Brandon Routh, otherwise known as Superman from the epic SUPERMAN RETURNS is apparently battling zombies before doning the red cape and blue tights again next summer. That’s right, Routh is to star in DEAD OF NIGHT, based on the European comic series DYLAN DOG.
Routh is set to play NIGHT’s lead hero Dylan Dog, and had some interesting things to say about the film and his character to the boys over at ComingSoon.net. Here’s a little taste of what went down: It’s about Dylan who’s a nightmare investigator and primarily in this film we’re going to be involved with zombies and werewolves and vampires and some activity that occurs there creating comedy, action, horror and the thrills ensue.
Score! Sign me up! Sounds like a blast, and it’ll be cool to see Routh in something other than tights–let’s see if he can pull off playing something else. Though keeping with the comic book character theme, DEAD OF NIGHT is sounding like a fun ride… anything featuring zombies and werewolves in one flick has to be ok, right?
