Scheduled for release on Jan 1st, 2025, the latest fantasy epic based on a traditional Russian folk story. The film's really the story of how Baba Yaga came to be. Baba Yaga is the wickedest witch of all. She lives in a cottage in the forest surrounded by a fence topped with human skulls - but what was she like as a young woman?
There are two sides to Baba Yaga. As well as the wicked witch, she is sometimes shown as a kindly old woman who helps heroes achieve their quest. It's not uncommon of course for mythologies to mix up the personalities of their characters - often based on a real person filtered through different viewpoints and mythologised over centuries.
The new movie stars Kirill Zaytsev as the dashing hero, Finist - playing the role for the third time. The new bigger budget movie follows Finist, the Last Warrior (2021) and The Last Warrior, Messenger of Darkness (2021) - all are worth watching. There's a TV series planned too - The Last Warrior: Heritage
Baba Yaga is played by the bewitching Yuliya Peresild who was also in the hugely enjoyable The Golden Horde (2018) TV series about the 13th century Mongol invasion.
