Film, TV or theatrical adaptations
In 2005, The State Counsellor was turned into a film starring Oleg Menshikov as Fandorin and Nikita Mikhalkov as Prince Pozharsky. The two-hour theatrical release was then expanded into a 31⁄2 hour version which was shown on Russian television. It was one of the most expensive Russian films ever made.[1]
