FIRST PHOTO OF SALMA HAYEK IN "CIRQUE DU FREAK" RELEASED

The first photo of award-winning actress, SALMA HAYEK in Paul Weitz' "CIRQUE DU FREAK," as Truska, the bearded lady/vampire, has been released (sans the beard - go figure!): http://tinyurl.com/c37hne

The film adaptation is based on the series of young adult vampire novels of the same name by Darren Shan, Cirque du Freak tells the story of a boy (Chris Massoglia) who breaks a 200-year truce between two warring blood-sucking factions (Think GANGS OF NEW YORK meets THE LOST BOYS) after he and his best friends visit an illegal freak show, where an encounter with a alpha vampire, Larten Crepsley (John C. Reilly), and a deadly spider forces them to make life-changing choices. The cast also includes Willem Dafoe, Ken Watanabe, and Orlando Jones.

Cirque du Freak wrapped filming in New Orleans in June 2008 and will be released later this year by Universal Pictures.

LATIN HORROR will keep you appraised.
