The film’s producer, Alexandr Rodnyanskiy said: ‘The second film [set in year 2157] will be very different. It will be much more intense, emotional and action-packed with impressive battle scenes and large-scale depictions of war. At the same time the love story becomes more prominent, wherein the protagonist will set out on an adventure to save his beloved. In that sense, the second part is much more accessible fora wider audience.’
