Night Watch director Timur Bekmambetov has grabbed the attention of Hollywood.
He’s signed his first deal to direct Wanted, based on the comic book by Mark Millar.
Wanted follows an ordinary bloke who discovers his father is the world’s premier super villain. After his dad is killed, the son is recruited to follow in his world-threatening footsteps. Derek Haas and Michael Brandt – who last penned 2 Fast 2 Furious – have written the script.
