The Russian Bride is an upcoming American horror thriller motion picture written and directed by Michael S. Ojeda, starring Corbin Bernsen, Kristina Pimenova and Oksana Orlan.[1][2] Producers include Jeff Miller and Philip J Day.[2]

Principal photography on location in Lake Orion, Michigan occurred in March 2017.

Plot

Karl Frederick, an American billionaire living in a mansion outside Detroit, browses the internet for a new bride. He finds Nina, a beautiful Russian woman, and invites her and her 11-year old daughter Dasha to come to America.

After the marriage, it transpires that Karl has sinister plans with Dasha. Nina has to fight for her daughter's life.[1][2][3]

Theme

The film exposes the dark side of the internet bride phenomenon.

Every year, men entice Internet brides to a foreign land, only to treat their new wives as slaves. Behind tightly closed doors, neighbors, and even police, often ignore their cries for help. It’s a huge problem that needs light to be focused on to it.[4]

In response, The Russian Bride promotes the empowerment of women (girl power).[3]

According to one reporter, the script may have been inspired by the candidacy of newly elected US president billionaire Donald Trump.[5]

Production

The Russian Bride is a low-budget film by independent film company Reigning Entertainment.[1][3] A limited liability company was set up in Michigan to facilitate its production.[6] Most of the film's budget has been funded by private investors.[7]

The film counts several producers and executive producers, none associated with larger film studios.[1] Ojeda has teamed up with Day (The Amityville Terror), as well as Curtis and Zulkowski (53206: Milwaukee), before. Miller wrote and produced The Burning Dead. Den Broeder is a writer and the founder of Wikisage.

Casting

The film features child model Kristina Pimenova, who has over 7 million followers on social media, in her first lead role as Dasha.[2] Former Miss Ukraine Oksana Orlan (Orlenko), Ojeda's award-winning star in Lana's Rain, plays Nina, the bride. Corbin Bernsen, known for his role as Arnold Becker in L.A. Law, is billionaire Karl Frederick.[1]

Pimenova declared her desire to become a professional actress in an interview for Posh Kids Magazine.[8] Director Michael Ojeda, in the trailer's press release:

Kristina Pimenova is a talented and beautiful young model, and with the support of fans we hope this movie is the stepping stone to a huge career as an actress.[9]

Supporting and day player characters include Karl's maid Maria, his driver Hagen and uncle Yuri.[10] The trailer shows cameo appearances by producer Jeff Miller (clergyman) and Kristina's mother Glikeriya Pimenova (bride picture).

Filming

The film will be shot on an estate near Detroit, Michigan.[10] According to schedule, the production of The Russian Bride commences on March 10, 2017.[7]

Marketing

Pre-production saw the release of a 3-minute promotional trailer on January 18, 2017.[11] This was followed by a crowdfunding action for additional financial support. Donations amounted to over $15,000 in exchange for a variety of perks.[3]

Release

The crowdfunding page mentions a premiere in Los Angeles in November 2017 and also indicates a release on DVD.[3]
