Impatient to See Wolfhound But Don't Speak Russian?

A Good many people were rather disappointed when the Russian DVD release of fantasy epic Wolfhound was announced without English subtitles since all of the released footage was leaving fans of the genre licking their chops and, well, frankly, hardly anybody outside of Russia speaks Russian. But, hey! It'll take a little bit of work and a piece of software or two, but life just got a whole lot easier ... Iain at Fantasy Filmscapes just dropped a note to let me know that his site is now hosting a complete, fan translated, English language subtitle script for the film timed to match the Russian DVD release. So if you're impatient to see the film and you're not afraid to tinker around a bit with subtitle software to get these things overlaid on the picture, you're all set to go ... The film apparently sold extremely well at the recent European Film Market so an official English subtitled release can't be far off but this should hold you over in the meantime.

I actually had a chance to see the film recently and it totally lived up to expectations. Apparently the Russian press was rather harsh on it expecting something closer to the source novels and, perhaps, expecting something on par with The Lords of the Rings films. This is far pulpier than LotR, far more an intentional b-film, but for someone such as myself who grew up on Beastmaster, Krull, Conan, Willow and other great fantasy adventure films in the eighties this scratches that itch perfectly and does so with far better production values.
