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. Post-production was entered in May.[3]
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][4]
Theme
The film exposes the dark side of the internet bride phenomenon.[5]
- 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.[6]
In response, The Russian Bride promotes the empowerment of women (girl power).[4]
According to one reporter, the script may have been inspired by the candidacy of newly elected US president billionaire Donald Trump.[7]
Production
The Russian Bride is a low-budget film by independent film company Reigning Entertainment.[1][4] A limited liability company was set up in Michigan to facilitate its production.[8] Most of the film's budget has been funded by private investors.[9]
The film counts a number of producers and executive producers, none associated with larger film studios.[1] Ojeda has teamed up with Day (The Amityville Terror), Gurvitz (Avenged), Curtis and Zulkowski (53206: Milwaukee) before. Miller wrote and produced The Burning Dead.
Casting
The film features child model Kristina Pimenova, who has millions of 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.[10] Director Michael Ojeda, in the teaser 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.[11]
Supporting characters include Karl's maid Maria, his driver Hagen, and uncle Yuri.[12] The teaser trailer shows cameo appearances by producer Jeff Miller (clergyman) and Kristina's mother Glikeriya Pimenova (bride picture).[1]
