme.
Jerry Springer interpreteaza in film rolul presedintelui american. Realizator al unuia dintre talkshow-urile cu cea mai mare audienta din SUA, Jerry Springer a fost primar al orasului Cincinnati (1977), actor si producator. De asemenea, a fost consilier in campania politica a lui Robert F. Kennedy. Springer este si cintaret de country. Desi spune ca vocea sa “suna mai bine in ziare”, el a cintat in deschidera concertelor lui Billy Ray Cyrus, precum si in celebrul club al lui Johnny Depp, “The Viper Room”. [/quote]

--- SAME STUFF LIKE IN THE OTHER ARTICLES


DOLPH LUNDGREN: “Transilvania e in Romania? Dracula e roman? Nu stiam”

--- Transilvania is in Romania? Dracula it's romanian? I didn't know" (here Dolph dessapoints me, ps dracula it's not romanian, it's a myth from Vlad Dracul, a big king in romanian hystory)

--- Un actor celebru, cu un corp de invidiat, despre care cei mai multi ar putea crede ca este doar ”un pachet de muschi”. Dolph Lundgren,
rivalul lui Stallone din “Rocky IV” si cel al lui Van Damme in “Soldatul Universal”, a fost un student eminent si un sportiv de talie
mondiala. Aflat in Romania, suedezul a acceptat sa acorde un interviu revistei noastre in care a dezvaluit detalii picante despre viata
particulara, despre marea sa pasiune, artele martiale, despre debutul regizoral si despre metodele de antrenament care il fac sa fie
intr-o forma de invidiat

---A big celebrity, an unique body, most people could understand that Dolph it's only muscles.
But Dolph (Stallone's co-star in Rocky 4 and Van Dammes in Unisol) was a grenious as a student and an international superchampion.
Dolph accept to make this interview for our magazine and tell us a lot of things from his personal and professional side and his debut
as a director.

“Mi-aduc aminte ca in copilarie eram destul de firav. Din cauza astmului aveam probleme”

“Nu imi pare rau ca am renuntat la box. Dimpotriva! In Rocky IV doar am interpretat un personaj, am devenit celebru, am luat bani multi, si totul fara sa incasez vreo lovitura. Ca sportiv cistigi mai putini bani decit in meseria de actor”

“De doua pe saptamina merg la sala de forta si de doua ori fac jogging. De ani de zile ma antrenez in stil de comando! O modalitate ceva mai dura…Chiar si aici, in Romania, am iesit sa alerg in jurul Palatului Parlamentului. E o cladire foarte mare si de aceea tot traseul il parcurg in 20 de minute”

“Cunosc ca pina la sfirsitul anilor ’80 si inceputul anilor ’90, Romania a fost condusa de Ceausescu, de altfel singurul presedinte din Europa de Est care a fost ucis”[/quote][/quote]

--- I remember that in my childhood i was a weak child because of the astm i had a lot of problems.

--- I don't regret that i give up on box, i think i made a was decission.In Rocky 4 i was a boxer, i became famous, taken lot of moneys and i didn't get any punch, any injuries.In sports you cannot make so much money.

--- In the last 2 weeks i pump up my muscles and i make jogging.In the last year i train myself in commando style, a different method to train hardest. Eve in Romania i train and run around the Building of the romanian Parlament (the 2nd largest building in the world).It's a huge building and i can run whole around it in 20 minutes.

--- I know that in the last of 80's and begins 90's Romania has been ruled by Ceausescu, the only comunist leader killed.

Seems that The Defender could have a big audience here because of the appearance of Christina Teodorescu, a very quality tv star and the romanian manager of the 2nd biggest Advertising US Company worldwide - Saatchi & Saatci.

A part of the casting has been made by Dolph himslef.

Krom your translation is not clear, could translate this part that dosn't seem to be in the previous articles?

I don't understand the whole translation - it is very strenuous to read. Would be better to just have english text and not mix it with the romanian parts. But still, thanks for the effort.

[Tom]

Dolph is looking in great condition. He looks fresher and younger than he did before his gap out. Could be a new lease of life for Dolph and perhaps he can gradually build up some successful DVD sales and he'll do more expensive movies, be up there with Van Damme and Seagal doing 20 million dollar movies.

[Santee]

Thanks for the photos Jox, he looks great..............

1.All the online articles are incomplete. I was confused also because there'se only few declarations from what Dolph says to them, a mixed with comments and such.

2.The translation of the below article:

"Dolph Lundgren it's the main character and have co-stars as Jery Springer, Thomas Lockyer and Shakara Ledard.
Because of the very hard program of shooting he didn't have enough time to visit Bucharest and that's the reason why Dolph's chnage his schedule and stays more here. He make a tour of Bucharest, he visit the biggest boulevards here, he was fascinated by the old part of Bucharest (in the last of 1890 Bucharest was the reachest capital in Europe, first city lighted by gas, etc etc - agriculture was our strongest point in economy ) and he visit this old part of Bucharest then he visit the Building of the Parliament and The National Army Museum. Here he receive a special edition book in english and romanian called: The Romanian Army.
