Routh is Dylan Dog? | Movie News
Brandon Routh must be wiped out from all the excessive lifting in SUPERMAN RETURNS -- he's been pretty low-profile since stripping off the tight blue suit. And while it remains to be seen if the big red 'S' will become a franchise character for Routh, he's apparently found another with such potential.
According to the usually reliable Lying in the Gutters, Routh will ditch the spit-curl to star as DYLAN DOG, the title character of a long-running Italian comic. The stories revolve around the charismatic but neurotic London-based "nightmare investigator" who looks into all things supernatural.
Director David R. Ellis (FINAL DESTINATION 2, SNAKES ON A PLANE) will helm the project, which has a reported budget of $35 million and seems to be going by the title DEAD OF NIGHT. Routh will get a taste of weird before that -- he's appearing (along with Mickey Rourke and... Ashley Olsen?) in the adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis' novel THE INFORMERS.Source: Lying in the Gutters
Extra Tidbit: Dylan Dog's appearance is supposedly based on actor Rupert Everett, who starred in the zombie gem DELLAMORTE DELLAMORE (aka CEMETERY MAN), based on the novel by DOG creator Tiziano Sclavi.

It is a short-story collection, though, so they'll have to cherry pick the best stuff.
