Did you ever read R.L. Stine books when you were a kid? I did, and the trailer for the upcoming movie Cirque de Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant gave me a lot of Goosebumps flashbacks. While the premise is kind of flimsy – a kid who is bored with his life agrees to become an apprentice vampire – it looks like a lot of fun. John C. Reilly plays the vampire who teaches his young pupil how to suck blood properly, and Salma Hayek and 30 Rock’s Jane Kacmarek both appear as members of the titular “Cirque.” The movie comes out, obviously, just in time for Halloween.

We loved John C. Reilly in films like Boogie Nights and Chicago, and now we’re dying to see him in the new Judd Apatow movie Walk Hard. And it turns out that his singing and acting ability isn’t the only reason he’s awesome: he doesn’t have an assistant. Reilly was reportedly embarrassed when he showed up on the Walk Hard set to find that he had a newly-hired assistant waiting. He said, “I’m a very modest person, you know. I hate the term ‘celebrity’ or ‘movie star’. It’s embarrassing. I’m from Chicago, and that’s not what I signed up for. They gave me an assistant on Walk Hard, and I never knew what to do with the guy. I’m used to getting my own coffee.”
John C. Reilly, American Hero. Once again proving our point that if we would actually choose be someone’s assistant, they’re probably too cool to want one.
