   Wow Hollywood way to ruin a great thing. The movies are awesome (not the best representation of the books) but this is too much. In English? Pfff. The Russian actors in these movies are stellar and to change them out for Americans is stupid. grrr.

   yeah I totally agree. I’ve seen both Night Watch and Day Watch and for them to change characters will ruin the movie. There’s nothing I hate more then when they change actors. I’m american and don’t speak russian but since the story takes place in russia it should be filmed in russia by russians with russian actors speaking russian. I don’t mind reading subtitles or listening to the english dubbed version. I mean look at Harry Potter….sure it’s in English but it’s not American and if it was it wouldn’t be the same. Worse case scenario I atleast hope they keep the same actors. And I agree about Hollywood. Hollywood is the root of all evil. In the end nothing good ever comes from there.

   Thats not the worst case senario though. The worst case senario is if they deviate from the book plot because the director decided to take “poetive license” to “cator to the american audience”. I hate it when directors try to change what happens in the book and screw up the story line so bad it isn’t the same story anymore.

   Whenever a good series or an actor shows promise after many years of work in Asia or Europe ,along come the yanks and stuff things up.Lets hope Timur is still directing and remains true to his original style, not a Tom Cruise “Last samurai” type of movie.

   ah but the movies are still being filmed in Russia, and its still the same actors most likely no American can take the place of Anton he is Russian, and they cannot really remove those same chars because it will crash the movies, on top of all the things going down here are they just get exclusive rights to lend their product and have rights to sell it in America, the actors i am sure are bilingual if i remember correct they are the ones who did the voice overs to English the only difference is its not gonna have them with their Russian tongue its still gonna be a good movie and i think that in Russia things wont change so easily…. so if i may conclude my query and stand point, with i believe that the movies will still have their charm and good actors, and that it will still be a very good movie

   If they change the characters there will be hell to pay! not only will the film be shit with different actors but devoted fans like myself will come down on the cunts who changed the actors like a sack of shit!
   Has anyone here seen WANTED, the bloke who plays anton was in that and when me and my mates saw WANTED at the cinema we nearly got kicked out for shouting “ITS ANTON GORODETSKY” No film sustains the same quality after they change an actor, take the mummy 3 tomb of the dragon emperor, different evelyn=wank film

    Dont quoat me on this but I was half watching the extras on my DVD of Day Watch and so I believe the Actors are all the same but so I understand (as it was all in Russian) will be learning english for the film. so we still get that very sexy Russian accents to listen to. but the english land scape is not the same as the russian land scape I really do hope they dont give it the shiny weston look. I love the Russian look all rustic and old elgance.

    I am American and I loved the first two movies, Russian-speaking actors and all. I am concerned that replacing the actors will unduly affect the tone and mood of the new film. One of the most charming things about the movies was the stylized treatment of subtitles, and I have grown attached to the actors in their established roles within the -Watch continuity. Fox can burn for all I care.

    I speak both russian and english, so watching movie in either language is not a problem for me. However, I will not watch Twilight Watch if the movie is done completely in English. A large number of russian sayings and slangs do not translate well to english and the movie will definitely lose the russian feel of it. I looked up some other posts and it is definitely being done in english with both russian and american actors.
    Bekmambetov sold out to Fox and it is sad.

    i hope that they dont cock it up because of the american money and try to pander to the american audience. one of the most enjoyable movie franchises for the last ten years and i hope its not ruined. im a bit dissapointed that the books are missing a story in english but hats of to Sergei Lukyanenko and i hope that the carry one with the forth book. ps the two films are from the book day watch

    To all the nay-sayers on this thread: Where in that tiny little blurb about the movie at the top does it say they will change the actors. The ONLY change that any of us definitely know about is that it will be in English instead of Russian. What makes you think that all of the actors will be different. Take a look at Jet Li and Jackie Chan, they both speak shitty english during interviews, but when you hear them in their movies they sound much better. Who’s to say that during filming, they wont throw out the original audio and rerecord the dialog during post production. Point is, we don’t know what exactly is going to happen yet, so try not to get your panties in a twist and just calm the fuck down.

    Rock on Dave–people, we don’t need to assume or jump to conclusions!
    There is still so much that the public knows nothing about this film, sadly we have to WAIT AND SEE.

    I just hope Timur Bekmambetov sticks with the series and gets the film done soon!!

    As a fan of the movies I am also upset about the changes that have been made if FOX wants to get involved with the production and make thier money off of it that is fine, but why change any thing when ther first two were allready a big succes in Russia all they are doing is risking making a good movie bad

    @Mav: They’ve also deviated for the storyline in Night Watch (and perhaps Day Watch) and it turned out just fine. But I see what you mean, if hollywood does the same it could be catastrophical indeed. I also agree with everyone else here. If they change the actors, the film will be ruined.

    I didn’t like the English dubs so much but the subs were just fine. Every bit of English will ruin the movie, I’m sure of that.
