Deadline сообщает, что сопродюсер «Матрицы» и « Джокер» снимет ремейк российского фантастического фильма «Спутник». Премьера картины в России состоялась в апреле 2020-го.

The production will be handled by three studios: XYZ Films, Village Roadshow Pictures and 6th & Idaho. The latter is directed by Matt Reeves, who is currently directing the new Batman. He will co-produce with Fedor Bondarchuk (Art Pictures) and Ilya Stewart (Hype Film).

The director of the original film, Yegor Abramenko, together with Alina Tyazhlova, Mila Rozanova and Pavel Bureya, also became producers. Jillian Apfelbaum, who previously worked on Clint Eastwood’s Drug Courier, has been appointed to oversee the project.

The events of the original film take place in the USSR in the 1980s during the Cold War. A young female doctor is hired by the military to evaluate an astronaut who survived a mysterious space catastrophe and returned to Earth with a dangerous organism living inside him. 

In Russia, the premiere of the picture took place online. For the first time, Russian horror topped the iTunes rating in the United States.
