>> Aug 6, 2009
Universal has debuted the trailer for their upcoming family flick, “Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant”. The film is an adaptation of the first three novels in a series by Darren O'Shaughnessy, "The Saga of Darren Shan", which fantasy-adventure about a teenager who unknowingly breaks a 200-year-old truce between two warring factions of vampires. Pulled into a fantastic life of misunderstood sideshow freaks and grotesque creatures of the night, one teen will vanish from the safety of a boring existence and fulfill his destiny in a place drawn from nightmares. The new movie is directed by Paul Weitz, the man behind "American Pie" from a screenplay that was co-written by Weitz and Brian Helgeland (Mystic River, Man on Fire, The Taking of Pelham 123). It stars John C. Reilly as a vampire leader and Chris Massoglia as his protégé, Darren Shan. Amongst the supporting cast are Patrick Fugit, Salma Hayek, Ken Watanabe and Willem Defoe. Now, just check out the trailer for the film that has scheduled to hit theaters on October 23rd after the jump below.
Plot: 16-year-old Darren (Chris Massoglia) was like most kids in his suburban neighborhood. He hung out with his best friend Steve (Josh Hutcherson), got decent grades and usually stayed out of trouble. But when he and his buddy stumble upon a traveling freak show, things begin to change inside Darren. That’s the exact moment when a vampire named Larten Crepsley (John C. Reilly) turns him into something, well, bloodthirsty.
Newly undead, he joins the Cirque Du Freak, a touring sideshow filled with monstrous creatures from a snakeboy and a wolfman to a bearded lady (Salma Hayek) and a gigantic barker (Ken Watanabe). As Darren flexes his newfound powers in this dark world, he becomes a treasured pawn between the vampires and their deadlier counterparts. And while trying to survive, one boy will struggle to keep their brewing war from devouring what’s left of his humanity.
