FIRST SADKO IMAGES
FROM NEW RUSSIAN FAIRY TALE MOVIE
Even if you have not read the story, which would be weird given that it is one of Russia's most famous fairy tales, you have probably seen the famous

painting by Illya Repin of the beloved underwater tale, but now we also have the first images from the big screen movie adaptation of
SADKO(Садко). The

tale was previously turned into a classic movie back in 1953. The new film is set to hit theatres in
March 2028. Ivan Oganesov is directing this

marvelous sea adventure. The new version will have a musical tone to it as well. I will post a trailer as soon as we get one.

THE STORY OF THE FILM FOLOWS legendary gusli player Sadko, who, penniless but with his gusli
slung over his shoulder, returns to Veliky Novgorod, the ever bustling seafaring and trade

capital of Old Russia, after long
wanderings. By chance, he meets Princess Lyubava and immediately falls in
love. However, evil lady Glafira forces the

girl to marry the wealthy
tsar for a large ransom. To win his beloved's hand, Sadko makes a deal
with the Sea King down in the Kingdom of the Sea.

WHO WILL BE IN THE CAST?
Back in November I told you that young
Anton Rogachev was set as the lead next to
Anna Peresild as the princess and
Nikolai Valuev, who

has been cast as a troll.
Nikita Kologrivy and
Elizaveta Ishchenko will play a battle sailor Buslai and a warrior Randgrid. The cast will also include
Yuri Stoyanov, Roman Vasiliev, Kristina Babushkina,
Alexey Dmitriev, Robert Zakharyan, Alina Babenko and other actors.
