The Vampire’s Assistant

Based on the popular series of books by Darren Shan, Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant - a 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. 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). more

Release date will be on 23 October 2009. Starred by John C. Reilly, Josh Hutcherson, Chris Massoglia, Ray Stevenson, William Dafoe. Written by Brian Helgeland and from the Direction of Paul Weitz.
