American viewers will be able to watch a movie about the Chernobyl catastrophe shot by Russian actor and director Danila Kozlovsky, RIA Novosti reports. Capelight Pictures bought the rights to screen it in North American countries and German-speaking cointries.
The film will also be shown to South Korean and Japanese viewers, Israeli, Latin American, and Spanish audiences, as well as in the Baltic republics.
The film is the first large-scale Russian project on the Chernobyl accident. The feature by Danila Kozlovsky, in which he plays one of the main roles, tells about a fireman, diver and engineer who decided to go on a life-threatening mission in the reactor area to prevent another explosion.
The film was shot at a nuclear power plant in the Kursk region. In addition to Danila Kozlovsky, Oksana Akinshina, Ravshan Kurkova and other famous Russian actors starred in the film.
The American public is familiar with the Chernobyl disaster after the successful HBO series. But many authors and directors have something else to say about this major event. The screening of the film in Russia will begin in autumn.
