The film stars John C. Reilly, Ken Watanabe, Chris Massoglia, Josh Hutcherson, Patrick Fugit, Ray Stevenson, Michael Cerveris, Frankie Faison, Jane Krakowski, Orlando Jones, Kristen Schaal and Salma Hayek. Paul Weitz directed from a script he co-wrote with Brian Helgeland. The studio also released a new synopsis for the film, which you can read below.
The Vampire's Assistant tells the frightening tale of a boy who unknowingly breaks a 200-year-old truce between two warring factions of vampires. Pulled into a fantastic life of misunderstood sideshow freaks and grotesque creatures of the night, one teen will vanish from
the safety of a boring existence and fulfill his destiny in a place drawn from nightmares.
14-year-old Darren (Chris Massoglia) was like most kids in his suburban neighborhood. He hung out with his best friend, got decent grades and usually stayed out of trouble. But when he and his buddy stumble upon a traveling freak show, things begin to change inside Darren. That's the exact moment when a vampire named Larten Crepsley (John C. Reilly) turns him into something, well, blood thirsty.

OMG!! i hope they don't f*ck this up.... the vampires assistant is the second book and that's gonna be really gay if they change how Darren becomes the assistant... i have a feeling they will just make the first book the first 20 min of the movie which will make it a huge suck fest

This is the first I'm hearing of this film but it's a decent cast and director so I look forward to it.
