Titled "Vyzov" ("The Challenge"), the movie will tell the story of a surgeon who has to operate on a sick cosmonaut in space because his medical condition prevents him from returning to earth to be treated.
Peresild and Shipenko, who are well-known in Russia, were selected after the country's space agency, Roscosmos, opened a competition for applicants in November.
Peresild has appeared in a number of Russian films and TV series, while Shipenko's 2020 movie "Serf" was one of Russia's highest-grossing films.

Race to space
The as-yet-untitled movie, which has no release date, is being developed in collaboration with Elon Musk's SpaceX.
The ISS is a multibillion-dollar laboratory that orbits Earth.
It was launched in 1998 and built as a collaboration between the US, Russia and 14 other countries.
Zero-gravity training
Peresild and Shipenko will need to undergo rigorous training before traveling to space to film "The Challenge."
From next month, along with two understudies, they will begin a preparation regime that will include training flights in zero gravity and parachute training.
They will head to the ISS from the Baikonur cosmodrome spaceport in Kazakhstan on the Soyuz MS-19 spacecraft.
The movie, which has no released date yet, is being developed in collaboration with Roscosmos, broadcaster Channel One and studio Yellow, Black and White.
