Interesting facts

  • Budget: $1M
  • Based on: Major Grom

Major Grom is a 2017 Russian short action film directed by Vladimir Besedin, based on the comic character Major Grom.

Production

The role of Igor Grom was also offered to actor Grigory Dobrygin. In the beginning, the original version ran at approximately 7 minutes, but in the production process, it became clear that the script had become too long, increasing the runtime to 25 minutes.

For the fight scenes in the bank, a special filming technique was developed, in which filming was done at 360-degree shots, previously not used either in Russia or in the rest of the world. The film takes place in the Rosgarantbank branch, a fictional bank from the Major Grom comic book universe.

The entire interior of the bank was built from the ground up: everything from the racks and cabinets, to ATMs, design letterhead, and bank cards. The total amount of money created to fill the bank vault exceeded $5 million.

The five-meter statue of Poseidon in an abandoned hotel was manufactured and installed specifically for the film. In order to shoot the car chase scenes, the producers blocked the whole block in the city center, and alternative routes for public traffic were developed. Specifically for the film, the production team redesigned the look of the Russian police and developed a new, unique service uniform, cars, and equipment.

A prequel comic book, called Major Grom: The Chance, was published.
