The fighter "is especially dangerous" (2008) with Angelina Jolie and James McEevoy became the first director's project of Timur Bekmambetov in Hollywood. This is the story of an unfortunate employee of the office, who will be drawn into the secret society of killers, with time becoming a ruthless killer with a lightning reaction. If the sequel was now released this film, he would have to compete with such a franchise as "John Piq." However, Bekmambetova is not afraid, because he would be ready to offer the audience a completely different spectacle to the audience. In an interview with Deadline, the director said:
Perhaps I would make Sicvel in ScreenLife format. I can not imagine that in the modern world killer-professional ran everywhere with firearms. It will use drones or maybe computer technology. No longer need to skillfully produce bullets. You need to skillfully handle ideas.
Apparently, Bekmambetov is ready to go on the formula of a continuous action and a shootout, which is based on the same "John PEC". If McAw Hero from "especially dangerous" fully goes into the virtual world and the film will not go beyond the computer monitor, it is unlikely to like the original fans. Probably, instead of Bekmambetov counts on the influx of new spectators, seeking to repeat the success of his thriller "Remove from friends" (2015). Shot in ScreenLife format, this film has earned $ 62 million in global rental at $ 1 million budget.
