HELIOS MOVIE MOVIE
As an early attempt at the postmodern martial arts movie its now somewhat dated and pretentious, but at the time it was an exhilarating and unexpected work. THE BLADE because its action is so awesome. Probably the closest we'll ever have to a Tsui Hark musical, unless you count bits of his other films. SHANGHAI BLUES because it does a lot of what PEKING OPERA BLUES did but adds romance, music and Sylvia Chang and Kenny Bee. I've called PEKING OPERA BLUES the "perfect Hong Kong film" and I'll probably never change my mind. Reasons for its awesomeness include its unique mixture of genres, its breakneck pacing, its action, its cultural flavor, its use of history and Chinese nationalism, its strong female characters, Kenneth Tsang's facial hair, and finally the actresses, the actresses and the actresses. PEKING OPERA BLUES because it distills everything that was great about Hong Kong Cinema into a single film. I'd ask for someone to make Hong Kong Cinema great again but that would likely be upsetting.

Principal photography on the HELIOS movie is slated to begin in 2023.

I’m proud HELIOS will showcase what is realistically feasible and possible with technology that our industry is developing in space, providing continued benefits for all humankind,” said executive producer Robert Feierbach. “Orbital Reef bridged the gap we needed between science fiction and reality. Orbital Reef recently passed its System Requirements Review (SRR) and System Definition Review (SDR) with NASA. The Orbital Reef team continues to achieve critical milestones as it prepares to operate as a mixed-use business park in the second half of this decade. Together with our partners, we’re building Orbital Reef as the basis of a vibrant human space ecosystem.” “Our mission is to benefit Earth by opening the solar system. “We are thrilled the HELIOS movie team chose Orbital Reef to represent a real space destination in this production,” said Brent Sherwood, Senior Vice President of Advanced Development Programs, Blue Origin. This unique destination will provide the essential infrastructure needed to scale economic activity and open new markets in space, including tourism, entertainment, research, and manufacturing. Orbital Reef is a commercially developed, owned, and operated space station to be built in low Earth orbit. “In an era where science fiction films are abundant, we decided early on that we wanted to make a film that was authentic in technology and demonstrates true solutions available to humanity in such a time of crisis,” said HELIOS producer John Lewis, Vice President and partner of Andrea Iervolino’s Space 11 Corp Aerospace. Throughout the movie, Orbital Reef is featured as the latest-generation space station used as a critical resource by the HELIOS crew. Orbital Reef Featured as a Critical Space Resource “We teamed up with Blue Origin to give moviegoers a thrilling, but realistic depiction of the future of living and working in space and a coordinated response to a space weather emergency,” said Patricia A.

When a massive solar flare hits the station, it is up to astronomer and former NASA astronaut Jess Denver and Air Force Colonel Sam Adler to team up and save humanity. Set in 2030, the film will tell the story of a spaceship, the HELIOS, and its crew during their urgent mission to the International Space Station (ISS). “We teamed up with Blue Origin to give moviegoers a thrilling, but realistic depiction of the future of living and working in space and a coordinated response to a space weather emergency.” Writer Patricia A. The Orbital Reef team, led by partners Blue Origin and Sierra Space, announced at the 73rd International Astronautical Congress a cross-promotional deal with Centerboro Productions to portray the mixed-use space station in the HELIOS feature film.
