New ‘Dylan Dog’ Images to Make You Cringe
I want to like this movie, I really do, but all signs point to disaster. Kevin Munroe’s Dylan Dog: Dead of Night, his live-action adaptation of the Italian comic, has been on the shopping block for quite some time now. I’ve heard of some local test screenings, yet no buyers. We’ve seen horrible Italian posters and trailers, and now a slew of new images that made me uncomfortably cringe. Take the image below, are we going to see a “Tales from the Crypt” movie? Let’s just hope it’s as fun as Demon Knight and Bordello of Blood…
Brandon Routh stars as Dylan Dog, who is forced back into his nightmare investigations after he is approached by a woman who claims to have seen her father brutally murdered by a mysterious creature. With his street smart, his gun and a set of paranormal weapons, Dylan attempts to restore order both above and below ground.

Curry Barker is a hot commodity in Hollywood in the wake of Obsession‘s $300 million box office success, with original horror-comedy Anything But Ghosts and the next installment in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise already on Barker’s dance card. What else can we expect from Barker in the coming years? For starters, another original horror movie.
The Hollywood Reporter broke the news tonight that Curry Barker will write and direct an untitled horror movie for Blumhouse Atomic Monster and Universal.
THR reports, “In closing what is described as a rich eight-figure deal, Barker will write, produce and direct his third film for Blumhouse Atomic Monster and Universal.”
“All details are being kept secret, but it is described as a Barker original horror idea,” the outlet notes. “The project was bought off of a pitch Barker made to Universal’s top brass.”
“This film is something I’ve been excited to make for a while, and I’m thrilled to be reteaming with Blumhouse Atomic Monster and Universal Film Group for it,” Curry Barker himself said in a statement tonight. “They’ve built the kind of home for bold, original storytelling that every filmmaker dreams of, and I couldn’t imagine better collaborators for this film.”
James Wan and Jason Blum said in a joint statement, “With Obsession, Curry did what only a handful of filmmakers manage in a generation: he made something wholly original that connected with a massive audience, and that connection is what we care about most. The best filmmakers can work anywhere, and we are proud to have a growing slate with Curry. Getting to put this project in front of the fans his work speaks to is the whole reason we do this.”
