Medieval tells the story of the Czech warlord Jan Žižka (approx.1360–1424), who led the military wing of the followers of the religious thinker and reformer of the Catholic Church Jan Hus, the so-called Hussites. Žižka is considered a very important figure in Czech history and Czech statehood.

After eight years of preparation, Jan Žižka (Medieval) began filming on 17 September 2018 and the last day of shooting was on 8 December 2018.

“Fifty-six days of shooting feels like forever. On the very first day we had three hundred people on set. We had a lot of very action-packed scenes,” says Petr Jákl, who wrote the script, directed and produced the film.

The cast: Ben Foster, Sophie Lowe, Matthew Goode, Til Schweiger, Michael Caine, Vinzenz Kiefer, Werner Daehn, William Moseley, Sophie Lowe, Karel Roden, Ondřej Vetchý, Marek Vašut, Jan Budař, Ben Cristovao and Romana Jákl Vítová.

Petr Jákl has already experienced this type of work in big foreign projects, including in the films Bad Company, Alien vs. Predator, and the historical series Borgia, but also as an actor and stuntman.

Prorom and Ro Image will release Medieval in Romanian cinemas on October, 7, 2022.

Dr Alithea Binnie (Tilda Swinton) is content with life and comes at the world with a healthy scepticism. Despite this she encounters a Djinn (Idris Elba) who offers her three wishes in exchange for his freedom.

This is a problem because she is a scholar of narrative and knows all the cautionary tales about wishes gone wrong. He pleads his case by telling her fantastical stories of his past. Eventually she is beguiled and makes a wish that surprises them both.

Oscar-winning filmmaker George Miller first encountered Alithea and the Djinn when he read British author A.S. Byatt’s 1994 short story The Djinn in the Nightingale’s Eye in the late 1990s.

“It’s a story that seemed to probe many of the mysteries and paradoxes of life, and so succinctly” Miller recalls. “Once read it stayed with me, as some stories tend to do… then, one day it occurred to me that it should be a film.”

“It felt unique, something that you couldn’t quite fit into any genre and it ticked one very important box - there must be a whole lot more to it than meets the eye. There are stories within stories, a little like One Thousand and One Nights” says Miller.

Idris Elba: “It is an absolute postcard to the art of storytelling. It’s an unconventional film but has a very honest focus. The point is that stories are really important to humankind”.    

Prorom and Ro Image will release Three Thousand Years of Longing in Romanian cinemas on September, 2, 2022.
