Wanted Director May Go On Witch Hunt

Timur Bekmambetov in the frame to direct The Last Witch Hunter

Summit, the production company that has struck gold with the Twilight movies, is set to move from vampires to wiccans. According to Deadline New York, Summit has bought snapped up a script called The Last Witch Hunter, by Cory Goodman, who has also written two other genre movies currently in production – Priest and the remake of The Brood. The article goes on to say that Night Watch/Wanted director Timur Bekmambetov is in talks to produce and possibly direct. The script, which apparently has “franchise potential”, is about one of the last remaining witch hunters, with a mission to keep the population of witches and warlocks in check. Watch out, Harry Potter.
