   ZLOY GOROD  

NEW HISTORICAL MOVIE TRAILER IS HERE

The film hits cinemas this January in Russia

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 some of the names in the cast. Today you can feast your eyes on a trailer for this epic adventure which finished production last summer 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 hitting cinemas in Russia January 23rd, 2025.

 

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.  You can check out the trailer below and tell us what you think.
