Rogozin described making the world’s first feature film in space as a chance to raise the nation’s space prestige.
“No one had that experience before: to prepare people who had no relation whatsoever to the space program for a space flight,” he said, adding that it could be useful in the future if a need arises to urgently send an outside expert into orbit.ĭmitry Rogozin, head of the Russian state space corporation Roscosmos, was a key driving force behind the project. Shkaplerov insisted that his entertainment-world crewmates are fully ready for the flight after their fast-track training. Once on the space station, Shipenko said he will don a T-shirt that he always wears when he begins to shoot a new movie. Shipenko said he’s thrilled to be the first filmmaker in space and is keen to experiment with lighting, camera settings and other technical aspects. He described the four-month training course as very intensive, adding that while it didn’t turn him and Peresild into professional astronauts it made them well prepared for the mission.Īlso read | Daniel Craig on bidding James Bond goodbye in No Time to Die, next 007: ‘I will watch from afar’ One of Shipenko’s previous films, Salyut-7, told the real story of a challenging 1985 mission of two Soviet cosmonauts sent to resuscitate an abandoned space station. “Of course, we couldn’t make many things at the first try, and sometimes even at a third attempt, but it’s normal,” he said.
Shipenko, 38, has made several commercially successful movies, including Kholop (Serf), a 2019 movie that set a Russian box office record. “We thought a lot about it, and cosmonauts shared some life hacks.” “Some mornings could be difficult, even on Earth,” she said. She added that she realizes that zero gravity in orbit could be completely different and is gearing up for her first morning in orbit. The part of the training that Peresild liked the most was a flight imitating weightlessness, in which a plane goes into a steep dive to allow those inside about 20 seconds in zero gravity. There are so many acronyms, and if you don’t learn them all you won’t understand anything else further on.” Actress Yulia Peresild attends a news conference at the Russian launch facility in Kazakhstan. “For the first two weeks, I was learning it until 4 in the morning every night. “It didn’t come easy for me, to be honest,” she said. She said learning about the design and handling of the spacecraft was the most challenging part of the preparation for the flight.
