A source at Fox Searchlight gave Fango the news that the Russian horror/fantasy NIGHT WATCH has been given a new U.S. release date of February 17, 2006. Originally slated to open last summer, NIGHT WATCH is the first of a trilogy of features based on novels by Sergei Lukyanenko about the Night Watch and Day Watch, opposing forces who do supernatural battle on the streets (and rooftops, and elsewhere) of Moscow. It was directed by Timur Bekmambetov, who encores on the sequel, naturally titled DAY WATCH, which opens soon in Russia. You can see NIGHT WATCH’s official site here and read about the movie in Fango #245.
