2009 film
Taras Bulba (Russian: Тарас Бульба) is a historical drama film, based on the novel Taras Bulba by Nikolai Gogol. The movie was filmed on different locations in Ukraine such as Zaporizhia, Khotyn and Kamianets-Podilsky as well as in Poland. The official release was rescheduled several times; at first for the spring of 2008 but was finally released on April 2, 2009,[2][3][4] to coincide with Gogol's bicentennial.[5] The author's edition of 1842, expanded and rewritten, and considered more pro-Russian,[6] was used for the film (this also being the text that is familiar to most readers).
The film DVD was released in the United States under the alternate title The Conqueror in 2010,[7] and in the UK in 2011 as Iron & Blood: The Legend of Taras Bulba.[7]
