DEAD OF THE NIGHT
The production blog for the film has the first photo from the set of the film. Development executive Dan Forcey wrote there, "This was actually taken on an iPhone at about 3am, at Canal and Rampart (a pretty rough area of New Orleans, especially at 3am). The furniture pad on the hood is to protect the car, as there was a stuntman riding on it a few minutes earlier. The guy in the photo is Mike Massa, a very talented and accomplished stuntman who doubled Brandon back on 'Superman Returns'. He's not in his full costume here (he happened to have the jacket off here), but he's doing his best 'Dylan Stance' anyway."
Release date: 2010.

We will do that. We will do that. We all want to. 'Magneto' is a fantastic script, and hopefully we'll make it. I don't know."
