A sales trailer has gone online for producer Timur Bekmambetov’s nuttiest endeavor to date: Squirrels. Written by people named Daniel Antoniazzi and Ben Shiffrin, the Red Sea Media film centers on a small town overrun by man-eating squirrels.

Peep it:

The synopsis reads:

When a young man’s estranged father is killed under suspicious circumstances, he returns home for the first time in years to get to the bottom of the mystery.

He instead finds his mom’s sleazy new boyfriend, a natural gas company buying up the town, an angry female sheriff who happens to be his ex-girlfriend and an army of flesh-eating squirrels hellbent on destroying everything in their path due to an erosion of their food chain as a result of environmental destruction by the gas company.

Bekmambetov produced the sci-fi thriller Darkest Hour, the animated feature 9 and last year’s Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, which he also helmed. Additional directing creds include Wanted, starring Angelina Jolie, and the supernatural thriller Night Watch and its sequel Day Watch.

According to BleedingCool, Machete helmer Ethan Maniquis is attached to direct.
