Gotta hand it to Fox on this one ... the domestic release of Russian fantasy hit The Night Watch may keep getting delayed - they’re still saying February last I heard - but they’re doing some fun stuff to promote it. First there were the tricked out subtitles everyone was talking about and now they’ve made the entire film available over at Dread Central. Thing is it plays very, very fast. Basically you’re watching the film with an eight or ten time speed up factor. Gimmicky as all hell, but pretty cool nonetheless.

    Wow. That was damn cool.

    Doesn’t work for me, but then streaming things almost never do for some reason.

    BTW, I’ve always just assumed that the Fox release is going to be dubbed. Is this actually true?

    When I saw the preview screening over half a year ago, it was not dubbed at all. There subtitles were fucking awesome, far cooler than in “Man on Fire” They cut out some scenes, but I enjoyed the hell out of it.

    Well, that was pretty stupid..

    Kind of pointless, don’t you think?

    what a retarded way to market the movie. i’d much rather see 5 or 10 minutes of the movie in real-time/1x speed without subtitles than the entire movie in 10x speed!!!

    How are the subtitles tricked out?

    They’re not all positioned at the bottom of the screen, they move, and they use different fonts, sizes and animations. I saw it here in the UK quite a while back, and I seem to be the one person in the world who thinks that they look silly.

    It’s weird that in trying to appeal to audiences who hate subtitles, they’ve gone and made it impossible to get into that rhythm where you forget you’re reading them. o_O

    A speeded up version plays at the end of the film with the credits.

    The varied sub-titles didn’t bother me as it made them more interesting, especially in the scenes at the start of the film.
