It so happened historically that the work of Russian directors in Hollywood is rarely appreciated. There are enough of their own teachers, what can I hide? Therefore, each advance of our filmmakers towards the West can now be considered an achievement.
So it was with Ilya Nashuller, who became close friends with the American producers. So it was with Yegor Abramenko, whose Sputnik was liked by Netflix. So it happened now with Klim Shipenko, who implemented the grandiose plan of the First Channel to shoot the first feature film in space.

It turned out that the American director and producer Brett Ratner (“Rush Hour”, “X-Men”, “Survivor”) met with Shipenko and saw one of the first blockbusters “Challenge”, which Klim and Yulia Peresild filmed in the ISS. . Delight and euphoria hit Ratner with his head, and he couldn’t help but share it on social media.
“I just watched one of the most innovative movies I’ve ever seen,” the surprised American signed a selfie with Shipenko. “First director in history to go into space to shoot a major movie!” He pushed Tom Cruise to the idea of filming in space, and now Tom will have to film on the moon.
Brett compared The Defiance to Gravity and Armageddon, but noted that the Russian film has “great heart and humor”.
– This is real, as it was filmed in space! – emphasized the American. What a great achievement! Congratulations to Klim and his cast and crew! I’m proud to have a friend, a great and talented director, and an astronaut to boot! Even more impressive than his talent is that he is the 575th person in history to have been in space! I’m proud to be the first to see the movie.

It is curious that Ratner, immersed in the Hollywood agenda better than any Russian, revealed the true state of affairs: it turns out that Tom Cruise was inspired by the idea of Shipenko and Channel One, and not the other way around, as everyone is wrong. thought.
As we remember, the star of the Mission Impossible franchise, with the support of Elon Musk, was going to fly into space to shoot a movie there. I wonder how it will end, because to get past the Russians, Cruise and Musk will have to fly to at least the Moon or Mars. In which Shipenko, by the way, also put the look of him.
The film “The Challenge” will be released in Russian distribution on April 20, 2023.
