Privet, dorogie druzya!
That's Russian for "Hello, friends" -- now if only you could pronounce it, right?
DAY WATCH (“Dnevnoy Dozor”) opens in select theaters today! New York Magazine calls the sequel to NIGHT WATCH (“Nochnoy Dozor,” 2006) “a dazzling mix of state-of-the-art visual effects, amazing action sequences and nail-biting horror.” MTV News exclaims, "'Day Watch' is popcorn for your eyes. After watching these movies, you'll never look at the world the same way again." And ComingSoon.Net says it offers "jawdropping action scenes that have to be seen to be believed."
The film opens today in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Next week it will expand to nine more cities, including Boston, D.C., Philadelphia, and Toronto.
My own personal recommendation is that you see it for the modern-day witch driving her red sports car up the side of a building. Because, face it, that's not something most of us see every day.
On the DAY WATCH Web page (which you can access by clicking on the movie title about) we've added video of Searchlight's own Russian-born employee Natalya. In one video she gives a recap of NIGHT WATCH. But the second is my personal favorite: she gives us Russian language lessons, which include, as we watch the clip of said witch driving said car up the side of said building, "Breaking the law of gravity is fun."
And don't miss any of the three "eye-opening" DAY WATCH videos director Timur Bekbambetov made, or the 2.5 minute video synopsis of NIGHT WATCH (which will make most sense to people who've already seen NIGHT WATCH but need a plot refresher course).
That's it for now -- vsem xoroshix vixodnix!
P.S. That's "Have a great weekend, everyone!" in Russian. Call me and I'll say it for you. (Not)
I can't believe this has come and gone so fast that I never even noticed it. Believe it or not, I found out about day watch in a bookstore, because the book is at borders, but the film was like nowhere. Now I have to see it on DVD, but that sucks compared to the big screeen.
