Another sequel for this summer

[thebitterguy]

Remember the Russian Fantahorror film from a couple years ago, Nightwatch?

Well, apparently the sequel (titled, creatively enough, Daywatch) is coming out this summer.

Neat. I should watch it again, in more than 2.5 minutes.

The original "Nightwatch" was GREAT.

I still have to write a review of it; I'll have an excuse to do that when "Daywatch" comes out on video as well.

Also, check out the novels. They're the first fantasy / SF from Russia I've read since the Brothers Strugatsky.

I've never seen the books available, but I guess I should look them up. I'll keep an eye out for your review, though.

I've been DYING to see that since Nightwatch was release a couple of years back. DYYYYYYING. WE only recently got a release date for it, and there was much partying!

Im worried though, that they are going to screen the "americanised" version, with the dubbed voices and not the original russian with subtitles. :(

[thebitterguy]

I did not know such a thing existed. The subtitles on it were so neat, too.

June 1st is the proposed release date according to Fox Searchlight.

Yah, that's what it says on the video. Should be fun.

I've never gotten around to seeing it, though I did read the novel, which was quite excellent.

It looks very little like what I imagined, which isn't a bad thing at all. I'm going to have to go round up a copy.

Wow! Can't wait! I remember seeing Nightwatch at an arthouse theater. I thought how they did the subtitles was very creative--very comic book-esque.

I bought the DVD for Nightwatch a months ago--but it's still wrapped. I'll get to it one of these days.

The subtitles were actually one of the neater things in the movie. I hope they keep that for the sequel.

I got the DVD a while back, but mine's also still in its original wrapper.
