DreamWorks has released the first trailer for the upcoming remake of the horror flick Fright night starring Anton Yelchin and Colin Farrell. As far as first impressions go, I think the trailer looks pretty good. Sure, it’s definitely different from the original, but I feel that gives this film a bit more credit for not being a complete rip-off.
The film follows Charley Brewster (Yelchin) who guesses that his new neighbor Jerry Dandrige (Farrell) is a vampire responsible for a string of recent deaths. When no one he knows believes him, he enlists Peter Vincent (David Tennant), the opportunistic host of his favorite TV show, to help him take down Jerry and his guardian. Hit the jump to see the trailer and poster for Fright Night.
Fright Night comes from director Craig Gillespie and stars Colin Farrell, Anton Yelchin, David Tennant, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Toni Collette, Imogen Poots, Dave Franco and Reid Ewing. This film hits theaters August 19, 2011.
