Details about the film
What the movie will be about
In 1984, a group of scientists recorded incomprehensible sounds, similar to the screams of human voices. And what is most interesting - they were heard at a depth of 12 kilometers from the Kola superdeep well. After such seemingly incredible and mysterious events, the object was closed and classified. A research group of several people decides to go underground and find out the secret of the well. What they found there turned out to be the greatest threat to humanity.
How was filmed
The script for the tape has been in development since 2018. It was produced by Sergey Torchilin (Horoscope for Good Luck, Brownie, Vangelia).
“Studying the history of the Kola well, I was very surprised: the events that took place there attracted the attention of journalists from all over the world,” says Torchilin. - But despite this, the documents about the well are still classified. I had to visit those places myself. I learned a lot and realized that the legend of Kola is a potential film project. "
The producer also said that the film crew was faced with the task of maximally showing the effect of the presence at a depth of 12 km underground.
The shooting process for several months took place both in Moscow, in specially built scenery, and in the Murmansk region beyond the Arctic Circle. Invaluable support for the production of the tape was provided by the people working on the well in the vicinity. The film crew also had to visit the conditions of a real mine at a depth of 200 m.
The main role in the film was played by the actress Milena Radulovic, whose particular popularity was brought by the project "Balkan Frontier". It is on the shoulders of her heroine that the difficult task of saving the planet falls.
“As soon as I was approved for the role, I immediately began to study the scientific literature, I turned to consultants for help. My heroine is a very purposeful and sensitive girl, in this we are similar to her. I can say that this film project has become a real challenge for me - this concerns both the emotional experience and the number of action scenes. I did 95% of the tricks myself, ”says Radulovic.
It is known that the tape will be released not only in Russia, but also in several other countries. The Russian premiere of the film "Kola Superdeep" is scheduled for autumn 2020, photos from the shooting and footage are already online.
