Forget ‘Blade,’ Tim Burton’s Wild Vampire-Hunting Epic Is Officially Leaving HBO Max

Of all the filmmakers who've made creative pivots in their career, few have had as drastic a turn as Timur Bekmambetov. The Kazakh director broke out with a couple of vampire movies in Russia before making his big Hollywood debut with the action-packed comic book adaptation Wanted, which grossed nearly $350 million worldwide. The movie introduced him to the mainstream as a filmmaker with an eye for stylized action. However, Bekmambetov has dedicated the last 15 years of his career to an entirely different kind of filmmaking. During this time, he has become something of an authority on "screenlife" films — movies that unfold entirely on digital screens. Earlier this year, Bekmambetov made his Hollywood directorial comeback with Mercy, starring Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson. However, those interested in revisiting his earlier work might want to head over to HBO Max, where his follow-up to Wanted is streaming till the end of the month.
