The most eagerly anticipated Turkish movie of the year, “Fetih 1453” (The Conquest 1453), finally hit movie theaters on Thursday.

The first showing of the film, which opened in 134 theaters across Turkey, started exactly at 14:53 in the afternoon (2:53 p.m.) in all theaters.

Having been in production for more than two years, the release of “The Conquest 1453” raised the level of anticipation among movie fans in Turkey. Directed by Faruk Aksoy, the film is also notable for its budget, which at $17 million makes it the most expensive film made in the history of Turkish cinema.

Three life-sized galleys were built for scenes of a sea battle.

Over 10,000 pieces of war equipment of various types and accessories were produced for use as props in the movie along with 20 life-size observation towers and five big trebuchets that are each 15 meters tall.

A total of 15,000 extras took part in the movie.

The film’s main cast members took horse-riding and fencing lessons. Twenty tailors made the costumes for the movie using 44,000 meters of fabric.

A total of 250 horses and 40 water buffalos were used in the movie.

just watched the trailer, biggest heap of propaganda since... oh its turkey.. so since yesterday.

I will watch this, probably because i like well made movies, but to make the Turks look like the victims, and the Greeks the aggressors is a load of bullshit, as well as making Greek Varangian guards look swarthy, while the Turkish individual starring almost looks like a common Italian a load of bullocks.

what a joke.

How is it any different from 300 where filmmakers portrayed the King of Persia as some kind of nigger. :P

300 was an awful movie, this one looks shit as well.
Why can't they make some historically accurate movies instead of this crap aimed at people with an IQ slightly above 65.

don't get me started on 300 haha.. but that's hollywood what do you expect.. they make a holocaust movie almost every week LOL.

If anything, this movie will only stir anti-Turkish feelings and make Europeans want to take back Constantinople from Eastern barbarians.
