The cast for the comic book adaptation Red continues to grow. In the beginning it was lonely Bruce Willis signed on to star, and then two Oscar winners decided to join the fun in the form of Morgan Freeman and Helen Mirren. Now, according to THR, John C. Reilly and Mary-Louise Parker have just signed on to do the film as well.
I know, I know… Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant… another vampire flick. Only instead of Robert Pattinson looking longingly into your eyes, you get John C. Reilly whispering subtle jokes in your ear and possibly taking a dabble of blood is bored. He may seem like an odd lead for a vampire movie, but as he says in the interview below he’s been trying for ages to become the “next teen sensation” so this might finally be the film to push him over the edge! Chances are the wide-eyed, good-guy vampire Chris Massoglia might be taking that spot instead of him, but I’m still rooting for Reilly. That is if anyone can keep their eyes off Salma Hayek who even with a beard is probably once of the hottest women on earth.

It’s time for a film that no one has heard of! Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant, (yes I know, another vampire film) which is kind of like a horror film for kids, starring John C. Reilly, Ken Watanabe, Josh Hutcherson, Chris Massoglia,Willem Dafoe and Salma Hayek, and directed by Paul Weitz.
I have no idea what to say about this movie. I want to hate it and yet I find the trailer amusing (damn you John C. Reilly for being so good in everything).
Check out the trailer, the poster and photos below…
This looks really amazing. It’s got an dark and mysterious vibe mixed in with a modern post-apocalyptic animation. It has voices by Jennifer Connelly, John C. Reilly, Elijah Wood, Crispin Glover, Christopher Plummer, Martin Landau, and more. It has been executive produced by Wanted Director Timur Bekmambetov and produced by Sweeney Todd Director Tim Burton. I guess that’s there that vibe comes from.
It’s about puppets trying to save the world from… Well just watch the trailer below.
Fight back with humor! Nothing like a good musical to prove a point. It’s amazing how many well known faces they got to show up just to sing in the background. Pretty cool!
