Short description
The Last Warrior follows Ivan, a young Muscovite who makes his living pretending to be a psychic and performing on television. After angering the wrong person, he is thrown into Belogorye, a parallel world where the characters of Russian fairy tales live and magic is an ordinary part of everyday life. There, everyone he meets assumes he is the son of the legendary hero Ilya Muromets and that he alone is destined to play the central role in the coming struggle between the forces of light and darkness. Accompanied by figures such as the witch Baba-Yaga, the near-immortal Kashchey and the water spirit Vodyanoy, Ivan has to work out what is really expected of him.
The film is directed by Dmitriy Dyachenko, whose earlier credits include What Men Talk About and Super Family; it sits between the latter and two sequels, The Last Warrior: Root of Evil and The Last Warrior: Emissary of Darkness, and was released in October 2017. Viktor Horinyak plays Ivan, with Mila Syvatska, Ekaterina Vilkova, Konstantin Lavronenko, Sergey Burunov and Elena Yakovleva among the cast. The screenplay was written by Vitaly Shlyappo, Igor Tudvasev and Pavel Danilov.
Produced by Walt Disney Pictures and The Walt Disney Company CIS on a budget of about 8 million dollars, it returned roughly 31 million dollars worldwide. On IMDb it holds 6.4/10 from around 3,900 votes; on TMDB it stands at 6.9/10 from 218 votes.
What's left behind the scenes
- Belogorye was originally planned to be filmed in the foothills of the Caucasus Mountains, and picturesque boxwood groves near Sochi were selected long before filming began. However, by the time filming started, almost all of the boxwood had been destroyed by the box tree moth. This ecological disaster forced the film crew to venture deeper into the mountains in search of surviving relic groves. The rocks that the characters are forced to navigate were filmed in the mountains of Kabardino-Balkaria and Adygea. Scenes where Ivan first enters the ancient world were filmed in the Mozhaysk district of the Moscow region.
- Barbarian's crown was woven from lace, and then metal was applied using galvanization – first copper, then silver.
- Three sets of leather armor were made for Koshchei (Konstantin Lavronenko). Specifically for three different scenes.
- The pool for filming scenes in the swamp was created in a pavilion. It took three weeks and 200 tons of water to build it.
- A hut on chicken legs, a boyar’s chambers, a swamp, a three-story dungeon, and a magical well were built in the pavilion in Moscow.
- Filming took place in the summer of 2016. Some scenes were shot in pavilions in Moscow, as well as at various locations in the Moscow region and near Sochi.
- Before each filming day, three hours were spent applying makeup to actor Konstantin Lavronenko, who played the role of Koschei.
- The Water Goblin (Sergey Burunov) was created entirely using computer animation.
- The jewelry for Barbara (Ekaterina Vilkova) was provided by the Axenoff Jewellery house.
- Baba Yaga’s clothing was sewn from thin felted wool, silk, and linen.
