John C. Reilly negotiating to star in 'Cirque du Freak'

Nov 14, 2007, 06:15 PM | by Nicole Sperling

Categories: Movie Biz

Jcr_l_2 Universal Studios has given the greenlight to an adaptation of Cirque du Freak, British author Darren Shan's hair-raising children's novel that is the first of 12 installments (can you say franchise?), to be directed by Paul Weitz (American Pie) and possibly star John C. Reilly. The Walk Hard actor is in negotiations to play vampire Larten Crepsley, a member of the circus who becomes intertwined in the lives of two young boys. Josh Hutcherson (Bridge to Terabithia) and newcomer Chris J. Kelly are in negotiations to play the two boys. Production is scheduled to begin in Feb. 2008.

Three of Shan's 12 books have already been optioned by Universal, and J.K. Rowling has endorsed the fantastical series. Cirque du Freak marks the second venture into the big-budget children's movie biz for the Weitz Brothers: Paul's sibling Chris will show his mettle next month when New Line bows his $150 million budgeted Golden Compass — another movie with franchise potential.

Jordan Fri, Mar 14, 2008 at 04:59 PM EST

cdf rules i said that i'm stopping arguing with her okay im only talking about cirque du freak from now on, and that how it was at the beginning untill she started talking s*** to me

cdf rules Fri, Mar 14, 2008 at 03:42 PM EST

jordan and australian girl. u 2 are the most annoying people i have ever met. who is the webmaster here? some one get them off this site.

Jessica Thu, Mar 13, 2008 at 05:40 PM EST

i read all 12 Cirque Du Freaks once a couple of years ago and i think Ralph Fiennes should play Mr. Crepsley, i love him! I don't like John C. Reily that much, but since i don't work for hollywood and the people who actually do picked John Reily, obviously hes the best so the ppl who think they should give the part to someone else, get over it hes the best because he was the one picked


and i was reading the above comments, and i think i should say that this silly fight between Jordan, Australia Girl, and Jordanhayer123 is really stupid. You each keep saying that one another is immature, but just FYI, you ALL are immature for fighting each other on a board that is just for CIRQUE DU FREAK!! So you guys just shut up!

Jordan Thu, Mar 13, 2008 at 04:12 PM EST

Just to let you know, im a guy... im NOT illesbian (not that there is anything wrong with homosexuals). And Austrailia Girl, you just like the pick fights with everyone do u! Whoever is "oh just shut up!" obviously made up that name because he wanted u, me, and Jordanhater123 to shut up! He actually has a point and we should listen to it so lets just stop arguing and start talking about Cirque Du Freak okay?

melrox Thu, Mar 13, 2008 at 01:28 AM EST

melrox Wed, Mar 12, 2008 at 02:55 AM EST

dudes stop fighting mr crepsley is not meant to be good looking but yeah i agree that reily does not look right for the part

Jordan Tue, Mar 11, 2008 at 05:36 PM EST

"OH JUST SHUT UP" has a point. Austrailia Girl, Jordanhater123, u have beem calling me immature names and u started fighting with me and u don't respect my decision at all when i say u guys r WRONG about John C. Reily. And frankly i don't care; u 2 can keep trying to piss me off if u want to even though it won't work because im ignoring you from now on and im just talking about Cirque Du Freak.


Wade, that is so kool that ur dad works for Cirque Du Freak and that u get to meet the cast, if i were you, i'd get some autographs... particularly Salma Heyek's, she is HOT! Wade, whats ur dad's name? Is he on the cast list on the Cirque Du Freak's IMDB??

Wade Mon, Mar 10, 2008 at 07:37 PM EST

My dad is working on this movie and i'm going down to meet the cast for spring break. it is filmed all in new orleans LA. im excited! im writing a story about it for my school newspaper

OH JUST SHUT UP! Mon, Mar 10, 2008 at 05:58 PM EST

Australia Girl,Jordan, Jordanhater,JUST SHUT UP! You all are immature for having this fight. Jordan, everyone has their own opinion and u can't convince them other wise.I am personally with u, i have nothing against John Reily and i think he'll make a great mr. crepsley, and i don't agree with all these people saying other wise, but i respect their choice and i don't call them dumbasses like what you're doing.
Australia Girl and Jordanhater,you 2 are immature for insulting him on this web and saying "you can't tell me what to do",i said that when i was in kindergarten. And whoever is Jordanhater,you are VERY immature for using that name,just ignore Jordan when he insults you, but by doing what you're doing u stoop down to his level.So everyone just get along,stop insulting each other, stop being immature and lets get on with conversations about Cirque Du Freak.But if you have to keep insulting each other,do it somewhere else; there happen to be ppl who wanna talk about Cirque Du Freak

XP Mon, Mar 10, 2008 at 05:25 PM EST

O WOW!!!!!!! MOST OF U HAVE NO LIFES!!!!!!!!!! HOW R U GUNA ARGUE ABOUT WHO SHUD PLAY WHO????? I MEAN AS LONG AS THE ACTORS NO HOW 2 ACT ITS ALL GUD.

Australia Girl Sun, Mar 9, 2008 at 07:23 PM EST

that is so funny jorden u said stop calling me immature names and if i recall u called me and some other ppl some immature names now didn't u and u can't tell me 2 stop not talking about john i'm mean what r u goin do come through the computer i'm mean that b a little creepy don't u think? but if u want 2 try b my guest and me and jordanhater123 r not the same person i mean did u ever think that maybe just maybe more then 1 person hates u think about that and get back 2 me kk, luv cirque du freak hate john 4 mr.c bye bye

Jordan Sun, Mar 9, 2008 at 02:26 PM EST

And when u say that you're not "through" with me... whats that supposed to mean? You can't do anything to me! And when you say that i picked fights with you... HAHA! You guys r the ones that started fighting with me because i said that u need to give John C. Reily a break, so stop being so immature! And if u guys find that very hard to do and u need to keep fighting with me, e-mail me at astrosbestfan92@yahoo.com and DON'T do it on this cite because thats not what the cite is for!

Jordan Sun, Mar 9, 2008 at 02:16 PM EST

No actually i said that u DIDN'T piss me off, if you could actually read then you would have known that. And im not fighting u, im giving my opinion on why i think your wrong about John C. Reily which is what this discussion group is about, its not about trashing ppl and making up immature names to piss them off (which, as i said b4, it didn't work)

So, stop being so immature and lets get on talking about what we are supposed to talk about on this cite, which is John C. Reily or anything about Cirque Du Freak, because what we all have in comman is that we are all big fans of the Cirque Du Freak series and thats what we should be talking about!!

Jordan Sat, Mar 8, 2008 at 11:48 PM EST

and when u said "harry potter is the stupidest movie ever" you were just trying to piss me off, and guess what.... it didn't work! And by u doing that makes u even more immature then anything

Jordan Sat, Mar 8, 2008 at 01:50 PM EST

wow, if i didn't know any better, Australia Girl and Jordanhater124 are one in the same, and this is not a "i like to piss off jordan" site, this is a cite to talk about John C. Reily, so stop being so immature and lets start talking about John C. Reily or anything about Cirque du Freak okay!

Australia Girl Sat, Mar 8, 2008 at 11:28 AM EST

i like pissing jorden off its really fun and jordanhater123 is a perfect name i luv it harry potter is the stupidest movie ever again my opinion=]luv cirque du freak

Jordan Thu, Mar 6, 2008 at 05:33 PM EST

Australia Girl, if ur gonna type my name, type it right! Its Jordan not Jorden, get it right! And "JordanHater123" is definetly the most immature person ever for making up a name like that to piss me off. And im NOT immature at all just because you don't agree when i say that u need to give John Reily a break. That does not make me immature at all, u said it urself, everyone has their own opinions and thats mine so u can just stfu!


and just for the record (and its my opinion) Harry Potter is the best movie ever made and the best book ever made, it beats Cirque Du Freak by a landslide in regards to the book and the movies are gonaa beat that cirque du freak movies by a landslide when they come out. (again, its my opinion)

Australia Girl Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 08:52 PM EST

by the way u guys think any1 can play anything newsflash they can't do u think Jim Carry will ever play in a scary movie think bout that kk!!!!! luv cirque du freak

Australia Girl Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 08:50 PM EST

ok jorden ppl can have their own opions 2 what they think the movie will be like and by the way if u think harry potter was not even close 2 being 1 of the best movies and jordanhater123 is more matture than u'll ever be kk and who says we have 2 stop whinning if i want 2 whine i. i luv cirque du freak wii i hate him i hate him i hate him kk

Jordan Tue, Mar 4, 2008 at 06:35 PM EST

Look at Harry Potter, compare it to the book and its horrible. But put it by itself and its one of the best movies ever made

Jordan Tue, Mar 4, 2008 at 06:30 PM EST

OMG! the person who named themself "JordanHater123" is the most immature person ever. And for the ppl who think John C. Reily can't act like Mr. Crepsley, well, for your information, its called ACTING! John C. Reily is an ACTOR which means he can ACT like anybody ppl ask him to ACT like, and obviously if he was picked to be mr. crepsley its because hes the BEST!!! and for the ppl who say that the producers should pick someone else...... THEY ALREADY PICKED HIM SO STOP WHINING!

And the make-up artists CAN use make-up to make John C. Reily look like mr. Crepsley! This is professional movie making for crying out loud, and even if hes a little chubby, so what.... if he does a good job in the movie it doesn't really matter, and the movie doesn't have to resemble to book EXACTLY! The movie should be what the producers want it to look like, not Darren Shan

Tue, Mar 4, 2008 at 06:21 PM EST

Mk, I think yall should just stop bashing the people chosen to play the parts in this movie. Because they work hard and yall there are AUDITIONS to be in a movie, the cast at the moment are the best of the best and I am pretty sure this movie will murder box offices even if you all are against who is playing who. Because you are still all Cirque Du Freak fans and will go anyways to see how it turns out. Complain all you want but most of the cast has been chosen and yall cant change that.

Arabian3'alya Tue, Mar 4, 2008 at 09:45 AM EST

the perfect actor for the role of mr.cripsly is the guy playing Nigel in crossing Jordan

Arabian3'alya Tue, Mar 4, 2008 at 09:38 AM EST

Mr. cripslys death was a huge shock for me

Australia Girl Mon, Mar 3, 2008 at 09:41 PM EST

did any1 else cry when mr.c died?

Australia Girl Mon, Mar 3, 2008 at 05:59 PM EST

Austrails Girl Sun, Mar 2, 2008 at 04:34 PM EST

i soooooooooo agree w/ Emily bill would b perfect 4 mr.c and everything else u said about jorden wuz soooooooooo true bye bye luv cirque du freak

Emilllllyyyyy Sun, Mar 2, 2008 at 04:03 PM EST

I think Bill Righy would be perfect for the role as Mr. Crepsley. He is an amazing actor and already showed he can pull off being a vampire. He's tall, lean, looks serious, an also looks wise which are all the qualities of Mr. Crepsley. I know many would agree iwth me too. If you've read the books and are a seirous fan you picture them how they are a described in the book. Whenever they make movies after books they think its okay to change around the way people look and fans dont care. FANS DO CARE. and Jordan calling people names doesnt make you seem smarter and like you know more it just makes you yourself seem arrogant. I just hope the film makers really did make a good descicon and I hope i wlak out of that movie theater with a different light and respect for Reiley, until then I still think he does not look the role for Mr Crepsley.

Emilllllyyyyy Sun, Mar 2, 2008 at 03:33 PM EST

i agree with you australian girl!! jordan have you not read the books or somehting? like honestly, you seem to care more about the movie and not the books itself. the way they described mr crepsley looks nothing like how john c reiley is, make-up cannot make him look lean and also mr crepsley is a serious person and all the movies john c reiley is in he is a goof. how are people going to take him seriously? maybe you should read the books agian and maybe, JUST MAYBE, youll understand. 8]

Ausralia Girl Sun, Mar 2, 2008 at 11:02 AM EST

r u seris u can't make someone look skinny w/ makeup on!!!!!!!!! kk luv cirque du freak

Jordan Sun, Mar 2, 2008 at 03:12 AM EST

Oh my god, Austrialia Girl are u a dumbass! The producers can do ANYTHING with make up. And the thing i said about Brittni was only a analogy!

Austraila Girl Sat, Mar 1, 2008 at 10:37 PM EST

ok jorden i hate u b/c make up won't do anything did u see brittney on stage she looked horrible the john guy can't play cirque du freak and u can't do anything if someone thought mr.c was hot b/c it's their imagination noy urs i think mr.c is hot too and would u stop being so bossy and cdf the discusion is supposed to be about john look at the link above i can't wait 4 movie and cdf r u a boy? bye and also iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii will b the 1st person in line to c the movie i am also jelous of debbie she gets to kiss a really hot gut and whats w/ the guy playing steve he is not what i imagined him to look like luv cirque du freak bye bye

I acctually pictuerd steve with blonde short hair......but w/e. i think that Evra should be younger but he definently looks the part.i am sooooooooooooo jealous of debbie though. the funny thing is i look a lot like her.i cannot wait to see it!! my boyfriend weston was the one who made me read the first one and i cant say how much i love him for that!!! =]

Arabian3'alya Thu, Feb 21, 2008 at 11:44 AM EST

If I were to give a role to Johnny Dep..I would give him a role of a character that is similar to the characters that made people fall in love with him, which are Jack Sparrow, Willy Wonka, and Sweeny Todd who were twisted, odd, unique, clever, evil at a certain level, and with there funny appearance had irresistible charisma!...Now in my point of view there is only one character in the saga of Darren Shan who can be described with all that..and he is the weird vampaneze Murlough…just imagine it I think Johnney Dep would be perfect for him!

first off, darren shan said cormac is gunna be a girl on the web sight, i think that ruins it, i thought debbie was black but the actor playing her is white, the bearded lady has her part extended, i dnt know hoe. john c Reilly looks like a fat drunk.some strong who can look ugly should play him.the rock would do a better job. reilly is comedy this is no comedy. other than that cast is pretty good.

cdf rules Mon, Feb 11, 2008 at 01:00 PM EST

uh, Lindsay ur an idiot because this is not supposed to be Darren Shans view, this is supposed to be THERE view because they have the movie rights to it, it doesn't have to be EXACTLY like the books because it isn't the books.

I love the series...but if there is gonna b a movie, they can NOT make John C. Reilly as Mr. Crepsley! he looks more like Vancha March. (without the green hair) The goal hear is 2 make the movie either as good, or greater than the books. if u cant do that, then theres no point in ruining it for us.

cdf rules Fri, Feb 8, 2008 at 10:17 AM EST

mr.tall will be played by Ken Watanabe

Mr. Crepsley was by far the coolest character in the books in my opinion and i pictured him to be tall, lean, and wise. Not overweight, and wacky. Also from what i've read they keep saying childrens movie. Cirque du freak isn't effing narnia come on! this is blasphemy to the awesome books, a sad day for cirque du freak fans :(

Jordan Mon, Feb 4, 2008 at 06:01 PM EST

omg! cirque du freak #1, u r the biggest idiot ever! you have no idea how John C. Reily is gonna act in the movie and by u saying the ur not even gonna see the movie unless John C.

i am 1 of the biggest fans of the cirque du freak series but i dont hav any problem with this guy being mr. crepsely
all he needs is some scars and make up.
and in my opinion, jhonny depp should be darren and the guy from bourne ultimatum should be steve, also, the rock should be arrow

OMG! i luuuuuuuuuuuuv the books! Me and my friend Harley both love the books! When the movie comes out we will be first in line and will be wearing shirts that say "I LOVE CIRQUE DU FREAK"!We both have a MAJOR crush on Darren.... shhhh! lol!

I kno this is kinda a random person but i think Johnny Depp should play Mr.Crepsley.

John C. Reily is gonna rock, everyone who says otherwise r idiots because mainly.... THE MOVIE HASN'T COME OUT YET! SO U DONT KNOW HOW HE WILL ACT!

yes i believe Larten should be skinny but when i first saw this i yelled really loud cause he does not fit the picture I saw. Now looking at him i sorta can see Larten in him.
