THE WATERWOMAN
Xenia
Waterwoman is played by Alina Lanina. Flexible and agile, she has the ability to move on water as if it is like solid ground, as well as 
seamlessly move through it. This gives her higher mobility in water than the fastest, or most manoeuvrable sea creature. She cannot feel 
temperature differences, but can survive in any vacuum, even without oxygen, which allows her to survive underwater without any negative effects. Check out the mindblowing teaser below:

I do believe I am the first to arrive darling.
ReplyDeleteNow this is intriguing and the trailer looked good. Nice job with the special effects.
Since this is about Russian superheroes, one must wonder how they will sneak a shot of Putin not wearing a shirt in there :0)
You is, Anushka :) that is how Russians would call you :)
DeletePutyenka will probably fight a bear or stop the quake in a scene :) with his bare hands, of course....
Anushka,,,,I like that darling.
DeleteI'm pretty sure Putin could take Godzilla, bare handed and bare chested in the middle of a frozen dessert whilst being shot at by aliens. He's my hero. what a man :0)
It is interesting that Slavic languages have many ways of softening the names, and saying them lovingly.. we also have tons of words for all family members and relations... and yet, Americans are trying to portray them as ville creatures :(
DeleteDid you see how Putya is taking care of ISIS with his bombers? The same ISIS that Obama created?
The trailer is cool looking, but I didn't get a sense of the film from it. I got more from your run down of characters.
ReplyDelete'tis because it ain't a trailer, dear, but a teaser done even before the movie started shooting :)
DeleteWhat? How dare they tease me! I demand a trailer. If doesn't make matter if they've filmed it or not!
Deletemethinks, a trailer should come some time soon! I just hope I don't miss it!
DeleteIt does look and sound quite cool!
ReplyDeleteit should be uber huge!
DeleteGreetings, Dear Dez,
ReplyDeleteYou know this is the first Russian film I can remember ever being exposed to. Looks pretty cool. Speaking of cool how's the weather in your neck of the woods?
They do have mutants in it :) I did show you a number of Russian films over the years, mostly historical ones, STALINGRAD for example, and that CATHERINE THE GREAT series too.
DeleteMostly coldish and rainy. I hear you have snow already in USA
Now here's some different type of mystical powers...and I'm loving it!!! Ability to turn himself into a bear?? That's kinda attractive. hahaha
ReplyDeleteit is totally, especially with that blond hunk
DeleteYes!! Yum :)

DeleteOoh - this looks great! thanks for the excellent write-up, description, of the characters. I think 'The Windman' has won my heart!
ReplyDeletehe has such cool swords, when they're on his back they sit there in the form of a full circle, it's uber cool
DeleteI thought that first photo among the ruins was of the Winter Soldier at first . . . . oh oh!
ReplyDeletenope, that would be Windman
DeleteWhat a fun teaser! Loved the song in it too!
ReplyDeleteit's a gorgeous song and well picked for the teaser
DeleteGood moaning, Cowboy! Did you say tissue and bone? What are you gonna do with that tissue and your bone? :p
ReplyDeletehow come they call a muscle a bone?
