Former NASA Astronaut Joins Pioneering "Romantic Space" Movie Venture

In a groundbreaking move, former NASA astronaut Scott Kelly has teamed up with Italian producer Andrea Iervolino and his Space11 Corp banner to work on an upcoming "romantic space drama" titled I See You. As the film's astronaut advisor, Kelly, who commanded the International Space Station and was the first American to spend an entire year aboard, will lend his first-hand expertise to ensure authenticity in the portrayal of human endurance, isolation, and emotional connection in the vastness of space.

Iervolino is currently in advanced discussions to secure a rocket that will carry a filmmaker into space to capture a scene for the movie, which is slated for a 2026 release. The producer also plans to integrate up to 85 percent of real space stock footage into the film, further enhancing the sense of realism.

With Kelly's involvement, the project aims to push the boundaries of what's possible in space-themed cinema, blending a compelling human story with the awe-inspiring backdrop of the cosmos. As Iervolino notes, "Having Scott Kelly on board is an extraordinary honor. His experience brings emotional truth and scientific realism to our vision -- reminding us that love and humanity transcend every boundary, even in the silence of space."
