There’s a Metro 2033 movie in the works.
Variety reports various Gazprom Media subsidiaries have come together to produce the movie, which is based on Dmitry Glukhovsky’s novel. The novel was also the basis of 4A Games’ wonderfully atmospheric 2010 shooter.
Apparently filming is due to start in 2020, with the Russian premiere set for 1st January 2022. Director and cast are yet to be announced, but Glukhovsky is on hand to help out.
Producer Valery Fedorovich commented: “The book by this Russian author has become known throughout the world, and it is embedded in the cultural code of sci-fi fans and gamers all over the planet. For us and Gazprom Media Holding, this is a dream project, the most ambitious and large-scale film that we have ever launched. We intend to invest an unprecedented sum… in the production and promotion of this movie both in Russia and abroad.”
