Director Kevin Munroe (
TMNT) showed off footage from his live-action feature debut
Dead of Night during a panel this morning at Comic-Con. In attendance to witness the clip and behind-the-scenes reel: Stars Brandon Routh (playing the role of Dylan Dog, paranormal investigator), Sam Huntington and Anita Briem. Also on hand for attendees? A first look at the teaser poster (seen below).
The footage itself looked solid, beginning with a shot of Dylan Dog - a character made famous in the popular Italian comic books of the same name - dozing off in his chair clutching a flute (a nice nod to the books). The montage that followed introduced co-stars Peter Stormare (hissing to Dylan:
) and Kurt Angle, knocking Dylan onto a slab in a meat locker. All sorts of beasties were on display. There's Taye Diggs at the vampire (a bit Buffy-esque, but with distinguished, long fangs). Tons of zombies - including a particularly funny moment that finds Hungtington waking up in a morgue and discovering what his "condition" is. And a black demon, which is said to be the main baddie in the third act. Attendees also got to see an extended scene in which Dylan is doing battle with a "super zombie," a hulking, tattooed creature.
Pretty good teaser for what appears to be a fun monster romp.

Awesome. I hope this movie does well. I also hope he gets to play Superman again.

Really looking forward to this. Really like Brandon Routh, thought he was great as Superman. Looking at the poster the font and letter positioning in the title reminds me of the original Day of the Dead.

That is fantastic! Absolutely dying to see this movie. I've been a Dylan Dog fan ever since Dark Horse reprinted some of the comics in the late 90s. Here's hoping Routh does justice to the role (and he should - he was great as Superman).
For those interested, check out Michele Soavi's film Cemetery Man. It's written by Dog's creator, Tiziano Sclavi, and was essentially a rough draft of Dylan Dog. It even starred Rupert Everett, who was the inspiration for Dog's look.
