Day Watch Trailer 

and wanted is way cool as well, but I am not buying that its the 3rd film. Not sure why or what problems came up with the release of the 3rd but I have waited several years and finally did what I should have long time ago, bought all the books. He is a talented film maker in any case. hope he does more soon. anything.

longer transitions into animals in the books.

Thankfully I saw the first movie AFTER reading the first book, therefore I could understand what was going on. It's waay too symbolic to comprehend without the novel. I loved the books, the movies are... just different, but equally weird :)

Wow! Do they have these books translated into american english? Bcz englands english word connotations are similar but very different in their origins. I wasn't aware until a few years ago that there were even novels about this film series. Excellent films in my opinion!

As for me I think this movie needs a restart. This universe has so much potential. I just read all Nightwatch books and it could be so badass movies. Like Harry Potter but for adults.

Benji James traction? I thought they were the highest grossing Russian movies in history.

The story consists of 3 books - night watch, day watch and twilight watch. But the writers have combined the last 2 books in 1 movie - day watch. The story is finished.

There was a third film planned but the director postponed it because we wanted to direct the 2008 film "wanted" instead. After he finished directing "wanted" he felt that he couldn't continue direct the third film anymore because it would be too similar to "wanted".

@@arrant638nowadays story consists of 6 books: Night Watch, Day Watch, Twilight Watch, Last Watch, New Watch and 6th Watch, both films are 1st and 2nd part of first book

OMG finally! I too was a fan of these films. And yes when they played this trailer in the theatre people were EH???? but not me I went woohoo YES! because I saw the first one and was waiting for this ones release. And being here in LA these films were played in out of the way theatres, BUT I can't complain I was happy they decided to play the original Russian version with the subtitles and not that stupid english dub version. And I became a huge fan of Konstantin Khabensky because of it. These films rocked! Still waiting on the third......I also have these 2 films in DVR, before IFC became the mess of a channel it now is, they played these back to back, the original Russian release like in the theatre. :)

Moondra3 I was digging both these films too. I saw the first one by accident. Back when I had a Blockbuster online acct, I ordered Nightwatch thinking it was this movie I had watched on HBO many years ago staring Rutger Hauer, you know some cheap Sci Fi flick that he seemed to be so prevalent in in the 90's, and was pleasantly surprised by what I got. I was surely not expecting this movie when I popped it in the DVD. So when I saw the trailer on TV for Daywatch (the car drifting on the side of the building scene KILLED IT FOR ME) and it was going to be in the theaters, I knew I had to go see it Day 1. I figured that the trailer alone with the incredible special effects it showed would have been enough to garner at least a respectable crowd in the theater, but I was nearly alone in the movies going to go see it. I figured it was just because I was in Colorado Springs going to go see it and it would have done better in the bigger cities but NOPE! Oh well, it was still one of the highest grossing Russian movies ever so I hope that gets it enough attention to garner interest in at least a final sequel to round out a trilogy. Should maybe call it Duskwatch IDK.

deathskilledreaper Looks like film 3 may be put on hold especially now that the director is committed to doing Ben-Hur with a 2016 release date going to have to wait some more..if it gets done at all! Yup I saw Nightwatch in the theatre it was part of a double feature. I went to see another Russian film called Vedma and Nightwatch played with it. (it had about 20-25 people in theatre.) I was blown away! I got a hold of the books read them, let a friend borrow the books never saw them again :(. And difficult to replace too. I just love these films though, very original. Just nice to see someone else with my enthusiasm rather than running into people that say eh?? with a confused look when I mention these flicks. LOL.

Moondra3 Too bad about not getting a 3rd film for a while if ever. That news sucks! Man I would love to read the books! From What I have gathered the first 2 films are actually the first and second halves of the first book and the third film could be based on any part of the last 2. I think that what really drew me to these films was the unique way that they film and layer the special effects. It gives the films a surreal quality that you don't find in many Hollywood big budget productions. I have to say that even upon rewatching I found the story to have this weird mix of predictability and confusion. The story is pretty straightforward in some ways, such as the good vs evil perspective, but in others such as the motivations of the characters and the sides and grey areas that the characters take and fall into, it can be extremely confusing. I think that the storyline being harder to follow, especially in the second film, may have been what was so off putting to American audiences, even though the special effects were similar to our own big budget summer blockbusters. I still find myself questioning many things in the films to this day like: Are all the vampires on Daywatch's side? What are the ultimate motivations/goal of Gesar and Zavulon, what's the "endgame" so to speak? Is Anton really good? Did his son become a "Great other" and choose the dark still? Even after the big reset at the end of Day Watch? I NEED A THIRD MOVIE!!! These questions are gonna eat at me till I get one.

Dude, the US would never accept any good Russian movie is good only if there won't be shown Russia in a bad light, where all drink vodka and corruption everywhere. Only through such stupid stereotypes can promote Russian film. American rulers like to see some Russian sales Directors dirty unreasonably our country, and for that they get an Oscar from Americans)

wow did you

OsKBLaZe they will make it. Worst way ever. be sure.

me 2

no

There is even more potential in the Nightwatch/Daywatch books.

Haha. And in books nightwatch-mobile isn't some piece of trash but BMW.
