Following the success of Night Watch Timur Bekmambetov’s Day Watch (2006) continued the story of two mystical cabals stuck in an eternal fight, adapting the remaining portions of Sergei Lukyanenko’s initial novel for the big screen. The setup is the same, but the stakes are higher as the two orders must come face to face in a decisive showdown with one unfortunate protagonist stuck between the two immortal powers. Almost doubling the box-office success of its predecessor, Day Watch played a key role in launching Bekmambetov’s international career (Wanted, Ben-Hur).
