    Night Watch (Nochnoy Dozor) Trilogy Appreciation Thread

    This thread is for those who like the Night Watch Trilogy, by Russian author Sergei Vasilievich Lukyanenko. It is for both the books and movies, even the games .
    For those who do not know of the terrific fantasy series, it is about Light Others ("good guys") and the Dark Others ("bad guys"), both of which possess supernatural powers, for example: strength, random glimpses of the future, vampirism, werewolf..ism, shape-shifting and magic.
    The series' order is as follows:
    1 Night Watch (Nochnoy Dozor) - book, movie and game (made for under 4 million dollars - how awesome is that
    Novel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Watch_(Russian_novel)
    Film: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Watch_(2004_film)
    Game: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Watch_(video_game)

    2 Day Watch (Dnevoy Dozor) - book, film film: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_Watch
    I believe there is a game of it currently available in Russia, but other fans will have to wait !
    novel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_Watch_(novel)
    3 Twilight Watch (Sumerechniy Dozor) - book, movie in production http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight_Watch
    It has been extended by one book (newly released):
    4 The Last Watch/The Final Watch - novel
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Watch
    I would like to add that the English subtitle are terrible and say they swear when they don't !!!

    The director Timor Bekmambetov has gone onto directing the Hollywood 2008 film Wanted, with Angelina Jolie and Konstantin Khabensky, Night Watch and Day Watch's main character, Anton Gorodestsky.

    Konstantin Khabensky has also recently been in the Russian WW2 film Svoi or Our Own.



    Unfortunately, I have heard rumours of the cancellation of the Twilight Watch movie !

    But, anyway, I thought since there were no other threads this, it would be a good place for people to hang out and discuss the series ..

    PLEASE NOTE: Since many people have not read the books (I, myself, have lost Night Watch and don't want to skip it ), please put at least things occurring after Day Watch in spoilers..... that is, if anyone replies !!!!
