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!
