Czech Culture Minister Vitezslav Jandak, an actor by original
profession, will play a hunter for a long lost treasure in an action
film set during World War II to be shot in mid-2006, the ministry's
press department said on Friday. According to the Czech press, the
film, which currently has the working title "Maharal," will be directed
by Pavel Jandourek, and shooting will take place in the summer when the
government is not working. Mr Jandak, a well-known 58-year-old Czech
film and stage actor, was appointed as Culture Minister in August.
