Watch the Trailer for ‘Fright Night’ Remake
Last weekend, I watched the original Fright Night with a couple friends, and then mentioned several times that I was extremely excited to see how the 2011 remake shaped up. Two reasons:
a) Colin Farrell is hot.
b) Hot Colin Farrell gets to be dangerous and seductively threatening toward Anton Yelchin.
Those are the facts, and I’m voting yes, and now the first trailer is online.
I appreciate that they’ve decide to make Charlie more badass than he was in the ’80s. It’s also a miracle that there don’t seem to be any uncomfortably overkill shenanigans with animatronics. (Was Evil Ed’s death prolonged or what? I do not want to see Christopher Mintz-Plasse naked and mutating for that long, let’s establish this right now.) In 2011, we’ve evolved to throwing people around and figuring out what else can be turned into a flamethrower.
The film also stars Imogen Poots, David Tennant, and the always magnificent Toni Collette. Between the cast and Colin Farrell hunting folks down, this looks like an amazing way to start winding down the summer when it hits theaters on August 19th.
