There’s still a war going on in Ukraine. In fact, an apartment building was hit by a Russian Cruise missile over the weekend. With that said, where it can, life is still finding a way to go on, and that seems to include the film industry. The first film since the Russian Invasion earlier this year has started filming in cities around the country (Including Kyiv and Lviv) and it is called The Day I Met Spider-Man.
THR is reporting that the film, which tells “the story of a war volunteer who discovers she has supernatural powers.” Filming actually started in early May, under the Ukrainian shingle Mamas Production house.
Per THR:
The plot of the film follows a war volunteer who discovers supernatural powers within her that enable her to save a boy from the massacre of Bucha, the suburb of Kyiv where, according to substantial photographic, video and satellite imagery evidence, Russia forces systematically murdered civilians as the withdrew from the city.
“You may know the story of Peter Parker, who became Spider-Man. You may have heard the story of Bruce Wayne wearing a Batman outfit. We will tell you the story of Katya — a volunteer who felt an inner superpower,” said Anton Skrypets, a co-producer on The Day I Met Spiderman, who came up with the original idea for the film.
The plan is to secure international release for the film across multiple platforms later this year.
