Every so often an international film will catch my attention. While surfing I came across a trailer for Guardians, originally titled Zashchitniki), which is a Russion sci-fi film slated for a 2016 released.

Not a whole of known about other than the official translated synopsis.

So a Russian version of Canada's Weapon X?

Looks like this one has been pushed back to 2017 but a new trailer is available. Wait, is that a man-bear? Bear-man?
