The film "Lord of the Wind" with a release date in 2020 has not yet acquired actors and a trailer, but the plot is roughly clear to the average viewer. The director and producer of the project is Fyodor Bondarchuk, who plans to carry out large-scale work in order to maximize the popularization of the domestic product, not only within the borders of the Russian Federation, but also abroad.
Plot
A film based on real events and facts from the life of a professional adventurer - Fyodor Konyukhov. The picture tells about the last round the world trip of Fyodor Filippovich in a balloon, and also touches upon some aspects of the personality of the eminent ascetic.
Production
Director - Fyodor Bondarchuk ("Attraction", "Stalingrad", "Nowhere to Hurry", "9th Company").
Production team:
- Producers: Fyodor Bondarchuk ("Dyldy", "Invasion", "Let's Drive!"), Mikhail Vrubel ("Ghost", "Ice", "Jungle"), Alexander Andryushchenko ("Partner", "Fast Moscow-Russia" , "Freaks", "Black Lightning").

In 2018, the director Fyodor Sergeevich emphasized in his interview the scale of what was planned:
“We are working hard on the script. Negotiations are underway with IMAX, we want to make a large international project. God willing, we will start filming next year (2019) "
On May 14, 2019 at the 72nd Cannes Film Festival, a stand with Russian projects was presented (there were works "Attraction-2", "Ice-2", "Sputnik"), including Bondarchuk's film "Lord of the Wind", but when exactly the work there was no information released in Russia, tk. the news was mainly related to the issues of the project entering the international level.
F. konyukhov himself refused to participate in the film. Does this mean that the shooting is in jeopardy? It is unlikely, most likely, that the traveler will be played by one of the actors close to Bondarchuk (maybe Sasha Petrov?).
Let's not guess, that's what Fyodor Filippovich himself said:
“I will not play myself in The Lord of the Wind, many scenes will be made using computer graphics. I could be played by actor Vladimir Mashkov. "
From the words of the traveler it is clear that he simply receives the director as a guest and gives him tea, and Bondarchuk asks Konyukhov about everything in the world. This is like an in-depth interview or notes for an autobiography adaptation. Konyukhov is not an actor.

There is no doubt that such work in the country will cause a pleasant excitement, we love films about heroes. In the meantime, the film "Lord of the Wind" in 2020 is waiting for its release date, and we are waiting for the actors, a trailer and more information about the plot.
