Russian Vampires On The Prowl In GUARDIANS OF THE NIGHT

Now, I'm not going to pretend to be an expert in Russian copyright law but if I were one of the producers of upcoming action fantasy Guardians Of The Night (Nochnye Strazhi) I might consider having my lawyer on speed dial.

The story of a young courier who stumbles upon a hidden underworld of supernatural creatures and is recruited into the agency responsible for keeping the peace between the supernatural and human worlds, the similarities between this and Timur Bekmambetov's Night Watch are many and obvious. Not least of which is that the Russian title is actually close enough to Bekmambetov's film (and the source novel by Sergei Lukyanenko) that the literal translations to English are exactly the same.

Regardless: Vampires in Russia! Take a look at the trailer below.
