Last Watch

[pontifex]

Just finished this last night and it was awesome!

The Watch books are some of the best fiction I have ever read. Sergei Lukyanenko has a writing style that keeps me hooked and wanting to keep reading. I always felt like reading them than playing video games or watching movies.

Highly recommended if you like a mixture of modern fantasy (magic, magicians, witches, vampires, supernatural stuff set in a modern world), action, suspense, and mystery.

I really need to read these books. I've pretty much hated all the movies so far, but something tells me that they just aren't translating well to the big screen.

I loved the movies, even though they are way different than the books.

I'm guessing this is the series Nightwatch and Daywatch were based on? I gotta admit, I really liked the movies. I imagine the books are only that much better.

I liked the movies too, hope they'll make more.

there is a 3rd in production or at least planned for production but if i remember correctly it takes place in the US and is being made by FOX i think, so it might be shitty.


gah, just found this:

Originally announced as Dusk Watch via 20th Century Fox, it has been nearly a year since Timur Bekmambetov's Twilight Watch was conceived. The film was to be the final film in the Russian trilogy that began with the infamous Night Watch, only Bekmambetov went off to shoot Wanted for Universal Pictures instead. B-d reporter BC caught up with the director to find out exactly what is going on with the project, the news isn't good... Its a big mess! I dont know what will happen with this project," he reveals to Bloody-Disgusting. "Wanted took its place. Wanted became the American version of Night Watch. So for the moment I am not doing this.
