Newsmakers (Russian Title:Goryachie Novosti/Горячие новости) is a 2009 Russian remake of the 2004 Hong Kong film Breaking News. Directed by Anders Banke, the film is about a group of criminals who are holed up in a Moscow apartment building after a shootout with the police, and the efforts of law enforcement to turn the situation to their advantage after they were humiliated on television by the criminals.
A suppressed Beretta 92FS is used by Valery (Artom Semankin), one of a pair of assassins who are trapped in the apartment building that the criminals hide in.
A Beretta 92FS Inox is used by Kley (Maxim Konvalov), one of the criminals, to shoot a traffic police officer and later when the criminals take over the apartment of Yura (Grigory Baranov) and hold his family hostage.
The Makarov PM is the standard sidearm for all Moscow Militsiya officers, including detective Smirnov (Andrey Merzlikin) and his team. Makarov PMs are also used by some MVD soldiers when they raid the apartment building, and is briefly used by detective Katya Verbitskaya (Maria Mashkova) when she searches for Herman (Yevgeni Tsyganov), the criminal ringleader.
A Stechkin APS is used by the Killer (Sergei Garmash), an assassin who along with his partner Valery, become trapped with the criminal gang in the apartment building. The Killer uses the Stechkin to shoot at Smirnov as he and Herman attempt to escape from the building.
Orda (Aleksei Frandetti) uses a pistol to shoot at the police officers during the opening gunfight, and when Smirnov's team surprises him outside of the criminal gang's hideout.
A 12 gauge sawed off shotgun, likely a Russian-made Baikal, is seized from a crackhead by Smirnov and used by him as he attempts to track down Herman and the killer.
Kedr PP-91 submachine guns with 30 round magazines are used by police officers throughout the movie, first by SWAT officers during the opening shootout, and later by MVD spetznaz soldiers at the apartment building. The criminals also utilize a captured PP-91 during their attempt to escape the police cordon.
The criminals and police both make frequent use of the AKS-74 rifle, most prominently during the opening shootout. Orda uses an AKS-74 fed from a PKM belt box. Such a combination does not exist in real life as the two weapons systems are incompatible calibers and feed systems.
As MVD and OMON units surround the apartment building, a spetznaz soldier can be seen aiming an AK-103 rifle, distinguished by its curved 7.62x39mm magazine, AK-74-style muzzle brake and black plastic furniture.
