Kevin Munroe ("TMNT") has official signed on to direct an adaptation of the Italian comic book "Dylan Dog" reports Bloody-Disgusting.

Dylan Dog is a penniless nightmare investigator who defies the whole preceding horror tradition with a vein of surrealism and an anti-bourgeois rhetoric. The true monsters in many of these stories are human beings.

Brandon Routh ("Superman Returns") has officially signed on to headline the Dark Horse Comics title and shooting begins this July in Toronto.

This does mean that Munroe will NOT be directing the "Gatchaman" anime adaptation for the Weinstein Company.
