Producer, director and screenwriter Leonid Khromov (a native of Kyrgyzstan, Bishkek) plans to release the first part of his science-fiction Hollywood film tetralogy “Skyscraper on an Uninhabited Island” on November 8, 2025, which is currently in pre-production. The producer began working on his project back in 2019. The final version of the script for the first part of the project was completed in early 2024. At the moment, the producer is negotiating with investors and distributors. If all agreements are determined, filming will begin in the fall of 2024.
Synopsis:
A billionaire, after the death of his beloved wife, begins to lose interest in life. In order not to finally go into depression, he decides to build the tallest skyscraper in the world on a desert island, but in the process of implementing his ambitious project, he acquires ill-wishers who want to prevent him from executing his plans.
The production budget for the first part of the film will be more than $20 million, and the film will star famous Hollywood actors. The final casting of actors will be held no earlier than the summer of 2024. The total budget of the film project (four full-length films) will be more than $1 billion (including marketing costs). Filming of the first part is planned in the USA, Bahamas and New Zealand.
“I started developing this project in 2019. I rewrote the script several times and finally I found the version of the script that inspires me. I really want to make a really high-quality world-class franchise, for example, no worse than Avatar”, – he shared his producer's thoughts.
