Black Lightning Movie Trailer

Russian-Kazakh filmmaker Timur Bekmambetov's answer to Batman and Transformers is a superhero movie about a boy and his flying car!
TRAILER IN RUSSIAN

No, sorry, this is not a film about the DC Comics character of the same name, even though this Black Lightning is a superhero movie...

If you were fortunate enough to watch either of Russian-Kazakh director Timur Bekmambetov's stylish vampire movies Day Watch or Night Watch, then you know what the Russians can do with with a modest film budget. Though Bekmambetov has made the move to Hollywood--he directed last year's smash hit Wanted and is currently working on Wanted 2--he is still keeping one foot in the Russian film industry. His latest production, Чёрная молния or Chernaya Molniya, translated as Black Lightning in English, was filmed for only $8M and has been described as the Russian answer to Batman and Transformers. It revolves around a Moscow University student who discovers that his used Volga is a lot more than it seems. Flying over Moscow, the student and his car become...Black Lightning!

Black Lightning is directed by Alexandr Voitinsky and Dmitriy Kiselev.

	and i dont get the new system here either. the back button used to take you to the main page, now it takes you back to where you posted your comment, and either repost it or deletes it. wierd. i have to go to my favorites and go directly to the home page from there after every post. kind of annoying superdog - 10/19/2009, 11:57 AM
	This movie looks a little strange, but has some nice visuals. Not sure how I feel about the premise. I think it's official, Luffy is the new Super Mike. Stumblin - 10/19/2009, 12:04 PM

	Hells Yeah!!!!! shibazz - 10/19/2009, 5:27 PM
	A solo blacklightening movie would be an odd step for dc, but then again they are doing johna hex. maybe if they get a lot of little heroes done they'll have more faith in the big guys, like superman and the flash. thwhtGuardian - 10/19/2009, 5:33 PM
