Day Watch (2007)

Details Limited Release: Jun 01, 2007; Rated: R; Length: 140 Minutes; Genres: Action/Adventure, Horror, Sci-fi and Fantasy; With: Konstantin Khabensky and Maria Poroshina; Distributor: Fox Searchlight Pictures

The second installment of the Russian horror-fantasy series that tracks a modern-day war between immortals follows 2006's Night Watch, which managed Matrix-esque effects on a mere $6 million budget. As we speak, director Timur Bekmambetov is prepping a third film — in English this time — but still sticking with the formula that turned Day Watch into a blockbuster back home. ''Your way is much more expensive.'' he says about Hollywood. ''Whatever money we have we make it work — not the other way around.'' (June 1)
