BIRTH OF AN EMPIRE
FIRST IMAGES FROM PETER I MOVIE
Back in 2022 I reported that Serbian star Milos Bikovic will lead historical movie THE BIRTH OF AN EMPIRE (Рождение империи) but
then exactly a year ago I told you that it will be Aleksandar Gorbatov
who will play the lead role of Tzar Peter I at the time after the
defeat in the Battle of 
Narva and before the victory in the Battle of
Poltava. And now we have the first images from the film which is supposed to arrive to Russian cinemas 
sometime in 2026. In addition to Peter I, the film will also feature his
courtiers Menshikov, Sheremetyev, Romodanovsky and Foreign Minister 
Golovin. Menshikov will actually be played by Milos Bikovich, Romodanovsky by Vitaly Khaev, Sheremetyev by Alexey Guskov. The 
female roles will be played by Yulia Peresild (Anna Mons) and Ksenia Utekhina (the future Catherine I). Andrei Kravchuk is directing.

mission to Western Europe from 9 March 1697 to 25 August 1698 
led by
Peter the Great), Peter the Great stepped into a protracted war with
Sweden for the access to the sea. On the way to a great victory, serious
trials 
await him: disappointment, deception and betrayal - only by
overcoming all of those will Peter become Emperor, find true love, and
Russia will be proclaimed a great Empire.

I wonder how many great Russian series and films I have missed in the last three years and if I'll ever get to see them.
ReplyDeleteProbably never as we do not get English subs for them.
DeleteDid they wear the hair that way in that era? How inconvenient! Had a bloody busy day yesterday..the water pipe was broken on our street and suddenly no water and I didn't have any water at home...stressful 24 hours.
ReplyDeleteThat was the trend in Europe, but you can see that Petrushka is the only one that does not wear a wig.
DeleteOy, horrible, cannot imagine anything worse than water and power cuts, hope they fixed it for you. We had power cuts in the middle of winter many times before with more than ten hours without heating when it is subzero outside.
