According to reports, the film takes the "Ark Plan" as an important clue, telling the story of the deterioration of the earth's environment in the next decade, the exhaustion of resources, and several Chinese successfully cracked a mysterious message from the moon, thus saving the earth. The film also invited the American "godfather" Andy Garcia to the scene.

Audiences familiar with science fiction films and television will not be unfamiliar with the name "Iron Sky". In 2012, the film was a great success as soon as it came out, and its unique humorous style, wild creativity, and deconstruction and reconstruction of history all aroused heated discussion, becoming a dark horse in the field of science fiction films that year. This time, "Island of Hope" specially invited the ghost director of "Iron Sky" Timo Warrensola to be the director, hoping to continue the consistent personality charm in his works. Pictured here is director Timo Warren Sola at the boot ceremony.
Timo Warrensola himself is both a veteran science fiction movie fan and a computer genius, and his films such as "Steel Sky" and "Interstellar Wreckage" are well-known among geek fans, not only ranking among the "Twelve Upstarts of Hollywood Science Fiction Directors", but also being called "the next Spielberg" by science fiction fans.
(For more excitement, please pay attention to the headline number "Fish Eyes see the world")
Produced by China Film Co., Ltd., Jiabo Cultural Development Co., Ltd. and Jebsen Century Culture Industry Group Co., Ltd., and co-produced by Beijing New Film Association Film Co., Ltd., Iron Sky Universe and other companies, "Island of Hope" is a film that integrates the wisdom and efforts of Chinese and Western filmmakers. Unlike many popcorn blockbusters that carry the banner of "Chinese elements" and actually accompany Chinese elements throughout the whole process, this time "Hope Island" takes China as its home field, and the Chinese characters save the world, providing a perspective that makes the Chinese people proud.
Through the trailer released earlier, it can be seen that the story line of "Hope Island" will have a mysterious connection with the well-known Chinese legend "Chang'e Running Moon". On the concept poster of the movie, the astronaut's arm and the lunar rover he drives have a clear Chinese flag, showing the spectacular scene of the Chinese astronaut landing on the moon.

In terms of film actors, Duan Yihong, the Chinese double film emperor, will cooperate with Hollywood star and "godfather" Andy Garcia to achieve a real "two-male duel" between Chinese and foreign film emperors. Duan Yihong's role in many films is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which makes people look forward to it, and won the Best Actor Award at the 18th Shanghai Film Festival with "Burning Heart of the Sun" and the Best Actor Award at the 30th Tokyo International Film Festival with "Blizzard Is Coming".
Andy Garcia is well known for playing the role of the young godfather in "The Godfather 3", and he has won a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award nomination for his solid acting skills. At the same time, the new generation of actor Feng Xiaoyue also joined the film, and what kind of sparks will collide between the powerful film emperor and the new Xiaosheng is particularly exciting.
Duan Yihong said that this is a science fiction film with a relatively balanced balance of "technology and art", and he strives to create a good role and present a new interpretation to the audience.
Duan Yihong and Andy Garcia, the two film emperors, feel sorry for each other, and Duan Yihong said that he is a fan of Andy Garcia and appreciates him as an actor's role model. Andy Garcia said that the experience of shooting in China was unforgettable, and he recognized many excellent Chinese filmmakers.
