Production
The film is China's first big-budget disaster film, and producer Jennifer Dong expressed hope that it would be a "breakout film" for the genre in China the way The Wandering Earth was for science fiction.[4] The costume for the movie was designed by Vera Chow.[6] The helmet design for Hannah Quinlivan was provided by the Indian fashion studio The V Renaissance.[7]
Two versions of the movie were filmed, one in Chinese and one in English, but a member of the production team said that the acting was more natural in the Chinese version and thought that the English version would not be used.[4]
Release
Though originally scheduled to be released in July 2019,[4] it debuted in China on December 12, 2019, and ranked #1 at the box office on opening day.[8]
Future
Skyfire was intended to be the first film in a trilogy.[4]
