2 First Look Photos From THE DEVIL’S HARVEST Starring Max Irons, Samantha Barks, Barry Pepper & Terence Stamp

Here’s your first look at THE DEVIL’S HARVEST starring Max Irons, Samantha Barks, Barry Pepper and Terence Stamp.

Principal photography wrapped on director George Mendeluk’s epic romance in Kiev on January 30th.

Shot on location in Ukraine and London, THE DEVIL’S HARVEST is an action-packed, dramatic tale of love and the importance of family, set against the backdrop of political upheaval in 1930s Ukraine. Yuri (Max Irons) is an artistic soul born into a family of Cossack warriors, who struggles to win the approval of his grandfather Ivan (Terence Stamp), father Yaroslav (Barry Pepper) and the heart of Natalka (Samantha Barks.) Yuri finds his life changed forever with the invasion of the Red Army and the subsequent persecution of his family and fellow countrymen as Stalin’s regime of terror extends across Eastern Europe.

THE DEVIL’S HARVEST also features Tamer Hassan (Dracula), Aneurin Barnard (The White Queen) and Tom Austen (Ironclad).

In addition to directing, George Mendeluk co-wrote the screenplay alongside Richard Bachynsky Hoover, from Hoover’s original story. Mendeluk produces with Jaye Gazeley and Chad Barager. Camilla Storey co-produces. Ian Ihnatowycz is the executive producer, while Richard Bachynsky executive produced in Ukraine. Douglas Milsome (Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, The Shining) is the cinematographer and Daniel Hubbard (Captain Phillips, The Bourne Ultimatum) handled the casting.

Mendeluk commented “I grew up with my mother describing how she and her family survived the terror of the Holodymor – the engineered famine/ genocide wrought by Stalin in Ukraine — where 7 million perished at a time when the world looked the other way. As you see in today’s media, his long shadow stills affects Ukraine today, but our story is essentially one of love triumphing over all that life throws at it”.
