A Literal Body Shop for Zombies in New ‘Dylan Dog’ Clip
The more I see from Kevin Munroe’s Dylan Dog: Dead of Night, his live-action adaptation of the popular Italian comic starring Brandon Routh, Sam Huntington, Anita Briem, Taye Diggs, Kyle Russell Clements, Peter Stormare, and Kurt Angle, the more I want to see the film.
Last week’s clip was clever and fun, while the newest footage, courtesy of MTV, continues the light side of horror by taking us into a “body shop” that carries zombie replacement parts.
In theaters April 29, Routh stars as “Dylan Dog, world famous private investigator specializing in affairs of the undead. His PI business card reads “No Pulse? No Problem.” Armed with an edgy wit and carrying an arsenal of silver and wood-tipped bullets, Dylan must track down a dangerous artifact before a war ensues between his werewolf, vampire and zombie clients living undercover in the monster infested backstreets of New Orleans.”
The official Resident Evil trailer has arrived this morning, bringing a closer look at the nonstop survival horror ride filled with references to Capcom’s classic game series and T-virus gore.
Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil opens in theaters and IMAX September 18 from Sony.
The trailer below introduces Austin Abrams (Weapons) as Bryan, a medical courier who unwittingly finds himself in a non-stop race for survival as one fateful, horrifying night collapses around him in chaos.
Cregger directs from a script he co-wrote with Shay Hatten (John Wick: Chapters 3 & 4).
The trailer keeps its focus on the central human character arriving amidst an outbreak, revealing very little in the way of its mutated threats. The film’s director previously teased not to expect a zombie-heavy film.
Cregger explains, “This movie doesn’t utilize zombies that much. It’s much more focused on the weird creature stuff than the zombies. There’s really only two scenes, maybe three, where there’s proper zombie stuff going on. And two of those three are in the trailer.”
“But other than that… I wouldn’t call this like a zombie movie,” Cregger previews. “I just feel like, you have this opportunity for the T-Virus to do all these really fascinating things to the human body, and to the world around you, and so to just limit it to zombies feels like a squandered opportunity. So I tried to really vary it up.”
According to the film’s listing on the AMC Theatres website, the runtime for Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil is 1 hour, 35 minutes, making it one of the franchise’s shortest movies.
And we are expecting a very intense, fast-paced 95 minutes from the film.
