Premise


Moscow, 1930s.

A prominent writer in Moscow, known only as "the Master", finds himself at the center of a literary scandal. His works are censored by the Soviet state and are no longer being staged in the theater. His colleagues actively avoid him, and in days he turns into an outcast.

Soon afterwards he meets Margarita, a lonely married woman. Revived by her love and support, the writer begins working on a new novel, where all the characters are people he has met in real life. The protagonist of the book is Woland - a mystical dark force who visits Moscow to wreck havoc and take revenge on all those who helped cause the writer's downfall. The writer's inspiration for Woland is a chance foreign traveler to the Soviet Union whom he recently met.

As the Master sinks himself deeper and deeper into his work, he gradually stops noticing as the border between reality and his imagination begins to fade.


Cast



Main cast


Behemoth will be created using CGI, while his "reality" version will be played by a Maine Coon named Kyesha. His voice is as of November 16, 2021, unknown.[4]


Secondary roles



Production


In 2018, the film was announced as being in production, with 3 major Russian producers helming the project: Ruben Dishdishyan, Igor Tolstunov, and Leonard Blavatnik. Russian film director Nikolai Lebedev was set to direct. By 2021, however, the project still had not taken off. At some point in the project, Lebedev had left the project.

Instead, Michael Lockshin, director of The Silver Skates co-wrote a new script with Roman Kantor and directed the film.

In July 2021, August Diehl was confirmed to join the film as Woland.[5]

Filming began in July 2021 in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Malta, and concluded in November 2021.[6][7]

Mars Media announced that the film would be released on January 1, 2023, with Universal Pictures acting as distributor.[8][9] However, due to production delays, it was later announced the film was planned for release in May 2023.[10]

In August 2022, it was announced that the film was stuck in post-production, due to Universal Pictures leaving Russia over the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and the governmental body Cinema Foundation of Russia refusing to provide further funding for the film.[11][12]
