First Stills from the Fright Night Remake

Craig Gillespie’s upcoming remake of Tom Holland’s absolute classic Fright Night still has a few more months to go till we can witness his take on the film, but until then take a gander at a couple of stills from the remake courtesy of the guys over at Moviefone.

I have to say these images haven’t really changed my view on the remake but perhaps it could live up to the original, we shall see.

Anyway the images consists of Colin Farrell (Jerry Dandridge), Anton Yelchin (Charlie Brewster), Imogen Poots (Amy Peterson) and Christopher Mintz-Plasse (“Evil” Ed).

Synopsis: “Senior Charlie Brewster (Anton Yelchin) finally has it all going on: he’s running with the popular crowd and dating the most coveted girl in his high school. In fact, he’s so cool he’s even dissing his best friend. But trouble arrives when Jerry (Colin Farrell) moves in next door. He seems like a great guy at first, but there’s something not quite right—but everyone, including Charlie’s mom (Toni Collette), doesn’t notice. After observing some very strange activity, Charlie comes to an unmistakable conclusion: Jerry is a vampire preying on the neighborhood. Unable to convince anyone, Charlie has to find a way to get rid of the monster himself in this Craig Gillespie-helmed revamp of the comedy-horror classic.”

Fright Night hits theatres on August 19, 2011.
