Six New FRIGHT NIGHT Stills Feature Colin Farrell & Anton Yelchin

Man am I jazzed over this remake and, truthfully, I wasn’t at first. But now that DreamWorks has sent us these six new images from director Craig Gillespie’s film, I’m truly stoked!  Just like the great 1985 film FRIGHT NIGHT, written & directed by Tom Holland, this new version once again centers around Charlie Brewster (Anton Yelchin). He’s a high school senior who’s on top of the world—that is until Jerry (Colin Farrell) moves in next door and Charlie discovers that he is a vampire preying on the neighborhood.

I’m really excited to see a first trailer for the film – Farrell looks so deliciously evil. Plus I can’t wait to see David Tennant’s appearance as Peter Vincent – Vampire Killer, who is taking over for the late Roddy McDowall. Hopefully the line from the original, “Stop…you creature of the night,” makes it into the first teaser.

Synopsis:

Senior Charlie Brewster (Anton Yelchin) finally has it all—he’s running with the popular crowd and dating the hottest girl in high school. In fact, he’s so cool he’s even dissing his best friend Ed (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). But trouble arrives when an intriguing stranger Jerry (Colin Farrell) moves in next door. He seems like a great guy at first, but there’s something not quite right—and everyone, including Charlie’s mom (Toni Collette), doesn’t notice. After witnessing some very unusual activity, Charlie comes to an unmistakable conclusion: Jerry is a vampire preying on his neighborhood. Unable to convince anyone that he’s telling the truth, Charlie has to find a way to get rid of the monster himself in this Craig Gillespie-helmed revamp of the comedy-horror classic.

The film stars Anton Yelchin as Charley Brewster, Colin Farrell as Jerry, Toni Collette as Jane Brewster, Imogen Poots as Amy, Christopher Mintz-Plasse as Evil Ed, and David Tennant as Peter Vincent.

With the screenplay by Marti Noxon (TV’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, I AM NUMBER FOUR), DreamWorks FRIGHT NIGHT hits theaters August 19th, 2011.
