Nochnoi dozor film release in U.S.

[Jeanette Owen]

The NY Times online has an ad the release of "Nochnoi dozor" in the U.S.
The trailer is up on the web at the following address:

http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox_searchlight/night_watch/

The official website has a small set of photos, some bios of the
director and actors, a forum, and so on.

The site says the film will be showing in select cities in the U.S.
starting July 29th, though it does not specify which cities. 

Just to complain a bit, can anyone tell me why the film studio would use
a botched mix of Latin and Cyrillic characters to give the feel of an
authentic Russian title instead of simply using the real title in
Cyrillic? I can't see that what they have would make any more sense to
someone who doesn't read Russian than the real Russian.
