It has been quite awhile since Brandon Routh was announced to play Dylan in Kevin Munroe's Dead of Night, his adaptation of the comic series Dylan Dog that just begun production in New Orleans this month. IESB.net broke the news this evening that Sam Huntington (Fanboys, Superman Returns) will star alongside Routh as Marcus, sidekick to Routh's Dylan. The site also explains that Due to right's issues the original sidekick character from the Italian comic book, Groucho Marx, was not used in the subsequent Dark Horse publications nor will he be used in the feature film adaptation. Read on for more info on the Dylan Dog comic and the movie.
The story has been moved from London, where Sclavi had originally set it, to present-day New York. Dylan Dog is forced back into his nightmare investigations after he is approached by a woman who claims to have seen her father brutally murdered by a mysterious creature. With his street smart, his gun and a set of paranormal weapons, Dylan attempts to restore order both above and below ground.
DEAD OF NIGHT is based on the best-selling Italian comic book series, "Dylan Dog," created by Tiziano Sclavi and published by Italy's Sergio Bonelli Editore. The comic book series has sold more than 56 million units worldwide and has been translated into 17 languages since its debut in 1986.
I'm almost positive it was announced weeks ago that it's been moved from NYC to New Orleans to take advantage of the tax incentives.
I've read the NYC draft of the script, and in that, Marcus had very little screen time.
Hey... Superman Returns actually was really good. Didn't like Lois Lane, I would've preferred someone a little more Margot but oh well.
I'll watch anything with Brandon, he's really good actor. Only reason why I saw Zac and Miri.
