Though, as far as I can tell, production is yet to start on Timur Bekmambetov‘s killer squirrel film, Squirrels, there’s a trailer already.
I’d guess this was used at Cannes, where I know Bekmambetov was looking to raise funds for the film and eventually got in bed with Red Sea Media. Chances are, he directed this promo himself.

Jack Huston had the same reaction most other cinephiles probably did when hearing of a new Ben-Hur movie: “What?!”
There have been a few film adaptations of Lew Wallace’s 1880 biblical novel over the years, most notably the 1959 historical epic starring Charlton Heston that won 11 Academy Awards. But now that Huston is wearing the sword and sandals of Judah Ben-Hur in a new take arriving in theaters Aug. 12, the British-born actor sees firsthand how its sprawling landscape balances a very personal tale of one man’s journey toward redemption.

MGM, Paramount and Timur Bekmambetov set a February 26, 2016, release date on an epic remake of Ben-Hur; have they found their chariot driver in Tom Hiddleston? I hear that he’s the one the studios are courting to play Judah Ben-Hur in the adaptation of the 1880 Lew Wallace novel Ben-Hur: A Tale Of The Christ, which was the biggest-selling novel of its time until it was eclipsed by Gone With The Wind.
