@ 1
It's based on a teen series of novels... Never read the books myself, but hooray for John C. Reilly! I hope this movie doesn't suck as bad as the picture leads me to believe.

John C. Rielly is the kind of looser that gets killed by a vampire

I have read two of the books and they are really a lot of fun. I hope they do a good job with this first one. It's a scary story of what happens to a boy who wishes too hard to become a Vampire but his best friend gets caught instead and is forced into an eternal life as a slave vampire to the traveling cirque. Excellent story and a great series. I want to eventually read them all.

Forgive me, but did you say John C. Reilly as a vampire?? John C. Reilly? I thought vampires were supposed to be alluring, attractive,seductive. John C. Reilly? Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha. That whirring sound you hear is Lugosi spinning in his grave.

Unlike Twilight, in this book, the vampires aren't super sexy. I mean the vampanese (most of them) are purple. I love the series, they're even better than Twilight XD I hope the movie does the book justice.

Yeah i read all the books, there great. The picture makes it look like the movie isnt going to be so good, hopefully they prove me wrong.
19. magdali - July 27, 2009 2:54 PM
i thiink that the books are awesome! but john c. reily as mr.crepsley?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??? that character does not fit him at all!!!! and the picture makes it look like the movie will suck.(( i really really hope it doesnt)) it would suck if it turned out like twilight. "the books r cool, but the movie sucks"

I have also read the series entirely, and it is about damn time someone made a movie about this! John C Riely though doesnt fit in a semi-serious role like this. I keep seeing him in his funny roles like in Walk Hard, though there are some silly parts in the series. Please dont screw this up whoever is making it. There is also a manga verson out in my state so it is much easier to read and visualize.

I love the book series im currently reading the demonata series by Darren shan i cant really see Jhon c. Reily as mr. crepsley. like in well i cant rember the book but when mr crepsley is hanging on to woodwn tower and is about to fall into the pit of stakes. i don't think he could play that part. but i hope the movie is good and im glad to see that there are more ppl out there that love cirque du freak as much as i do!!!!!!!!!!
