[i]During a recent funding pitch to the Russian Federal Fund for Social and Economic Support of Domestic Cinematography, executive producer Konstantin Ernst of the TV station First Channel and director Klim Shipenko, who plans to travel to the ISS, shared fresh details about the script and production logistics involved. Shipenko revealed the script is still being fine-tuned, but the plot involves a cosmonaut who suffers a cardiac arrest during a spacewalk and, although he survives, he will require surgery to ensure he can handle the Soyuz return to Earth. A female cardiac surgeon, named Zhenya, has to be sent to the ISS to perform the procedure with only a few weeks to prepare for the trip. Shipenko explained that he that he plans to shoot 35 to 40 minutes of screen time onboard the ISS during a 12-day stay, and he will have combine numerous roles, including director, camera operator and makeup artist. ...[executive producer Konstantin] Ernst revealed further members of the cast including Russian cosmonauts Oleg Novitsky and Pyotr Dubrov, who have been in space since April. It was, perhaps, inevitable that they would be involved in some way, as Shipenko will clearly only be able to work with people who are on the ISS with him and the actress. It is not clear if NASA, ESA or JAXA astronauts who will be on the ISS when filming takes place will be invited to participate.[/i]
