Metro 2033 will be adapted into a movie with an unprecedented investment scale

According to foreign media Variety, Gazprom-Media, Russia's largest media holding company, will adapt the novel "Metro 2033" by Russian writer Dmitry Glukhovsky into a movie of the same name. Many people may have played "Metro 2033" produced by 4A Games, but this movie will be adapted from the novel.

According to foreign media Variety, the film version of "Metro 2033" will start shooting in 2020 and is expected to be officially released on January 1, 2022. Although there is news that the film will only premiere in Russia, many people are also saying that the film will also be released in other places.

Metro 2033 is the first novel in Dmitry Glukhovsky's Metro series. It is a post-apocalyptic work that contains survivors, factional struggles and a lot of political elements. In order to survive after the "nuclear war", the people of Moscow have to live in the subway tunnels, where they have to manage various resources and face the "threat" outside.

"This work is known to readers and gamers around the world and incorporates the cultural codes of science fiction fans and gamers around the world," said Valery Fedorovich, producer of the film Metro 2033. "For us and Gazprom-Media, this is a dream project, the most ambitious and largest film we have ever launched. We intend to invest unprecedented funds in film production and promotion in Russia and abroad ."

This is not the first time that the Metro 2033 novel has been adapted. MGM has tried it before, but there were problems with the film's script because the plot takes place in Washington, which does not match any themes and plot elements in the original work. The copyright was then returned to the original author Dmitry Glukhovsky in 2018.

The film version of "Metro 2033" is expected to premiere in Russia on January 1, 2022.
