DreamWorks has released the first trailer for Craig Gillespie's 3D remake of Fright Night which stars Anton Yelchin, Colin Farrell, Toni Collette, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, David Tennant and Imogen Poots, I did a set visit for Fright Night and recently watched twenty minutes of the film in a Santa Monica editing suite. I'm confident the remake is going to be cool. Judge for yourself by checking out the trailer after the jump along with the poster. Fright Night hits theaters August 19th.
Poster and trailer via IGN. For more Fright Night coverage, here's my edit bay recap and my interview with Farrell and Gillespie.
Here's the official 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.
