FIRST TV SERIES IMAGES WITH KIRILL ZAYTSEV

This one will be hitting small screens in Russia sometime later this year, but we have first images from THE LAST KNIGHT: LEGACY series. The whole franchise of movies started back in 2017 and is now being turned into a series for television as well. The lead roles are played by Victor Khorinyak, Arina Rozhkova, Evelina Mazurina, Kirill Zaytsev and Yulia Peresild.

THE EIGHT EPISODE TV SERIES
 takes place 20 years after the three previous parts of the movie franchise.

  FINIST: THE FIRST WARRIOR  

SEE FIRST TEASER WITH KIRILL ZAYTSEV

The movie will hit cinemas January 2025

We have a delightful first teaser for probably the most anticipated new family fairy tale adventure movie coming from Russia - FINIST: THE FIRST WARRIOR (Финист. Первый богатырь) in which our favourite of all mighty Russian hunksters, the blond grand prince himself Kirill Zaytsev is to return to the role of legendary Russian hero Sokol Finist! This epic movie adventure which is set to arrive in Russian cinemas January 2025 also starring Yulia Peresild, the first actress ever to shoot a film up in space, is basically a spin off or continuation of Russia's most popular epic saga The First Warrior, which had four ultra successful sequels previous years and will now focus on the first one among them all, Sokol Finist, from whom all legends and fairy tales begin and start.

 

  FINIST YASNIY SOKOL

 is the most famous hero of Belogorye, the strongest, most dexterous and most deserving. Well, and the most beautiful, of course. All other heroes look up to him, children want to be like him, and girls can't stop looking at him. And who could blame them? Finist is a real superstar. And he carefully protects and maintains this status. He needs more and more feats, he is simply obsessed with them. But there is a nuance. The practical benefit of the feat for Finist is no longer of decisive importance. Let's say, freeing a village from a herd of wild boars that tramples down crops is boring, uninteresting, futile: they won't spread tales about it, they won't admire it. But going to the end of the world, where Beauty is imprisoned in a tower, guarded by an unimaginable Beast, now that is a challenge.

 

 A GORGEOUS BABA YAGA

Beside our boo Kirill the Breathtaking, the cast also includes Russia's most beautiful female star Yulia Peresild who plays probably the most gorgeous Baba Yaga we have ever seen, with Fedor Dobronravov also in the ensemble alongside always funny Sergei Lavigin as Finist's assistant and right hand, albeit a very clumsy one, Meleha, and wildly handsome Fedor Gamaleya as some kind of Arabian or Persian prince or knight at least judging by the photos of him under a turban. Before this one arrives to the cinemas, TV Russia will also air, sometime later this year, an eight part television series THE LAST WARRIOR: LEGACY which is also set in the same world with Finist also taking part in the story. Check out the teaser below and tell us what you think.
