DVD News: Night Watch R2 Artwork

DVD Active has learned that 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment plans to release the DVD of Timur Bekmambetov's NIGHT WATCH onto the UK on April 24, 2006. As of yet, no futher details are known, but here is a look at the official DVD artwork for this upcoming Region 2 release. As soon as we hear more, we'll let you know.

Set in contemporary Moscow, NIGHT WATCH (NOCHNOI DOZOR) revolves around the conflict and balance maintained between the forces of light and darkness -- the result of a medieval truce between the opposing sides.

As night falls, the dark forces battle the super-human "Others" of the Night Watch, whose mission is to patrol and protect. But there is constant fear that an ancient prophecy will come true: that a powerful "Other" will rise up, be tempted by one of the sides, and tip the balance plunging the world into a renewed war between the dark and light, the results of which would be catastrophic.

NIGHT WATCH (NOCHNOI DOZOR) is the first installment of a trilogy based on the best-selling sci-fi novels of Sergei Lukyanenko entitled Night Watch, Day Watch and Dusk Watch. The film is the official Russian contender for Best Foreign Language Film for the 2005 Academy Awards.
