You can see a new form of Jerry's vampire in there too at the 1:10 mark.

YIKES! David Tennant looks like a real bad-ass in this! And I loved him on Doctor Who to begin with!

Looking good. No house, no need for an invitation.

Nice! Actually wanna see it now. I love the original though, so I hope I'm not hugely let down.

 

[kickass]

Still don't like it.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

sort of had my doubts, but that new trailer with actual footage of Peter Vincent has me sold! David Tennant looks great

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Colin Farell really was the perfect choice for the role, IMO.

 

[kedrell]

At least there will be SOMETHING to see in August.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Agreed. Well, this and Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark.

^^ Wow, that's awesome!

 

[Punisher Rising]

Looks like a fun movie, I'm definitely seeing this in the theaters.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ In 3D, lol. This really looks like a very fun remake/twist on the original. That's what it should be.

was it attached to Priest?

yes it was

I think it looks great!
'Fright Night' is one of the few horror films that I think actually needs a remake (It's a good movie, but hasn't aged well), and what I've seen so far definitely looks promising. The cast looks good, too. One of the problems i had with the first one was how loud, over- the- top, and obnoxious Evil Ed was, so the fact that the remake has him played by Christopher Mintz- Plasse (Who is usually funny in a more quiet, subtle way) definitely seems refreshing, and David Tennant looks like he'll be an excellent reqorking of the Peter Vincent character.
I can't wait!

I watched the original a last week and all the way through it i kept saying to myself that Roddy McDowall looked like an older David Tennant. Has anyone else thought this??

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Yeah, somewhat!

 

[The Englishman]

Well a resemblance then...

 

[gregtestagent]

That sneak peek just took this movie further away from the original. Characters have changed enormously, the plot has changed, the genre!

What.....how?

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

You can't please everyone, I guess.

Everyone of Charlie's friends and and family immediately believe that Jerry is a vampire, we got the new Evil telling charlie that he thinks his neighbor is a vampire! Secondly, everyone is involved in combating Jerry, minus his watchdog pal. Explosions! Crossbows! and motorcyles flying through air! Yeah, I'd say there is more emphasis on action this time around. The basics to the original plot was: you find out your new neighbor is a vampire, he knows you know, and no one will believe you because vampires are not supposed to be real. At least the old Jerry tried to be discrete, but if this new one has to tear up a whole town when one person found him out, then that's just ridiculous. One could argue that the old characters could have been utilized more, but making them all mini Van Hellsings is not the way to go.
