THE EVIL CITY: Konstantin Buslov’s Brutal War Epic Gets A New Trailer

There are times in between film campaigns where I wonder how long it’ll be until I hear from the filmmakers after; Filmmaker Rustam Mosfir did some TV work after 2018’s The Scythian and is currently working on a feature advancement of one of those TV projects as we speak. I only bring up The Scythian now seeing as that film’s co-writer, Vadim Golovanov, is back in the spotlight these days under the stewardship of Kalishikov and Wings Over Berlin helmer Konstantin Buslov, with his pending return to cinemas in Russian/Mongol epic, The Evil City.

1238. The Golden Horde troops besieged the small Russian city of Kozelsk for two months. Despite the enemy’s numerical superiority, the city did not surrender, repelling the attacks of the invaders.

Thousands of Mongol warriors died trying to capture Kozelsk, and all sorts of siege weapons were used, but the city continued to stand, demonstrating an unbending spirit and will to win.

Aleksandr Metyolkin, Aleksey Guskov, Vladimir Sychyov, Viktor Dobronravov and Yuriy Chursin star, with big scale stunt and action sequences by Konstantin Adaev and Yakov Efimov.

The Evil City opens in Russia on January 31. The official trailer only just came out on Saturday, but a teaser arose about a month ago, and there’s some more great info about the film to be read over at Hollywood Spy if you have the time to click. Otherwise, the earlier teaser can be seen followed by the new official trailer poster just beneath.
