Earth at the Window: Julia Peresild, Sandra Bullock and Other Actresses Who Starred in Space Movies

The Russian actress played a major role in Klim Shipenko’s film “Challenge”. In addition to script reading and rehearsals, the pre-filming period also included training in Star City. Yulia trained on a par with cosmonauts, and as a result, the childhood dream of many Soviet children came true – she flew into space. Peresild and Shipenko spent 12 days in orbit. The footage was included in the film “Challenge”, where, according to the plot, the thoracic surgeon Zhenya must prepare for space flight in a month and go to the ISS to save the astronaut.

Alfonso Cuarón’s film became one of the main cinematic events of 2013. The picture received seven Oscars, although it was criticized by experts for a number of technical inaccuracies. But in the end, the film still turned out spectacular.
