The first footage from the Italian horror comic book adaptation Dylan Dog: Dead of Night directed by Kevin Monroe (Gatchaman, TMNT) has hit the web. Though the film itself is in English, the footage is part of an Italian news program and we sadly don’t get to hear any of the dialogue. Brandon Routh (Chuck, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World) stars in the film as the “nightmare investigator”. Check it out below!
