Short description
In 13th-century Rus, Mongol forces under Batu Khan have swept across most of the known world and now advance toward Europe, meeting little resistance as they burn the remaining Russian principalities. One young Ryazan knight, Evpatii Kolovrat, gathers a small band of fighters to strike back against the invaders, defending their homeland and avenging what the Mongols have taken from them. The story draws on the historical legend of Evpatii Kolovrat and sets his doomed stand against Batu Khan's army.
The film is a Russian production directed by Dzhanik Fayziev and Ivan Shurkhovetskiy, with a screenplay by Sergey Yudakov, Dmitriy Paltsev and Dmitriy Raevskiy. Ilya Malakov plays Evpatii, alongside Aleksandr Tsoy as Batu Khan, Andrey Burkovskiy, Aleksandr Ilyin Jr, Aleksey Serebryakov and Timofey Tribuntsev. It was released in November 2017 and runs 117 minutes. Made for about 6 million dollars, it earned roughly 11 million worldwide, a solid return relative to its cost. It is the earliest of the three features Fayziev has directed, preceding Cosmoball in 2020. Audiences rate it 6.1 out of 10 on IMDb across some 4,200 votes and 6.1 out of 10 on TMDB from a smaller pool of 166.
What's left behind the scenes
- The most laborious part of the project was Batu Khan’s makeup. Actor Alexander Tsoi, who played the Khan, spent about an hour and a half in the makeup chair every day. Removing the “look” at the end of the shift took about an hour.
- Of the real sets for the film, only a section of the fortress wall, city gates, fragments of the cathedral's interior, fragments of the princely chambers' interior, the interior of Kolovrat’s house, and fragments of Batu Khan’s tent were built.
- The film was shot in Moscow, in specially constructed pavilions on the territory of the ZIL plant, where the largest chromakey pavilions in Europe were built, with a total area of over 4,000 square meters. Adjacent pavilions housed a training hall for actors and stunt performers, as well as an indoor riding arena and stables.
- Evpaty Kolovrat is a legendary Russian hero who fought against the Mongol-Tatar invaders in the 13th century.
- Oleg Stepchenko was previously appointed as the director of the film, but he declined due to his commitment to the film 'The Mystery of the Dragon Seal'.
