The romantic comedy “I See You” goals to grow to be the primary western movie to launch a filmmaker into low-Earth orbit to shoot key scenes.
“I See You” will not be fully shot in orbit, however will combine in-space footage with recorded inventory footage. This formidable challenge hails from Italian producer Andrea Iervolino (“Ferrari,” “To The Bone”), his distinctive astro-centric Space11 Corp manufacturing firm, and screenwriters Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider. At the moment, a lead filmmaker has but to be decided and any particular plot or casting particulars have been saved secret.
“I See You” hopes to start taking pictures in 2026, however with crowded launch schedules, that date might change. Of course, the key required element of making this all happen is booking a seat aboard a crewed spaceflight — and that process appears to still be in the works.
Still, adding to the project’s credibility is Scott Kelly, the author, speaker, and former NASA astronaut who set records for his year-long stay on the International Space Station. Kelly will soon add another Hollywood advisor gig to his resume of accomplishments when he joins the upcoming production for a romantic drama set in the vacuum of space.
As a seasoned astronaut who flew to space four times on various missions over the course of a 17-year NASA career, Kelly is completely qualified to aid the producer, actors, and director in setting up safety measures and making suggestions on how best to complete this risky proposal.
According to Deadline, Kelly is anticipated to “lend his first-hand experience to make sure authenticity within the portrayal of human endurance, isolation, and emotional connection within the vastness of area.”
“Having Scott Kelly on board is a rare honor,” Iervolino instructed Deadline. “His expertise brings emotional reality and scientific realism to our imaginative and prescient — reminding us that love and humanity transcend each boundary, even within the silence of area.”
In 2023, the Russian characteristic known as “The Problem” did shoot sure sequences in area to be edited into the completed product, giving it the excellence of being the primary ever to take action. And naturally we have all learn information over the previous few years of “Fringe of Tomorrow” director Doug Liman working with Tom Cruise and SpaceX for a significant challenge shot fully in outer area, however that looks as if way more of a wishful dream than an precise concrete challenge in improvement.
