\n\tWarner Bros<\/a>. and DC have unveiled the first teaser from their body horror flick Clayface<\/a>, but it was only for those in the room at CinemaCon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the trailer, we see a highly disfigured character with red eyes lying in a hospital bed. This is clearly a version of our lead character, played by Welsh actor Tom Rhys Harries<\/a>, whom we cut to in various stages of mutilation, pre- and post- some kind of traumatic event.<\/p>\n

\n\tElsewhere, we see the character wearing a mask, seemingly molting, and with a face he can distort like putty.<\/p>\n

\n\tClayface, directed by James Watkins, marks the next big swing for DC Studios<\/a> after Supergirl hits theaters June 26. The pic was originally set to hit theaters in early September but as of now has a release date of October 23.<\/p>\n

\n\tAppearing to introduce Clayface, DC Chief Peter Safran called the character someone who\u2019s \u201cnot famous yet\u201d but will be once the \u201criveting horror thriller\u201d hits theaters just in time for Halloween.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe DC character Clayface was first introduced in the comics in 1940 as an actor who adopted the identity of a character he played in a horror movie when he turned to crime. There have been several incarnations since, all with shapeshifting powers that transform their drippy clay body structures; all have been adversaries of Batman.<\/p>\n
