Attraction is a new film by Fedor Bondarchuk who shot Russia’s highest-grossing release Stalingrad. The movie offers a large-scale sci-fi chronicle of the mankind whose life is forever changed by a mysterious flying space object crashing over Moscow. It is a delicately told heart-piercing story of people trying to get used to the new life, understand each other and embrace an unknown future through the tough times.
This visually rich action features a mind-blowing and most realistic CGI. This challenging and high-technology movie brought together some of the world’s and Russia’s top talents working in film production including MainRoadlPost, Russia’s leading visual effects production that was behind such blockbusters as Wanted, Stalingrad and many others; and Dave Whitehead who developed the film’s unique vivid sound design and whose credits include such movie hits as Arrival, King Kong, District 9, Elysium and The Hobbit. Currently the film is scheduled to be released in 43 countries.
Fedor Bondarchuk, Director, Producer, says: “I should say it was a self-challenge for me. I have been looking for a while for material that is worth spending 3 years of my life again. “ATTRACTION” is quite another type of film that is different from my other movies. It has a very fast-paced and concentrated timing of today. Nowadays the rhythm of day to day life is so roaring, never stopping and not at all quite, that it was the inspiration making me want to film this movie. For the time being “Attraction” rights were sold to 43 markets – the film will be released on most of the Eastern markets (China, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan, Brunei), as well as in Germany. We screened the film at AFM 2016 in Los Angeles for the first time as a whole and added Italy and France to our theatrical release list. At the moment, we’re negotiating with distributors from North America and English-speaking markets.”
