Russian director Timur Bekmambetov is juggling a growing workload of genre projects, including a possible sequel to his vampire films "Night Watch" and "Day Watch."

As the first big-budget Russian fantasy, 2004's "Night Watch" grossed over $16 million, setting a Russian box office record at that time. It spawned the sequel "Day Watch" in 2006, and talk of a proposed third film that would be called "Twilight Watch."

"I hope it happens," Bekmambetov said in an interview with Empire Online. "Its like first love -- we created this world and now Im watching the 'Twilight' movies, I feel like we missed something by not doing 'Twilight Watch.' Because there are a lot of ideas in those films that we were going to use. But we didnt finish the story. It would be good to get around to it one day. "

Bekmambetov also announced that he would helm an adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smiths "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter," a film he is co-producing with Tim Burton.

"It is not a comedy at all -- it is a very entertaining, epic history lesson for millions and millions of teenagers," he said. "If you remember 'Night Watch,' it is maybe in the vein of that kind of movie.

"We are keeping the traditional look of Lincoln -- the big hat and the beard. He has to be historically correct, but with a few special weapons. There is only one book, but there will be many opportunities to develop and explore this world if we get to do sequels. I hope we will start this winter. We are shooting in America."

In addition, Bekmambetov is eying "Red Asphalt," a 3D horror film for Lionsgate about drunk driving.

"3D is the only way to recreate what you feel when you drink and drive," Bekmambetov explained. "Its my original idea -- I wrote the treatment. Everyone drinks and drives once, and I want to make a horror movie about it.

"Its one big car chase. People will feel what its like when youre drunk and driving, and its really scary. The world is not exactly the same."

Finally, he is also working on "Wanted 2," "The Knights Templar," "Black Lightning" and new adaptions of "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea" and "Moby Dick."

For "Moby Dick" Bekmambetov plans to give the film a genre spin, saying: "Ive developed the whole world, but were still working on the script. To fight a supernatural creature, you need people with supernatural abilities. Its the same story but with a different take, much more mystical."
