First Image From Cirque Du Freak
Exclusive: John C. Reilly Is A Vampire

First Image From Cirque Du Freak
Cirque Du Freak might be the best movie title we've heard since Monsters Vs. Aliens. Based on the first three novels in a series by Darren O'Shaughnessy, Cirque Du Freak tells of a 14-year-old boy (Chris Kelly) who visits a travelling freak show and is drawn into a world of vampires, werewolves and bearded ladies.

We have the exclusive first image from the film, which shows John C. Reilly as vampiric Larten Crepsley and Kelly as Darren Shah.

Cirque Du Freak is released in February 2009.

IT'S DARREN SHAN NAT DARREN SHAH, Any way every one is judging Jhon for all we know he could be a great lartan but I'm just saying, he could also be very crap but if all of you are gonna judge a book by it's cover thats fine. But you shouldn't be messing with Darren shans name! ... Read More

RE: Dr. Jeckell Mr. Reilly???
I understand where you are comming from, but they wouldn't have hired him if they didn't see Mr. Crepsley in him. I'm sure he will do fine in making you believe he is Mr. Crepsley, but i totaly agree with you with one thing, if John came to me with his usual routines of acting, I wouldn't take him for a cheap horror movie made by home cameras, lol. He must have done above average to get the directors attention though. ... Read More

Dr. Jeckell Mr. Reilly???
A lot of people are saying that john probably wasn't the best choice for the role of Mr. Crepsley. Well if John's acting skills were only good for comedy, they wouldn't have used him. What most people don't know about him, is that he has the kind of personality changing, in his acting ability that Heath Ledger had in his role of The Joker in Batman The Dark Knight. Changing from funny/weird man helping out gilbert grape, singing, and finding a long lost half brother, to dark mysterious figure lu... Read More

I love these books. i dont think John was a good choose. I imagined Crepsley to be taller, really skinny and dark red hair. i just hope this film is as detailed as the books. ... Read More

I'm not really liking John C Reilly as Larten Crepsley. However, if his acting is good then I am prepared to overlook this... He was good in Walk Hard. ... Read More
