Captives Of The Three Planets

Приключения Алисы. Пленники трёх планет (The Adventures of Alice: Captives of the Three Planets) is a Russian Science Fiction Action Adventure film starring Darya Melnikova and based on the series Alice, Girl from the Future by Kir Bulychev. The film is not directly based on any one book, but rather attempts to provide an Origin Story for Alisa Selezneva and her father Professor Seleznev. A group of adventurers kidnaps Alisa and the Professor to use in an experiment. They escape, and begin their adventures traveling the galaxy.

Filming began in 2008, but the project has been stuck in Development Hell for the last three years, with all work frozen. All that stands is the teaser, which may be seen here

, and a few production stills.

Tropes

Action Girl: Alisa. More so than in previous adaptations.
Alien Abduction
All Planets Are Earthlike
Darker and Edgier
Dawson Casting: Darya Melnikova was 16 when they began filming, well over the age at which Alisa is usually depicted. Natalia Guseva was almost as old in Lilac Sphere, but they did portray that story as taking place some years after Guest from the Future.
Development Hell
Genre Shift: The trailer makes it look more like a horror story, and the production stills show a film geared more for teenagers and young adults than children, who have traditionally been Alisa's audience.
Good-Looking Privates: Britva.
Origin Story
The Professor: Seleznev.
