Yep, it's a co-production between Studio 4°C and Molot Entertainment who're Russian-Canadian (mostly Russian, according to an earlier post in this thread). More at
ANN.

Skyfall's right, it's always risky to discuss nationalism in an anime thread (unless flamewars are your idea of fun). But it did intrigue me that the knights weren't just thrown in because someone thought they'd look cool. With Studio 4°C's name on the bill I doubt they'll have problems finding international distributors, but I wonder if resonance between the historical references and current events will also help sell the film outside Russia...
Do we know yet what language(s) the movie will be voiced in?
