Timur (Persian: تیمور Timūr, Chagatai: Temür, Uzbek: Temur; died 18 February 1405), historically known as Tamerlane (Persian: تيمور لنگ Timūr(-e) Lang, "Timur the Lame"), was a Turco-Mongol conqueror and the founder of the Timurid Empire in Persia and Central Asia. He was also the first ruler in the Timurid dynasty.
Born into the Barlas confederation in Transoxiana during the 1320s or 1330s, Timur gained control of the western Chagatai Khanate by 1370. From that base, he led military campaigns across Western, South and Central Asia, Caucasus and southern Russia, and emerged as the most powerful ruler in the Muslim world after defeating the Mamluks of Egypt and Syria, the emerging Ottoman Empire and the declining Delhi Sultanate. From these conquests he founded the Timurid Empire, but this empire fragmented shortly after his death.
Timur is considered the last of the great nomadic conquerors of the Eurasian Steppe, and his empire set the stage for the rise of the more structured and lasting Gunpowder Empires in the 1500s and 1600s.

At the age of 19, he moved to Tashkent, Uzbek SSR to study at the Alexander Ostrovsky Theatrical and Artistic Institute, from which he graduated in 1987 with a degree in theater and cinema set design. It was during this period that Bekmambetov served in the Soviet Army, which inspired him to write Peshavar Waltz.

About two years ago, Ilya Naishuller and his band Biting Elbows hit it big with the music video for “Bad Motherfucker.” Naishuller directed the piece which is shot entirely from the first person perspective, following the main character as he kicks, punches and shoots his way out of an office building overrun with armed thugs. Soon after the “Bad Motherfucker” video made the rounds on the web, Naishuller teamed up with Timur Bekmambetov to turn the idea into a feature. Considering the popularity of “Bad Motherfucker” and the unique shooting style, it’s no wonder that their feature version, Hardcore, picked up a good deal of buzz going into its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. However, the movie didn’t just make due on that hype. It far exceeded it. Not only did H...
