Earth stars in the window: Julia Peresild, Sandra Bullock and other actresses who starred in films about space

The Russian actress played the main role in Klim Šipenko’s film “Challenge”. In addition to reading the script and rehearsals, the preparatory period for filming also included training in the Star City. Julia trained at the same level as cosmonauts, and thanks to this, 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, chest surgeon Zhenya must prepare for a space flight in a month and go to the ISS to save an astronaut.

Alfonso Cuarón’s film became one of the main film events of 2013. The film won seven Oscars, despite the fact that experts criticized it for a number of technical inaccuracies. But in the end, the film still turned out spectacularly. In the story, astronaut Ryan Stone, played by Bullock, must return to Earth alone after a disaster in space takes the life of her partner, played by George Clooney.

The actress played one of the central roles, the scientist Amelia Brand, in the sci-fi film Interstellar directed by Christopher Nolan. The twisted plot follows a group of scientists who venture into space to explore opportunities to save humanity while crop failures and dust storms rage on Earth. Space travel is complicated by the fact that time flows differently on different planets.

In the film Proxima, the French actress played an astronaut who spends a year in orbit. He is undergoing training in Russia, but in addition to the physical burden, he will have to cope with emotions. Space has been her dream since childhood, but now to fulfill it, she will have to endure separation from her daughter.

The actress hasn’t had to try on the space suit yet, but she played a neurophysiologist in the fantastic Russian thriller Sputnik about how an astronaut brings an unknown parasitic life form to Earth. According to the plot, it is the heroine Akinshina who must figure out how to isolate the “alien” and break his connection with the “owner”.
