Nuremberg is a 2023 Russian historical drama film written and directed by Nikolai Lebedev about the Nuremberg trials. The script was based on the book Forever and Eternal by Alexander Zvyagintsev.

Production

The project was announced at the end of 2018 by the then Russian Minister of Culture Vladimir Medinsky. Elmira Aynulova was chosen as the producer.

In 2019 the film's script was changed. This, as well as the involvement of foreign actors and the need to film abroad, led to an increase in the cost of the project: Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev approved the allocation of an additional 200 million rubles from the state reserve fund. Konstantin Khabensky, Nikita Mikhalkov, Oliver Stone were considered as candidates for directors, but in the end Nikolai Lebedev became the director.

Principal photography was supposed to begin in the spring of 2020 in the Czech Republic. They were postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic and began in April 2021 in Prague and continued in June at Mosfilm.

For the filming of the film at Mosfilm, the courtroom of the Nuremberg Palace of Justice was recreated in life-size (330 square meters). The decoration complex “Hall 600” was transferred to the Moscow Patriot Park as a museum exhibit for use in historical and educational work with visitors.
