Red Sea bites on Squirrels

Daniel Antoniazzi and Ben Shiffrin wrote the screenplay from an original idea by Bazelevs chief Timur Bekmambetov [pictured].

Squirrels tells of an infestation of flesh-eating vermin caused by a shift in the food chain due to the activities of a natural gas company in a troubled town.  

The project is out to a director and cast. Lisa Ellzey and Michele Wolkoff are the executive producers. 

“I am very appreciative of the opportunity to sell a Timur Bekmambetov-produced film this year,” said Kopelevich. 

“Timur is a tremendous creative talent and it’s going to be a lot of fun for everyone involved, especially for the buyers, to be a part of this exciting project. Squirrels, like people, can seem very cute – until they get hungry.”
