OK just finished watching this tonight its called nochnoy dozor or night watch if you translate it. One of the best films ive seen in a long time whether russian or american and after the end of the movie im stoked to see the next one or the prequal that fox is making its been so big in russia that there going to to release an american version. Some of the russian is a little hard for me to understand they mess around with it alot. But... with subtitles i was able to catch a lot fo it. Here is the official website its in russian but let me see if i can find an american article on it'

www.dozorfilm.ru

And if you need a copy cause you cant find it just ask... i hate to undermind a great film but it was really hard for me to find and i doubt that itll be sold less than 50.00 on amazon. If can read a little russian it should be easy for you to buy though...

First Russian blockbuster becomes super hit

16:52 2004-07-17
The first Russian blockbuster, Nochnoi Dozor (Night Watch), has been gathering full houses in 325 Russian, Ukrainian and Kazakh cinemas over this week. Its box office takings hit $5.3 million. Even The Matrix and Terminator-3 have never seen such success in Russia.

The first release day made a sensation - the movie collected over 20 million rubles ($700,000). On the second day the sum grew by 10%. About 1.5 million people watched the film during the first week. Formerly Russian films failed to collect $3 million, falling behind the best Hollywood blockbusters. At the moment the Night Watch is surpassed only by "The Lord of the Rings: the Return of the King" in Russia. These events mark a revolution in Russian cinematography.

"As a matter of fact, this film is not about vampires and werewolves in Moscow but about people making mistakes and trying to correct them about the co-existence and balance of good and evil," said Night Watch producer Konstantin Ernst, director general of the First Channel.

Many people were intrigued by the PR campaign of the Night Watch, which is to keep gathering full houses during the following weeks. However, this boom was worked up not only by the PR and special effects, which are new to the Russian cinematography. Sergei Lukyanenko's eponymous novel is highly popular with young people. The trilogy includes the novels "Night Watch", "Day Watch" and "Twilight Watch". Filmmakers promise to release Night Watch-2 by the New Year.

The novel "Night Watch" was published in 1998. The first attempt to screen the book was taken four years ago but the screening was postponed for certain reasons. The First Channel bought the screening rights two years ago and, finally, the movie was released

that means it will be years before the film hits US.

The Chinese action flick "Hero" is being released in theaters now, meanwhile I have seen the movie over 2 years ago. (Chinatown rental.)

What's the best place to find the movie?
