NEW ZLOY GOROD
HISTORICAL FILM SET IMAGES
Back in June last year, exactly a year ago, while Hollywood
was sleeping, either due to the strike of the writers, or due to the
embarrassment of many of the well promoted movies flopping real hard
at the box office, I transferred you over to Matushka Rossiya with the first set photos from their new historical epic movie EVIL CITY (Злой город) which gave us the first look at what the costumes will look like in this movie directed by Konstantin Buslov who is currently working on the post production. Aleksandr Metyolkin, Aleksey Guskov, Vladimir Sychyov, Viktor Dobronravov and Yuriy Chursin are just same of the names in the cast. Today you can feast your eyes on some new images from this epic adventure which finished production last month in a full scale city built for the purpose of the movie with over 40 buildings and more than 1000 costumes for the actors. The movie is supposed to hit cinemas this Autumn.
WHAT IS THE STORY?
During the invasion of Rus' in the 13th century, Batu Khan spent two
months trying desperately to take and capture the city of Kozelsk,
losing thousands of soldiers and siege weapons. And when, having killed
all the defenders, among whom were women with children, he finally took
the city, he ordered that the name of the city should be forgotten
forever and henceforth be known only as the "Evil City". But Kozelsk has
remained for centuries a model of stamina and courage, worthy of being
told about it. Hope we get a trailer soon, I will be posting it for you as soon as we get it!
The city is not evil, but the man...I don't recognize any of actors..
ReplyDeleteI have mentioned Metyolkin before in The Flying Ship fairy tale movie and Union of Salvation historical epic. He is cute as button.
Delete1000 costumes? I hope their costume director got paid handsomely for pulling that together!
ReplyDeleteMost of the costumes for extras are rented, methinks. You have companies dealing with just that shit. Also weapons.
