We've had a few short teasers for the Russian film Black Lightning which is produced by Timur Bekmambetov and directed by Alexandr Voitinsky, but no major trailer, not until now.

This is the first complete trailer for the film about a student who discovers a flying car and decides to become a superhero, and although it's not in English the effects and action sequences are stunning, especially when you consider the budget is a tiny fraction of the cost it would be in Hollywood – take note western studios.

Timur Bekmambetov produced the film, which possibly tells you something about why the budget is so low and the effects are so grand. The film looks like it could be a lot of fun too, so let's not give all the credit to the producer, there's Alexandr Voitinsky (I think I have the right one) the director who makes it look so slick.

Here's the trailer after the blurb that Twitch have picked up on:

”This is a story of Moscow University's student who becomes the owner of ordinary from the first sight, been-used, but... able to fly "Volga" car. With this car he will be able to not only avoid Moscow traffic jams, but unexpectedly for himself turn to city's defender, mysterious fighter against Evil.”

Now, here's the trailer. If anyone finds an English version let me know and I'll post it.
