Bloody Disgusting has the new promo trailer for the upcoming Dylan Dog: Dead of Night, starring the Evil Intersect, Brandon Routh. Routh plays paranormal investigator, Dylan Dog, who never changes his wardrobe from a red shirt, black jacket and blue jeans and who handles cases involving werewolves, vampires, zombies and other monster types. Based on the beloved Italian comic book series, Dylan Dog created in
1986 by Tiziano Sclavi and published by Sergio Bonelli Editore (SBE)
which has sold over 60 million units in over seventeen countries around
the world. Dylan’s adventures have always tipped their hat to
traditional horror elements with numerous “tributes” to the classic
monsters (i.e. Frankenstein, The Werewolf, Dracula and many others),
but they also deal with questioning the human condition: often putting
Dylan in situations that point at the real monster — mankind itself. (via Official Website).
Checking the thing out, I’m getting a sort of “Constantine meets Monster Squad” kind of vibe. Dylan Dog: Dead of Night is directed by Kevin Munroe (TMNT). It also stars Taye Diggs, Peter Stormare, Sam Huntington and Anita Briem and is slated to open later this year.
Thanks to Brian for the tip.

I wasn't sure if this was a joke or not…
Wow, I know Superman Returns was considered a disappointment but I don't think Brandon Routhe deserves to be doing SyFy channel movies. Or maybe he does after seeing his acting in this trailer.
Isn't the same source material as Cemetery Man?
I've never seen a trailer end with "now in post production". Is that their way of saying, "Yeah, we know this looks like shit right now, but we promise to pretty it up if you give us more money?"
Have you seen that movie Constantine? I heard it's really good.
#4 – That's becuase it's not really a trailer, it's a sales reel made to interest distributors.
Slashfilm broke this first, and labeled it correctly. The rest of the sites (like this one) seemingly can't be bothered.
LOLL. I am actually digging this. Of course, I started drinking about an hour ago…
I've been following the development of this one for a while, and I liked what I saw.
"Constantine meets Monster Squad" is fitting (and in my eyes, a good thing) … keeping my fingers crossed this eventually gets a North American release.
