Dead of Night, the supernatural thriller based on the best-selling horror comic-book series, Dylan Dog has completed principal photography, Hyde Park Entertainment Group and Platinum Studios announced yesterday.

The Kevin Munroe directed picture stars Brandon Routh (Superman Returns) as reluctant paranormal investigator Dylan Dog, who finds himself caught in the middle of a war between the demonic undead. Sam Huntington co-stars as Routh’s wise-cracking sidekick Marcus. On the subject of Routh as the iconic Dylan Dog, director Kevin Munroe was all praise:

“Dylan Dog is a character that brilliantly mixes charisma, affability, and hard-driven principles. I couldn’t be happier with Brandon’s portrayal – he meshed all of those aspects into a charming action hero, funny as he was ass-kicking. I can’t wait to share his work with the world.”

The film also stars Anita Briem (Journey to the Center of the Earth) as Elizabeth, Taye Diggs as Vargas – leader of the vampires, and Peter Stormare (Constantine) as Wolfgang – leader of the werewolves.

While a release date has yet to be confirmed, Dead of Night is largely expected for released in the UK in Spring 2010.
