It was far too long ago since we last had any news on Paul Verhoeven’s 19th century Russian thriller Azazel (2009), now apparently (again) titled Winter Queen. However, now the first two medium-res movie posters for the film have surfaced online, courtesy of QuietEarth.us — and they are incredible! Neither feature Milla I’m afraid, but personally, the beautiful art design makes up for it. Check them out at our gallery!
Furthermore, QuietEarth.us has a more in-depth synopsis for the film, in which Milla is set to portray Amalia Bezhetskaya. Hopefully this means we’ll soon get a more proper update on the progress of the production of the film; as of yet, the Winter Queen page at the Internet Movie Database remains without updates since May 2008. From QuietEarth.us:
A beautiful day in the park is shattered when a student shoots himself in full view of the promenade public. Why would a rich and attractive young man do such a terrible thing? Decadence and boredom is what the commander of the Criminal Investigation Division of the St. Petersburg Police thinks, but he’s curious enough to send out the newest member of the division, Erast Fandorin, to investigate.
Fandorin’s irresistibly charming — a handsome 20 year old who’s naive and envious to learn. He vacillates between insanely bold bravery and full on fear as he throws himself whole-heartedly into this mysterious beauty, Amalia Bezhetskaya, a femme fatale who enjoys playing with the despairing emotions of her many well-to-do admirers. Fandorin pursues Amalia to foggy London and back, getting himself in and out of deadly escapades — he’s almost stabbed to death, finds himself forced into a game of Russian Roulette, he’s bound in a burlap sack and thrown in the Thames to drown, his memory is in danger of being erased forever and Amalia’s ghost even returns from the dead to get her revenge.
