On the set of David R. Ellis' new movie Final Destination 4, ShockTillYouDrop.com had a chance to ask Ellis about Dead of Night, a movie based on the Italian comic book by Tiziano Sclavi Dylan Dog, that he was supposed to direct and now is instead in the hands of Kevin Munroe: "Dylan Dog: Dead of Night ' is something that I was really passionate about doing," Ellis said, speaking freely in his normally laid-back surfer style. "It's a great comic book — I don't know if you guys are aware of it — and I thought it would be an awesome project. I developed it for 8 months with a script. I cast Brandon Routh, but at the time, it was with a company that had financing that fell apart, and then it went through all these things, and finally, it just wasn't going to get made. Then I got offered 'Final Destination' and then Hyde Park, who I had just done 'Asylum' for, picked up 'Dylan Dog' and they got a director and now they're making it with Brandon Routh. Cool project. It could be really good, and I hope it's great for those guys. I wish I could have done it because I spent a lot of time on it. Tawny, my daughter and my producing partner, worked on the script and cast it for 8 months, but that's Hollywood, you know? You don't really have a job until you're getting paid."
