Taye Digg has joined Brandon Routh in “Dead Of Night”, the adaptation of the Italian horror comic title “Dylan Dog”. Shock Til You Drop, who broke the story, are reporting that Digg will be playing the leader of a coven of vampires who face off against Routh’s perennially-broke, supernatural-battling detective, Dylan Dog.

“Dylan Dog” was created by Tiziano Sclavi in 1986, about a private investigator based in London who routinely deals with supernatural and horror-oriented cases, and the cast includes the Groucho Marx-inspired sidekick Groucho, his former superior and contact Inspector Bloch of Scotland Yard, and the shadow of his father, Dr. Xabaras. Dark Horse Comics has been publishing the title in English since 1999.

“Dead Of Night”, being directed by Kevin Munroe (2007’s CGI “TMNT”), is tentatively slated for a 2009 release and is currently shooting in New Orleans.
