Back in 2010 the “Dylan Dog” comic series was adapted into a feature film, Dylan Dog: Dead of Night, starring Brandon Routh (Superman Returns). It quietly was released and didn’t make any real noise, this a sequel was never put into development.
All of these years later, an alleged series in the works that would once again adapt the cult Italian horror comic from writer Tiziano Sclavi, who also penned the classic Cemetery Man. A teaser for the show’s pilot has just been sent our way, featuring all sorts of grotesque imagery.
Dylan Dog is a “Nightmare Investigator” who deals with paranormal (nightmarish) cases. The new adaptation, “Dylan”, will follow the same approach.
The pilot episode titled “Dream of the Living Dead” was directed by Kevin Kopacka from a script he co-wrote with Alex Bakshaev.
We’ve finished shooting the pilot and are currently in post production. Hopefully we’ll get to release it around March 2017. Expect it to be a mixture of the Dylan comics “L’alba dei morti viventi” and “Morgana” with nods to Italian classic horror movies such as “Dellamorte Dellamore”, “Zombi” and “Burial Ground”. It will be very atmospheric, artistic and (hopefully even) scary but still with comedic elements.
