Acquisition
Arklight Films and Well Go USA bought the U.S. distribution rights to the historical historical action-adventure “Tomris” centered on Queen Tomris during the 6th century BC.
The film, a joint production between Kazakhfilm Studios and Satafilm, focuses on uniting the divided nomadic tribes of Tomaris to form a strong nation capable of ousting Persia. Accounts According to historical accounts, Tomris and his army defeated Cyrus the Great in 530 AD.
Almira Tursin plays Tomiris with Adil Akhmetov and Aizan Leg, and they each do their own stunts. Akan Satyayev directed the film, which was dramatically released in Kazakhstan in October and became one of the highest-grossing films in the country’s history.
“We are grateful to live in a world where powerful women have a strong hunger for real-life stories that need to be told,” said Gary Hamilton, chairman of Arklight Films. “Tomris” tells a story like this, and combined with its stunning landscapes and exceptional production values, it is an epic film that will captivate audiences.
