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,

Black Lightning (Chornaya Molniya) - Timur's flying car film

Russian director Timur Bekmambetov, as well as making Night Watch, Day Watch and Wanted has also made a film about a magic car! It's due out in December 2009 and the teaser trailer is below. Very much a teaser, but it does look cool.

The film is directed by Alexander Voytinskiy and Dmitry Kiselev. I assume Timur is producing.

This is being touted as the "Russian response for Transformers and Batman" by Timur himself who is co-producing behind his own company, Bazelevs with Universal Pictures. In the 8 million dollar range, the film seems to be an ode to the every day heros, those that live for others and not themselves. The car is a Volga which has a rich history and connotations in Russian culture, kind of like a Russian Mercedes. It was considered a luxury car for middle to high management and political figures, but it's not the most luxurious car for top leaders.

Black Lightning is the story of a Russian college student who buys a second hand car which turns out to have magical powers, yes it can fly, and it turns him into the superhero who has to protect the city.
