“six Months ago, the authors of the paintings “Just Loco!” addressed to the address of HC “Lokomotiv” with a request for assistance in the shooting, provided a synopsis and a work script of the film – said in a statement posted on the club’s official website. – Having carefully studied these documents, the club decided to refuse support to a number of objective and weighty reasons. First, we believe that the production of such films is now untimely. In addition, the script is very superficial and does not represent the viewers the whole scale, depth and irreversibility of the tragedy team “Lokomotiv”.
in the club stress that they are ready to contribute to the creation of the feature film, “if there be held a national contest for best screenplay, received the full approval of the family, and as experts and consultants of the film will be competent people, deeply involved in the tragedy of September 2011”.
In late June, the creators of the film at a press conference in Moscow said that conceived the movie – not about tragedy, it’s not a disaster movie. It’s about the team through the eyes of ordinary people, fans, technical staff and relatives of the dead players. The plot of the film takes place the day before and the day of the tragedy: fans go to the game, which, alas, will not take place. But what the crew considered to be “an expression of love to all the fans of the lost command”, the hockey club and relatives of the players perceived quite differently.
– I have read the scenario just the other day and were perplexed, – says Leonid Tkachenko is the father of former striker and Vice-captain of Lokomotiv Ivan Tkachenko. – There is “Loco” at all. I do not understand what authors wanted to say. Going to withdraw their consent to the shooting. Know that other parents are going to do it.

Representatives of the creative group, also speaking in a public space, said depressed what is happening, however, I believe that “to evaluate a scenario as “extremely superficial” can only be a spectator and only after the movie was released”.
