Russia is getting its own alien-themed disaster epic in Fedor Bondarchuk’s sci-fi actioner Invasion, the sequel to his 2017 blockbuster Attraction that’s opening overseas on January 1, 2020.
Variety shares the English-dubbed Imax trailer for Invasion, which follows the first film in which Moscow becomes the battleground for all-out war against an army of alien invaders. In the sequel, an alien spaceship crash lands in Moscow, and an ordinary girl gains superpowers that make her the focus of study in secret government labs. But it’s not only the humans who are interested in her new powers, and she will have to decide which side she is on.
The cast includes Irina Starshenbaum, Rinal Mukhametov, Alexander Petrov and Yuriy Borisov.
In January the film will also be released in Germany, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Ex-Yugoslavia, Сyprus and Israel with a limited release in the U.S. also forthcoming.
