This time last year, thanks to a birthday gift gone very very right, I had the pleasure of reading through a very surreal novel called John Dies At The End.

A weird mixture of monsters, drug use, detective work gone wrong, blood, gore and stunning humor, it was an absolutely enjoyable read.  Seriously one of my favorites ever.  And it looks like if things work out and the first official trailer is any indication, next year, John Dies At The End is going to make for an awesome movie.

Directed by Don Coscarelli (Phantasm, Bubba Ho-Tep), and featuring a cast including Paul Giamatti, Clancy Brown and Doug Jones, this looks like it’s going to be an amazing and accurate recreation of the book - I can’t wait to see how the final flick turns out.

Fans of the book - what do you think of the trailer? Those who have no idea what John Dies At The End is, what do YOU think? Sound off in the comments.
