PRESS RELEASE
A NEW FANTASY CINEMATIC UNIVERSE INSPIRED BY TURKISH MYTHOLOGY: YEŞİM TAŞI EFSANESİ
Drawing on the ancient narratives of Turkish mythology, Yeşim Taşı Efsanesi is preparing to open the doors to a new cinematic universe in the fantasy adventure genre.
Adapted for cinema from Ömer Ünal’s book series of the same name, published by Kronik Yayınları, Yeşim Taşı Efsanesi is built around an expansive fantasy universe developed for the big screen. Serdar Çetinkaya and Murat Akkuş created the project and its universe. Çetinkaya directs and produces the film, while Murat Akkuş writes the screenplay.
Yeşim Taşı Efsanesi centres on a great adventure that begins when Oğuz, Umay and Berk find themselves in a fantasy world entirely unknown to them. Their journey draws the three friends into the heart of an ancient struggle between the Green World and the Dark World, with friendship, courage, solidarity and a connection with nature forming the foundation of the story.
From Dede Korkut and Bilge Kağan to Tulpar and Büke, from Ulu Kayın to Arçura, the film draws on the motifs, symbols and narrative heritage of Turkish mythology. With its distinctive landscapes, characters, creatures and mythological structure, it aims to bring an expansive fantasy world to the screen, one that can open into different stories and new adventures.
The film’s creative and technical production also makes use of next-generation production technologies and AI-assisted visual creation methods. With Tayfun Tuna as AI director and Sefa Özkan as assistant director, technology serves as one of the creative tools used to develop the film’s visual world. Anıl Tekin serves as AI Supervisor on Yeşim Taşı Efsanesi, while Cihan Köse is the editing director.
Directed by Altay Çapan, the voice cast of Yeşim Taşı Efsanesi includes Sinan Pekinton and Olcay Kavuzlu, as well as Ceylin Ada, known online as @cey_lazuli. Ceylin Ada lends her voice to Umay, one of the film’s main characters.
Dora Durak serves as the film’s music director.
Oya Atalay, responsible for Press & Communications, coordinates the communication strategy, brand positioning, media and publicity processes, and digital communication work for Yeşim Taşı Efsanesi.
Aiming to introduce new generations to the rich narrative heritage of Turkish mythology through the language of fantasy cinema, Yeşim Taşı Efsanesi also marks the first step in a new fantasy cinematic universe born in Türkiye, with the potential to grow through different stories.
Yeşim Taşı Efsanesi, coming soon to cinemas.
