Christopher Mintz-Plasse and David Tennant join Fright Night
Tennant and Mintz-Plasse join Anton Yelchin who is playing Charlie. He is a teen convinced that his new neighbor (Colin Farrell) is a vampire. Toni Collette is Charlie's disbelieving mom, who falls under the vampire's spell.
Tennant is going to play Peter Vincent, he is a character from the original movie who was originally played by Roddy McDowall as the host of a late-night horror show. In this new version, he is a Las Vegas magician whose show revolves around horror-movie imagery. Vincent says he is a vampire expert, but when the teen comes to him for assistance, he doesn't offer any help.
Mintz-Plasse will be Evil Ed, he is Yelchin's friend who is upset that Charlie has left his geek past behind and thus joins up with the vampires.
The film will be released through Disney.
Fright Night was released August 19th, 2011 and stars Anton Yelchin, Colin Farrell, Toni Collette, David Tennant, Imogen Poots, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Dave Franco, Reid Ewing. The film is directed by Craig Gillespie.

Is it a typo because they said Dreamworks is releasing it but also mentioned Disney? Those two studios aren't together. It is Paramount that has Dreamworks. A little confused here...

Okay, so they went young with Peter Vincent. Still a Brit liked I had said they needed. I'm pleased with the choices.

I wonder who will be playing the Chris Sarandon and Amanda Bearse roles? Good cast so far.
