I really enjoyed Superman Returns, and i thought Brandon Routh was a BRILLIANT Superman… even better than Christopher was. It wasn’t an easy task… he was being asked to be both Superman, and Christopher Reeve at the same time all while adding a touch of his own personality into it as well… and he pulled it off better than anyone could have hoped for.
Anyway, seems Routh is on board for another comic book adaption. This time it’s Dylan Dog. Moviehole gives us this:
Snakes on a Plane” director David R.Ellis has cast Brandon ‘Superman’ Routh in “Dead of Night”, which is – of course – based on a comic book. According to Comic Book Resources, the film – which sees Routh play lead character Dylan Dog will work on a $35 million dollar budget… The film follows a detective, on the hunt for the supernatural, who usually ends up discovering that it’s the ‘humans’ who are the big bad not the triple-horned monsters or razor-nailed ogres.
While I’m happy to see Routh in another project… I’d much rather see him suiting up for Man Of Steel soon… and to be honest this project sounds kinda lame. Having “From the director of Snakes On A Plane” in front doesn’t do much to improve that feeling either.
