This is the first I’m hearing about the Russian film OBITAEMYY OSTROV (THE INHABITED ISLAND). Before I get into anything else, let me show you the synopsis: The year 2157. The blossom times for the human civilization. Pilots of the Freelance Search Group enjoy interstellar travelling . A Russian spacecraft, piloted by a 22 year old Maxim Kammerer, crashes on the distant inhabited Saraksh planet. After long years of a nuclear war, an environmental crisis reigns over the planet, the society is overburdened with social problems, and the established peace is quite shaky. The brave astronaut will explore a mysterious land governed by the Unknown Fathers who are five anonymous rulers manipulating the inhabitants’ consciousness using special emitters. There Maxim will meet new friends, make enemies, find his love and, after getting through dangerous trials, hunger, mortal hazards and losses, will lead a rebel movement challenging the five greedy rulers.
That’s straight from the official website and sounds like an awesome time. The film is based off the book of the same title by Arkadi Strugatsky and Boris Strugatsky. It’s directed by Fyodor Bondarchuk and stars Gosha Kutsenko, Sergey Garmash, Anna Mikhalkova, Aleksey Serebryakov, Mikhail Evlanov, Andrey Merzlikin, Fyodor Bondarchuk, Leonid Gromov, and Yuriy Tsurilo.
THE INHABITED ISLAND will actually be broken down into two films, the first being released in January 2009. Twitch dropped a few of the new teaser trailers for everyone to check out. One of them can be found below, just head on over here for the others. Now mind you, they’re teasers in every sense of the word. I’ve also attached a vid showing a lot more of what to expect from THE INHABITED ISLAND.
