Black Lightning - Amazing concept art for Timur Bekmambetov's flying car film

Quiet Earth did it again by coming up with this gorgeous concept art for Black Lightning. I posted the teaser trailer a few days ago and now this art just makes me want to see more and more of it.
A usual student of Moscow VUZ (Institute of Higher Education) who is randomly becomes the possessor of a used domestic vehicle, which, as it is explained, can fly! Our main hero is converted from a simple person, into the super-hero, the defender of city, mysterious fighter against evil.
Apparently Timur, who is co-producing this, said that it is the "Russian response [to] Transformers and Batman," which means it's more about superheroes and robots than it is the science of a flying car. For those interested, the car is a Volga, which has a rich history in Russian culture, and is kind of like a Russian Mercedes. Alexander Voytinskiy, who is a friend of Timur's, will be making his directorial debut,
