Villain, Leading Lady Cast in 'Dead of Night'

With filming getting set to resume on "Dead of Night," ShockTillYouDrop.com has learned the names of two more actors who will be joining the film's cast.

As previously announced, the movie will star Brandon Routh as Dylan Dog, a detective drawn into the world of the supernatural.

Directed by Kevin Munroe, the film began shooting in New Orleans in late February before taking a planned hiatus.

During the break from shooting (which is scheduled to resume in April), it was announced that Dylan’s sidekick, Marcus, would be played by Sam Huntington.

Routh and Huntington previously worked together on "Superman Returns" (as Superman and Jimmy Olsen, respectively).

Few other cast members had been announced for "Dead of Night," but today, ShockTillYouDrop.com reported a couple of major roles have been filled.

Taye Diggs reportedly will play Dylan Dog's nemesis, the leader of the vampires. Diggs currently stars in the TV show "Private Practice," but has starred in many movies and TV shows.

A few hours later, ShockTillYouDrop.com wrote that actress Anita Briem will play Dylan Dog's love interest. Briem recently starred alongside Brendan Fraser in "Journey to the Center of the Earth."

"Dead of Night" is based on Tiziano Sclavi’s popular Italian comic book "Dylan Dog."

In an interview with About.com at the "Watchmen" premiere, Routh described the movie as follows: "There's a lot of humor, action, horror, thriller ... It's like no film you've ever seen before, I'll be that bold as to say. And we've got the effects guys who just won the Academy Award for "Benjamin Button," Drac Studios, working on the picture. Gilbert Adler, who produced Superman Returns. is producing the film, so we've got a good team."
