And 2007 just gets better and better cinemawise.
This time I have the trailer from the sequel to the excelent Night Watch (Nochnoy Dozor), a russian fantasy-thriller set in present-day Moscow where the respective forces that control daytime and nighttime battle for supremacy.
A plot outline: Among normal humans live the "Others" possessing various supernatural powers. They are divided up into the forces of light and the forces of the dark, who signed a truce several centuries ago to end a devastating battle. Ever since, the forces of light govern the day while the night belongs to their dark opponents. In modern day Moscow the dark Others actually roam the night as vampires while a "Night Watch" of light forces, among them Anton, the movie's protagonist, try to control them and limit their outrage.
Timur Bekmambetov, the visionary director, has been dubbed the new Tarantino.
The huge success of this first film, spawned a triology - the second one being Dnevnoy dozor (Day Watch), and the final one still in production (Dusk Watch).

Day Watch picks up where Nochnoy dozor left off, where Anton (Khabensky) continues to fight the forces of Darkness while simultaneously attempting to find and save his son from the clutches of those same forces. But when vampires belonging to the Dark side start mysteriously being killed, and Anton is framed for their murders, he must put that goal on hold and try to escape the Day Watch that is looking for his blood.
I'm a sucker for good CGI-sequences and over-the-top visuals, so this one goes right to the top of my must-see list of 2007.
