Alexander Ovechkin's Career to be Documented in Upcoming Biopic
Alexander Ovechkin, the NHL star currently breaking records, is set to have his career documented in an upcoming biopic. The project, a collaboration between Yandex's Plus Studio and Kinopoisk, was announced recently.
The 39-year-old Russian hockey player, who began his professional career in Moscow's Dynamo in 2001, was drafted by the Washington Capitals as the first overall pick in 2004. His incredible journey in the NHL has led him to surpass numerous records, most notably Wayne Gretzky's, on April 6 this year.
On that day, playing for the Washington Capitals, Ovechkin scored his 895th goal, breaking Gretzky's record for the most goals scored in regular NHL seasons. This historic achievement was not part of a film or series, but it has certainly added to the excitement surrounding Ovechkin's life story.
The biopic, which can be exercised in the format of a film or a series, is part of a three-year agreement between Ovechkin and Yandex. The documentary series is currently being filmed in the US under this agreement.
In addition to the biopic, Kinopoisk has secured the rights to show the documentary series in Russia and Belarus. Ovechkin is also expected to participate in commercials and serve as a Yandex ambassador as part of the agreement.
Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated Ovechkin on his historic achievement, adding to the widespread celebration of this remarkable milestone. The record-breaking goal was scored against the New York Islanders, a testament to Ovechkin's unwavering determination and skill.
This biopic promises to be an inspiring and entertaining look into the life and career of one of the greatest hockey players of all time. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting project.
The upcoming biopic, a collaboration between Yandex's Plus Studio and Kinopoisk, will delve into the life and career of Alexander Ovechkin, offering fans an engaging exploration of movies-and-tv related to sports entertainment. This entertainment project, due to its three-year agreement with Ovechkin, will likely encompass both film and series format.
