When it comes to the great generals of all time, most people have heard of Alexander the Great and his successful conquest of most of the known world, but does anyone recall Jan Žižka? The 14th-century figure is a hero to the people of the Czech Republic, and Petr Jákl’s new film Medieval, starring Ben Foster as the title hero, aims to educate the masses using equal parts history and bloodshed.
Did you look to similarly scaled epic movies like Braveheart or Gladiator for inspiration when you thought about making a movie about Jan? I read that Medieval is the most expensive film ever for the Czech Republic. What were some of the challenges involved in directing such a huge film? Speaker 3 Yeah. A perfect example is Braveheart. With films like that and Medieval, you always have to feel that it’s real. but at the same time, you have to put all of that into a two-hour film. In Braveheart, the warriors had those famous blue war paint on their faces, which wasn’t historically accurate, but they used them because they looked great. And everybody remembers that Mel Gibson as Wallace had an affair with a French princess who wasn’t even born yet in real life.
