A Russian Battle Royale? Bastards (Сволочи) Website and Trailer Online.

It's been a little while since we've heard from Russian news hound Yuric but he sent in a flurry of quality stuff today. Leading the pack is a website and trailer for Bastards, a film that looks to be the love child of The Dirty Dozen and Battle Royale. Set during World War II the film follows a group of teenage boys sent on a suicide mission behind German lines. The trailer looks pretty fantastic and the Russian DVD has just released and includes English subtitles. I use AllDVD.ca as a good, English friendly source for Russian DVDs and recommend them heartily.

In other Russian war movie news Yuric also tells me that although the original Russian DVD release of The 9th Company did not include English subtitles there is another version coming down the line that will. Good news, that.
