Colin Farrel in Fright Night
Audiences have finally been treated to some footage from the highly-anticipated FRIGHT NIGHT.
The trailer – which hit the web this week – gives viewers a brief glimpse of what’s in store with this remake of the 80s’ cult classic.
The story follows teenager Charley Brewster (Anton Yelchin), who must enlist the help of celebrity vampire-killer Peter Vincent (David Tennant) when the charming but deadly blood-sucker Jerry (Colin Farrell) moves in next door.
It seems as if director Craig Gillespie has done a good job updating the story, and though Farrel will undoubtedly be the star of the piece, the trailer also hints at a strong turn from Christopher Mintz-Plasse, who plays the role of ‘Evil’ Ed Thompson.
Although remakes are ten-a-penny these days, and mostly not a patch on the original, THN is excited about FRIGHT NIGHT – with a strong cast, great source material, and its tongue (and fangs) wedged firmly in the cheek, this could be the horror hit of the year.
