Release: October 23rd

Cirque Du Freak piqued my interest not really because I'm into vampires, but because Universal is taking a pretty huge risk by putting out some competition for Twilight that doesn't involve Indians with 8 abs showing at all times or two really awkward lead actors.

John C. Reilly hoping into the lead role means that there will at least be one character that I like in this seeing as he's one of the most talented actors working today. Appearing on the side are some other names that bring a little excitement to the table in Ken Watanabe (of The Last Samurai among many many others), and Salma Hayek whose excellence in her current role on 30 Rock landed her character a spot in 6 episodes of season 3. You may also recognize Josh Hutcherson who is trying his best to make a name for himself but ruining it by doing movies like Firehouse Dog. Go get Bridge to Terabithia though and check him out in that. It's a great movie.

My worry with Cirque is that I'm definitely over this vampire craze. I've seen enough vampire love stories in the last year to last me a lifetime and even Park Chan-Wook's Thirst couldn't save me from overheating. However, that Cirque doesn't look specifically like it's being made to capitalize on the plague that is modern vampirism I definitely am expecting something a little strange and different on October 23rd.
