We love Brandon Routh. Bryan Singer loves Brandon Routh. Casting agents of Hollywood do not seem to love Brandon Routh. Until now! Someone has thrown the Superman Returns actor a bone, giving him his first lead role since being really good as Superman in the unfairly maligned movie.
Routh will play the lead in Dead of Night, a movie based on the horror comic book series Dylan Dog. In the London set series – we'd imagine this will change to the US – Dylan is a down on his luck investigator of the supernatural. Interesting fact: Dog was originally drawn to look like Rupert Everett.
The movie is to be directed by David R. Ellis (Final Destination) with a budget of $35million. Production is set to start soon in Connecticut.
