BEHIND THE LENS #50: Featuring Timur Bekmambetov

Christmas comes early to BEHIND THE LENS this week as we welcome visionary director and producer Timur Bekmambetov! debbie had the pleasure of interviewing Timur earlier this year while he was in Italy filming BEN-HUR and you heard excerpts of that interview right here on BEHIND THE LENS. But this week, Timur is live from Moscow talking about a new project he is producing and the gifted writer/director he is mentoring with it, not to mention giving us more than a few tidbits on the upcoming BEN-HUR, plus an interesting discussion on how he is inspired by young filmmakers and artisans, and his praise for and insight on working with BEN-HUR producers, Mark Burnett and Roma Downey. Plus, The Force is with us at the top of the show as we hear excerpts of what the creators and stars of STARS WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS had to say last week at the super secret press event in Los Angeles. And hear more from Ericson Core, Luke Bracey and Phil Boston on the making of POINT BREAK. http://behindthelensonline.net http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com
