IESB is back from the Big Easy with Zombies on the brain. 

{sidebar id=1}IESB and a few online friends headed down to New Orleans early this week to check out Kevin Munroe's Dylan Dog big screen adaptation DEAD OF NIGHT. 

The film, which will be a presentation of the Omnilab Media Group, is based on the best-selling Italian comic book series, Dylan Dog, created by Tiziano Sclavi and published by Italys 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.

Brandon Routh, (Superman Returns), stars as reluctant paranormal investigator Dylan Dog, who must save the undead hidden among us from their human predators.

Writers Joshua Oppenheimer and Thomas Dean Donnelly (Sahara and Conan The Barbarian) have taken the world of Dylan Dog out of a European setting and given it a New Orleans flavor with its rich bayou and marshland backdrop.

Sam Huntington co-stars as Marcus, Dylans wise-cracking trusted assistant. Taye Diggs co-stars as Vargas, head of the Vampire family and Anita Briem co-stars as Elizabeth, another potential in the long line of Dylan conquests. 

We will be posting our preview piece later tonight but for now here's a picture of Brandon Routh as Dylan Dog in full costume in DEAD OF NIGHT.

Big thanks to our friends down there especially the extremely awesome Gil Adler aka Mega Producer, director and pal Kevin Munroe and the guys at Platinum Studios.
