Brandon Routh will once again be playing a comic book hero, but this time sans spandex. The
Superman Returns star has landed the lead in
Dead of Night, a
Kevin Munroe-directed film based on the Italian comic-book series
Dylan Dog,
says Variety. Routh will play a P.I. who investigates nightmares and quickly finds himself mixed up with the undead.
Routh should have ample preparation for the role -
he will appear this summer in an episode of NBC's
Fear Itself horror anthology. -
