    There are about ten thousand books out there titled Night Watch.
    Oh, Terry Pratchett fan! I am as well, I even translated on of his books into Russian, it was published last autumn in Moscow. Translating Pratchett is a lot of fun.

    And I am one of the owners of one of sites of Russian fans of Pratchett.
    http://pratchett.org, there is a forum there as well, come visit it, if you like.

    this is not a commercial.

    I skipped all the spoilers ;> as the film is going to be in cinemas here this summer and I can't wait to watch it... the books probably haven't been translated to Polish... I wonder if I'm good enough to read them in Russian, but well, maybe it's worth trying... or I can find myself an English translation, but translations suck in general.... ;P
    Anyway, a little question... they're planning to make movies of the other two parts of the trilogy. I *guess* that the Russian name of Day Watch is Дневный Дозор, and I have no idea how's "Dusk Watch" ...

    Dusk Watch=сумеречный дозор
    The bear looked at the car, and reflections of fire danced in his eyes. He knew what to do.

    No, "Сумеречный дозор" is definitely "Twilight Watch". The fact.

    Uh... you mean the official English title of the 3rd book is Twilight Watch, right? I'm sure I've read somewhere it's Dusk Watch, but they must've mistaken it. No that there's any difference in meaning. That's an example why one should never try to translate titles by himself ;>
    Edit: Haha, it took me a full day to realize the connection between "Сумерки" and Polish "Zmierzch" ;> now I get it....

    However Night Watch -> Day Watch -> Twilight Watch makes sense.

    Also, you should have checked that this post has been dead for almost a year.

    No, gloom has nothing to do with titles.

    Only because the actual title is Сумеречный Дозор.

    The books are much better! Actualy I think you can't understand movie without reading the book first because they don't explain many facts and so characters act strange and seemingly without reason, and some very interesting storylines and characters aren't even mentioned.
