SEE NEW IMAGES FROM LAVISH HISTORICAL EPIC SERIES ON EMPEROR ALEXANDER THE FIRST WHO KICKED NAPOLEON OUT OF RUSSIA

  TZAR ALEXANDER THE FIRST  
NEW EPIC SERIES HAS FINISHED SHOOTING
After many different versions of series on his grandmother, legendary Catherine the Great, we are finally getting a series on ALEXANDER THE FIRST, the emperor of whole Russia and last year  I gave you first images from this sprawling historical saga which director Artyom Nasybulin was shooting over in St. Petersburg, but now I can tell you the production finished in July. The show is set to premiere sometime next year on Russian streamer Smotrim with linear television premiere on national broadcaster Rossiya 1! The title role is played by Evgeny Romantsov, whom we remember from Goalkeeper of Galaxy sf movie, and he will be accompanied by Anna Banshchikova, Gleb Bochkov, Polina Gukhman, Philip Ershov, Anastasia Krylova, Fyodor Lavrov, Angelina Poplavskaya, Anna Snatkina, Daniil Spivakovsky, Artyom Tkachenko, Vladislav Tsenev, Anna Chipovskaya and Yuri Chursin. I have heard that more than 4,000 costumes were used in the series. During the massive production of this high profile series the actors had to learn how to ride, use weapons and play the violin.
 
AFTER BEING RAISED
by his babushka, Empress Catherine II, who saw in her eldest grandson the direct heir to the throne, and the European teacher La Harpe, Alexander adheres to liberal views and admires the first years of Napoleon's reign: he dreams that Russia will someday have a republic. After the death of Catherine, during the reign of Paul, Alexander continued to hope for reforms. However, he is soon overcome by disappointment in Paul both as a father and as a statesman. As a result of the conspiracy, Emperor Paul the First dies, and Alexander, haunted by guilt for the death of his father, is forced to ascend the throne to confront the new intrigues of the aristocrats and his overbearing mother. At the same time, Alexander understands that a threat looms over Russia: war with the invincible Napoleon is inevitable, it’s only a matter of time. I will show you the trailer as soon as we get one over from Russia.

    1. He is cute as button, he was irresistible in Goalkeeper of Galaxy, and now he is even more dashing in the uniform, with longer hair and older. A true Russian hunkster.

  3. I am still in awe of that many costumes being used for this project. And kudos to the actors for not only having to learn their lines, but violin, riding and using weapons which must have made this a challenging feat.

    1. And a fun thing for them too. I think they like challenges. I remember that Bradley Cooper studied being a conductor for almost a decade for the role in that recent biopic.
