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.
