Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant

Chris Massoglia Exclusive Video Interview CIRQUE DU FREAK: THE VAMPIRE’S ASSISTANT

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: October 23rd, 2009 at 11:43 am

Opening today is “Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant”. The movie is directed by Paul Weitz and it’s an adaptation of “The Saga of Darren Shan”, a very popular book series by Darren Shan. Since the movie couldn’t combine all twelve books, they’ve taken the first three and used that as the story. Obviously if the film is successful, they’ll use the rest of the series to make more movies.

Anyway, Universal recently held a press day and I was able to speak with Chris Massoglia. We talked about what the promotional process has been like for him, is he into social networking, working with John C. Reilly, filming in Louisiana, plus he talks about what he has coming up.

CIRQUE DU FREAK – THE VAMPIRE’S ASSISTANT Review

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: October 22nd, 2009 at 11:23 pm

I can’t remember the last time I saw a film as entitled and oblivious as “Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant”.  I can name plenty of films which thought they were going to kick-start a franchise never one that didn’t understand that the first movie has to stand on its own and not rely on movies that don’t (and probably will never) exist.  This entitlement poisons the pacing and retards any character development. In addition, the movie is made worse by director Paul Weitz ignoring the artistic advantages of his setting in favor of flashy, heartless CG effects.  If not for the brilliant John C. Reilly, “Cirque du Freak” would deserve to be burned to the ground by angry townsfolk.

Opening October 23rd is “Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant”. The movie is helmed by Paul Weitz and it’s his adaptation of “The Saga of Darren Shan”, a very popular book series by Darren Shan. Since the movie couldn’t combine all twelve books, they’ve taken the first three and used that as the story. Obviously if the film is successful, they’ll use the rest of the series to make more movies. Anyway, Universal has given us 8 clips from the film and a featurette called “A Look Inside” and they’re after the jump. I’ve also posted the synopsis for those not familiar with the books.
