"A secret unit of Russian soldiers..." 4Digital Media has released an official Us trailer for a Russian WWII action movie titled Secret Weapon, not to be confused the handful of other recent Russian WWII movies (e.g. Tanks for Stalin). Russia still loves to show off how proud they are of winning WWII and how much they're better than everyone because of that.

Admittedly, I know very little about upcoming Russian film Skazka Xxi and I must concede the possibility that maybe, perhaps, this would all make more sense if I understood the context. But I doubt it. Here's what I do know:
It is the product of three directors - Aleksander Barshak, Yelizaveta Solomina and Konstantin Statsky - and is a full on musical. It features Night Watch and Wanted actor Konstantin Khabensky in a mad scientist wig. It features omnipresent Russian tough guy - and Khabensky's Night Watch cohort - Yury Kutsenko wearing remarkably bad eyebrow makeup. It has a robot man whose costume is basically just a cardboard box, a sad sailor bear, and a family of toys comes to life who are far to happy to be in a bathroom together. This, my friends, is weird. And also kind of awesome.
