Fright Night remake drains city of sin
No, we’re not talking about the comic, but we are talking about Las Vegas. That’s right, the Fright Night remake is said to be set in Vegas, says Arrow in the Head, which makes things all the more head-scratching for the Craig Gillespie film. The remake of the popular 1985 film stars Colin Farrell as our hopefully seductive vampire Jerry Dandrige along with Toni Collette and Anton Yelchin.
The Fright Night remake centers on Jerry Dandrige (Farrell), a charming and scheming blood sucker who moves in next door to horror fanatic Charley Brewster (Yelchin). While Charley tries to warn those around him that Jerry’s really a threat, no one believes him. And then the vampire starts to put the moves on Charley’s mother (Collette).
The script, penned by Marti Noxon, is being produced by Michael De Luca and Michael J. Gaeta. No word on when filming will begin, but the DreamWorks picture is poised for a 2011 release.
Does the Fright Night remake look appealing to any of you?
It’s got a pretty good cast. I’m in for now.
No I can’t say it looks appealing. I know that remakes have always been done, but it has been WAY WAY over done in recent years.
