SQUIRRELS ARE JUST rats with a cuter outfit, according to Carrie Bradshaw of Sex and the City fame. Wisdom, unbridled wisdom.

On the coat tales of cult sci-fi nature movies such as Sharknado, Timur Bekmambetov is currently in the process of showcasing a promo for his new animal horror–Squirrels.

The plot of the aptly-named feature focuses on an army of flesh eating squirrels that are seriously not impressed at you ruining their habitat with your pollution and deforestation.

Machete’s Ethan Maniquis is rumoured to be attached to direct the screenplay based on an original idea by Bekmambetov.

No stars have been signed up just yet, we’re sure Tara Reid would be up for it though.

While the idea may take some getting used to, the tagline ‘Hold on to your nuts’ makes up for a lot.

You can watch the pre-production trailer below for a taster of what’s in store.

Probably not one to watch if you live near a national park…
