Shout! Studios has take North American rights to World War II epic “The Last Frontier,” while U.K. rights have gone to Signature Entertainment. The deals will be announced Wednesday by the film’s sales agent Central Partnership at Roskino’s digital market, Key Buyers Event.
Distribution rights to the film were also sold to Japan (New Select), South Korea (PoongKyung SoRi) and Scandinavia (Mis.Label). Central Partnership will continue to close sales during Key Buyers Event and at Cannes’ Virtual Film Market.
“The Last Frontier,” inspired by real events, tells the story of how cadets from the Podolsk military academy staged a heroic stand outside Moscow in 1941. Cadets were sent to the front line, fighting alongside units from the 43rd division to hold back the German advance until reinforcements arrived. Hopelessly outnumbered, thousands of young men died in a battle lasting almost two weeks.

Stalingrad 3D’s producer-director Fyodor Bondarchuk has a Us major in his sights for the national and international distribution of the forthcoming Russian war film, Battalion Of Death, set during the First World War.
Speaking during a presentation of the first footage of Dmitry Meshiev’s drama about the women battalions formed in 1917 to fight on the Eastern front against the Germans, Bondarchuk said that negotiations were underway with “a big company” to handle distribution in a way “very similar to Stalingrad.”
The $30m war drama Stalingrad was released in Russian cinemas by Sony Pictures Releasing International on October 10, 2013 and posted the strongest opening weekend ever for a locally produced film with $14.3m from 1,400 screens. In total, the film took $52m (RUB1.75bn) at the Russian box office to become the top release of 2013 and was also a hit for Sony in China with takings of over $11.5m.

Fortress Of War
Stars: Evgeniy Tsyganov, Pavel Derevyanko, Andrey Merzlikin, Veronika Nikonova, Anna Tsukanova | Written by Aleksey Dudarev, Ekaterina Tirdatova, Igor Ugolnikov | Directed by Alexander Kott
World War II films are a common entry into the war genre. Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan seems to be the benchmark for the Americanised war films, with the highly personalised story of the search for one man in the war. Fortress of War takes that style of a centralised story within a broader spectrum and does it with absolute aplomb.
Fortress of War tells the story of the invasion by German forces of the Brest Fortress in the Soviet Union in 1941 and is directed by Alexander Kott. The story focuses on the one siege upon the fortress, kicking off with a surprise attack and then never letting up for the entire two hour runtime.
The relentless of the film is striking, starting...
