Attraction is the first Russian film about an extraterrestrial invasion.
Fedor Bondarchuk initially planned to only produce Attraction, but after he read the draft of the screenplay he just couldn’t stop thinking about it.
A confidentiality agreement was signed with every single member of the film crew before the shooting began. For the first time in Russian filmmaking history, mobile phones were not allowed on the set, and their cameras were sealed with special non-transparent stickers.
During one of the shots Alexander Petrov broke through a glass door with his leg and suffered a seri-ous ligament rupture. He had to use a pair of crutches for a few months, but it almost didn’t affect the filming schedule, Petrov was willing to do all his scenes himself (sometimes, standing on one foot), without a stunt man.
