You made your name with the Night Watch and Day Watch movies, you also wrote the scripts, what was the inspiration behind the scripts?
The films are based on the book by famous Russian fantasy writer Sergey Lukyanenko and we adapted the scripts from his novels.
What was it about these novels that you thought would be great for the big screen?
It was a story of mythology the conflict between good and evil but the difference is there is an agreement between good and evil. Many thousands of years ago the two sides sign a contract on how they will live together to kep the balance of the world, because the outcome of either side winning the war would be too bad for the world.
Its a great story because each human being can decide everyday what needs to be done, its very huministic theres no prediction everything is in your hands and you can decide whats good and whats bad.
How surprisd were you by there success as they now have a strong cult following, particuarly the first one?
Yes I was surprised, Iwasnt surprised in Russia I felt that I had made this movie for Russia and I knew my audience and knew that they would like it, but I was surprised that it became an evet outside of Russia.
And finally whats next for you?
Who knows the audience will decide and we will make it for them because we are working for them.
Wanted is release in cinemas 25th June
