Gothamist.com has a new interview with Michael Cerveris, who is Desmond Tiny, and mentions Cirque du Freak:

And what’s next after “Hedda” closes?

At this moment I’m not sure; the one thing I know is this movie called Cirque du Freak, which was shot down in New Orleans. It’s based on a series of kids books, with John C. Reilly and Salma Hayek and Willem Dafoe. It’s directed by Paul Weitz. It’s a kind of Harry Potter with vampires. There’s a traveling freak show with a bunch of vampires, and a couple of high school kids get mixed up in the whole thing. I play Mr. Tiny who’s the 400 pound evil mastermind of the whole thing, the bad guy that even the bad guys are afraid of. So that meant hours of prosthetic makeup and a fatsuit and living in New Orleans for four months which was just a fantastic experience.

That sounds awesome!

I haven’t seen it yet, but it has all the elements to be a great, great thing.
