Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant

Disappointed by this summer's movies? At least we have this fall season to look forward to. Opening on October 23, Paul Weitz's Cirque Du Freak: the Vampire's Assistant is a delightfully dark and kooky film based on the first three books of The Saga of Darren Shan. John C. Reilly plays a vampire, who mentors the young Darren, whom he turns into a half vampire as well. Look for Salma Hayek as a sexy Bearded Lady. Willem Dafoe can be found in his third turn playing a blooduscker, Ken Watanabe as the barker Mr. Tall and Jane Krakowski as Cormac Limbs.
