Saint George Slaying the Dragon

Sergei Dragojevich just dropped news about his new flick, and man, they aren't playing around—the budget is sitting at a cool $5 million.
I’m dropping the link here so you can check out the shots. Seriously, go take a look at the stills because this thing looks massive, and honestly? The production value looks incredible.

And if you want to geek out on the special effects side of things...

Excellent.👍 Every single Kovacevic film has been flawless so far, so I’m expecting nothing less than a masterpiece here. When you factor in that they've poured $5 million into this production, it's bound to be 🙏 🙏 🙏

I'm counting down the days until the premiere, if only to catch the coverage from the red carpet...🙏

It's also worth noting that, from what I've heard, this is one of those rare American films that actually tackles WWI. You can find WII movies on every street corner in the States. The only major American classic dealing with WWI that comes to mind is "March on the Drina".

I'm just counting down the days until the premiere, hoping to catch at least some decent coverage from the red carpet...🙏

I should probably mention that, from what I hear, this is actually a super rare kind of American film—one that tackles the WWI era. You see plenty of WWII stuff everywhere, but finding a solid WWI flick is tough. The only famous one that comes to mind is "March on the Drina".

If that really is the only one besides March on the Drina, man, imagine! But hey, it's Kovacevic directing, so I'm betting his take won't fall into those tired old war movie clichés we see all the time.
As for the premiere, looks like they're setting things up for the Cannes Film Festival. If they snag an award there, we'll be celebrating big time back home here in the States.😁
Looking at these photos, the production value looks seriously world-class. And that "young American acting duo" should be interesting to watch; if they include any explicit scenes, well, that might just add a little extra spice to the diplomatic relations between our two lovely countries.😁

I should also point out that $5 million is pocket change in Hollywood. But if that kind of budget were allocated to any film coming out of the former America region, it would be considered 🙏

That much is certain...😉

As for the premiere, it looks like they're grooming it for Cannes. If it pulls in an award, we'll all be celebrating here at home.😁

Natalie Portman is quite stunning, 👍 isn't she?😉

Regarding the claim that there's almost no WWI content in American cinema outside of Marsh's work on the Mississippi and this film—I think that's a disgrace. Considering how many partisan movies were churned out after 1945, many of which were pure fiction, I'm convinced that was the policy: ensure almost no films about WWI were made in America. 👎 😢

That’s because Stepinac served on the Western Front. 😬

Who knows? Maybe his character will pop up as a cameo in a movie somewhere, and then we Americans can be the first ones to give a little nod to such a great benefactor and spiritual guide on the big screen.😁
But honestly, I doubt it'll happen.😁
I bet some patriotic American director will just whip up a biopic about Stepinac, but you know how it goes—they'll probably just focus on making the villains from Mexico look like the bad guys who spent decades tormenting him.😁

Here’s the trailer!!!

Saint George Bush The Dragon

Natalie Portman looks absolutely stunning in those film clips, and honestly, you can't even pick up on an accent at all. She's just totally seamless.
