IESB has exclusively learned that Sam Huntington has joined the cast of Kevin Munroe's DEAD OF NIGHT that began shooting in New Orleans last week. 

{sidebar id=1}Huntington was most recently seen on the big screen in Kyle Newman's FANBOYS. He starred as Eric the reluctant car salesman slash fanboy at heart. He was also Jimmy Olsen in Bryan Singer's SUPERMAN RETURNS also starring Routh.

The film stars Brandon Routh as Dylan Dog, a reluctant private investigator who is drawn into the world of vampires, werewolves and the undead.

Huntington will star as Marcus, sidekick to Routh's Dylan.

DEAD OF NIGHT is based on the best-selling Italian comic book series, "Dylan Dog," created by Tiziano Sclavi and published by Italy's Sergio Bonelli Editore. The comic book series has sold more than 56 million units worldwide and has been translated into 17 languages since its debut in 1986.

Due to right's issues the original sidekick character from the Italian comic book, Groucho Marx, was not used in the subsequent Dark Horse publications nor will he be used in the feature film adaptation.

The film also reunites RETURNS producer Gil Adler with Routh and Huntington. 

Further casting will be announced shortly as it is currently underway.

Stay tuned to the IESB for more DEAD OF NIGHT news!
