Watch the “Dylan” Dog Pilot Episode!
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, a 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, featuring all sorts of grotesque imagery, was shared back in March. Now, the pilot episode has been made available online!
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.

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
