Director Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted) is reportedly in talks with Universal Pictures about an English-language remake of the hit Russian sci-fi thriller that he produced and was released last year entitled, Black Lightning. The basic premise for the original film involved a college kid having no luck with the girl of his dreams, until he comes into possession of a flying car that makes him a superhero.

Bekmambetov said that a sequel to the Russian film is also in the works, which would center on a car-crazy student who soups up an old Soviet car and takes on the Russian criminal underworld.
