On the afternoon of October 5, the Russian Soyuz MS-19 spacecraft flew to the International Space Station on a Soyuz rocket.
In addition to a few astronauts, two special passengers were added to the voyage: the 38-year-old director Klim Shipenko, and the 37-year-old actress Yuliya Peresild.
They went to space to make a science fiction movie.
The plot of the film is the story of an astronaut who fell ill in the space station and was unable to return to the earth. The earth sent a surgeon to save him from space.
Director Klim Shipenko has also made a space science fiction film called “Salyut-7” before.
Maybe he didn’t think it would be fun to shoot without real scenes, so he chose to shoot in space for the new film.
The film was supported by the Russian National Aerospace Corporation, and Rogozin, the company’s president, was one of the film’s producers.
He said that the purpose of Russia’s filming of this film is to showcase Russian spacecraft and space technology and popularize commercial space flight.
So this time the director and actors are considered to be space travel at public expense, which is really enviable.
Just want to ask: Do you still need extras?
