The new issue of Empire Magazine has a few new photos from upcoming fall/winter films. First up is a photo of John C. Reilly as a vampire in Paul Weitz’s Cirque Du Freak. Based on the first three novels by Darren O’Shaughnessy, Cirque Du Freak tells the story of a 14-year-old boy named Darren Shan (Chris Kelly) who visits a travelling freak show. At the show he meets a mysterious man who turns out to be a vampire, and Darren must leave his normal life and go on the road with the show. Cirque Du Freak currently doesn’t have a U.S. release date, but it is hitting theaters in February 2009 in international territories, so expect it around then. I’m really digging Reilly’s look as a vamp. Click on the image to see the whole thing in full resolution on EmpireOnline.com.
Next up is the first official photo of Anthony Hopkins, Emily Blunt, and a non-wolfie Benicio Del Toro in Joe Johnston’s period adaptation of The Wolfman, which hits theaters on April 3rd 2009.
Next is the first official production photo of Matt Damon in Paul Greengrass’ Green Zone. Basically, its the same thing we saw from the set photos a few months back. Based on Rajiv Chandrasekaran book (Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Iraq’s Green Zone), Paul Greengrass’ Green Zone stars Matt Damon as a CIA officer on the hunt for traces of WMDs. Green Zone is scheduled to hit theaters in 2009.

I’m just glad to see John C. Reily away from comedies. I prefer him much more in serious roles

The Wolfman looks great in photos. I’m very confident Johnston will deliver.

Wow, Cirque du Freak…
I was obsessed with that book when i was like 9…
I had no idea they were making a movie…
and John C. Reilly? Sounds cool…

of the three, I’m most intrigued by Damon and Greengrass’ project.
Wolfman? Sure I’m all for Del Toro etc, but the Wolfman is just one of those characters that I’m growing tired of.
Sorry, Reilly as a tranny vampire isn’t working for me.

Matt Damon wearing a US Army uniform in a movie about a CIA agent looking for bombs?
Sounds like a real cinematic achievement..
