THE HEAVENS CALL / NEBO ZOVET Series: From the Tsars to the Stars: A Journey Through Russian Fantastik Cinema [Aug 11 – 24 2006] Director: Mikhail Karyukov and Aleksandr Kozyr, Country: USSR, Release: 1959, Runtime: 80 This tale of two rival space probes, headed for Mars and the moon, only to crash-land on a nearby asteroid, features spectacular spacescapes, as well as a prescient visualization of the Earth’s orbit cluttered by man-made satellites. Roger Corman helped himself to the film’s plot and footage for the 1963 opus Battle Beyond the Sun, re-edited and reconfigured into a cheesy drive-in movie by an ambitious young director named Thomas Colchert. These days, he goes by the name of Francis Ford Coppola.
