Trailer For Director Timur Bekmambetov's Russian WWII Action Film V2 ESCAPE FROM HELL
Sony Pictures has released a trailer for director Timur Bekmambetov’s upcoming Russian World War II action-thriller V2 Escape from Hell. The film is being released in Russian under the title Devyataev, which is the name of the WWII pilot that the story is about.
The film is based on the true story of Mikhail Devyataev, a pilot who was captured and put into a concentration camp during WWII. He ended up escaping by flying away in one of the German planes.
The story is set in the Summer of 1944, “The Soviet troops are on the offensive, but the enemy is still very strong. Fighter pilot Mikhail Devyataev (Pavel Priluchnyy) is captured in Germany. He will have to make a choice - to return to the sky, continuing the war on the side of the enemy, or go to the concentration camp on the island of Usedom. Desperate ace Devyataev chooses the third-escape. But there is no escape from the secret island where German cruise missiles are being tested. But you can fly away - at the airfield is the latest enemy bomber with the ‘weapon of retribution’ of the Third Reich on board… Fly - and make the most daring escape in military history.”
It looks like a thrilling and great-looking movie! The film also stars Pavel Chinarev, Alexey Filimonov, Timofey Tribuntsev, Dmitry Lysenkov, Alexander Lykov, and Evgeny Serzin.
V2 Escape from Hell was co-directed by Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Ben-Hur) and Sergey Trofimov, a cinematographer for many films making his directorial debut. The film premieres at the Moscow Film Festival and opens in Russia on April 29th.
