In Timur Bekmambetov’s science fiction film “Day Watch”, the actors of Russian cinema once again return to the eternal themes of the struggle between good and evil, to the problems of love, friendship, and even paternal duty. Which of the famous artists can be seen in the continuation of "Night Watch" and has the cast changed in principle?
Maria Poroshina in the role of Svetlana
In fact, the cast has not changed much since the publication of the first part of the picture.
Maria Poroshina, who played the cursed maiden Svetlana in The Night Watch, appears in the image of the Great Other in the Day Watch. She enters the Night Watch as a trainee, and Anton Gorodetsky becomes her mentor. And, of course, between a man and a woman, sympathy first arises, and then real feelings. But here's the problem: based on realities, Svetlana should stay away from Anton’s son, because if they meet, the massacre between the Dark and the Light will begin again. Here is such a difficult drama unfolds between the main characters of the picture, based on the novels of
Sergei Lukyanenko.Maria Poroshina is known to the Russian audience for many roles in film and television: she played Phil’s wife in The Brigade, Olga in the TV series Always Say Always, and Julia in the movie Christmas Tree.
Day Watch: actors. Konstantin Khabensky
Konstantin Khabensky is the permanent performer of the role of Anton Gorodetsky in all of Bekmambetov’s Watch. Before participating in the film "Day Watch" actors Maria Poroshina, Gosha Kutsenko and many others basically "wandered" on the series. So it was with Konstantin Khabensky: for many years he played Igor Plakhov in the TV series “Deadly Force”. But participation in the Bekmambetov project has changed a lot in the career of an artist.
After filming the first Watch, Khabensky finally began to receive interesting creative suggestions: he played Chichikov in The Cause of the Dead Souls, the terrorist Green in the historical film State Counselor, and Konstantin Lukashin in The Irony of Fate. Continuation "and even lit up in a Hollywood movie with Angelina Jolie -" Especially Dangerous. " However, one of the best works of Khabensky to this day is considered the role of Admiral Alexander Kolchak in the historical film "Admiral".
After that, many more good roles were played. Today Khabensky is considered one of the highest paid artists of Russian cinema.
G. Tyunin as Olga
Galina Tyunina also took part in the filming of both parts of the Watch. She got the role of Olga - the Great Light. In the first part of the film, she was called out of exile to solve the problem of a black anomalous funnel that appeared over the city. And in the second part, Olga solves the problems directly of Anton Gorodetsky, who is suspected of killing Dark. To gain time and be able to justify Anton, Hesser changes him and Olga with bodies.
Galina Tyunina is primarily a theater actress and rarely spoils her fans with movie roles. Tyunina first appeared on the screens in 1996 in the movie "Giselle Mania". It was a triumph: immediately the main role, the star company, and then many film awards for the embodiment of the image of the ballerina Olga Spesivtseva.
In 2000, Galina appeared in the film “The Diary of His Wife”, in 2002 - in the series “The Diary of a Killer”, and in 2004 unexpectedly agreed to play one of the main roles in the science-fiction film “Night Watch”. I must say, for the actress it turned out that experiment.
V. Menshov in the role of Geser
The role of the Great Light, the head of the Night Watch in Bekmambetov’s picture was played by Vladimir Menshov.
Menshov is a famous figure in both Soviet and Russian cinema. He first appeared on the screen in 1970 - he got the role of a young worker in the film "Happy Kukushkin". During the existence of Soviet cinema, the actor managed to star in such films as “The Tale of How Tsar Peter Arapa Married”, “Highway” and “If the Enemy Doesn’t Surrender”. However, more interesting roles go to Menshov in our time: in the film "Saboteur" he played the cunning Soviet intelligence agent, in "Liquidation" - Marshal Zhukov, in the comedy "Love-carrot" - the old general who exchanged bodies with his son, in "Legend" No. 17 "- the dastardly Eduard Balashov.
Also, do not forget that Vladimir Menshov is the owner of an Oscar for his melodrama Moscow Doesn't Believe in Tears, which he shot as a director, and also that Menshov is the director of the famous comedy Love and Doves and the drama Raffle.
Other role performers
However, this does not end the list of famous artists who starred in the film “Day Watch”. Actors Viktor Verzhbitsky (“Turkish Gambit”), Alexey Chadov (“9 companies”), Valery Zolotukhin (“Land”), Rimma Markova (“Three and a Snowflake”), Gosha Kutsenko (“Antikiller”), Alexey Maklakov (“Two fate ”) and many others are no less popular these days, although the performers got the supporting roles.
