I have a small update to offer you regarding Milla’s upcoming film, Paul Verhoeven’s Azazel, which has been delayed until 2009 due to Milla’s pregnancy. The film’s IMDb page has been updated with a handful of new information.
For those who know nothing about the film, it is a crime drama set in 19th century Russia and is based on Boris Akunin’s novel The Winter Queen (which was also the film’s previous title). According to IMDb, the film has moved into pre-production, and Milla will be playing the role of Amalia Bezhetskaya. Another actor has been attached to the cast list – Dan Stevens, a relatively unknown name and face to most, will reportedly portray Erast Fandorin. A plot outline has also been added to the page. From IMDb.com:
Erast Fandorin, a government clerk turned detective, makes for an unlikely but gifted sleuth in late nineteenth-century Russia. The action opens a few years before the assassination of Czar Alexander II which begins the dark slide to war and revolution. A rich young man has killed himself in Moscow’s Alexander Gardens, having spun a single cartridge in a revolver’s chamber, pulled the trigger and lost at a game said to have been thought up in the Klondike gold fields and therefore called American roulette. The suicide note ostensibly explains the young man’s motive: “Your world nauseates me, and that, truly, is quite reason enough.” He has left his fortune to Baroness Margaret Astair, a British educator famed for her world-wide organization of progressive orphanages, which will shift the action for a time to England.
Production will start at the earliest in 2008. That’s all. :)
