David Tennant and Christopher Mintz-Plasse ("Superbad," "Kick-Ass") have joined the cast of the "Fright Night" remake says the Heat Vision Blog
The original 1985 pic followed Charley Brewster (William Ragsdale), a young man who is convinced his new neighbor Jerry Dandrige (Chris Sarandon) is a vampire and seeks the help of his girlfriend (Amanda Bearse), his nerdy and condescending friend Evil Ed (Stephen Geoffreys) and ageing horror actor turned late night TV host (Roddy McDowall) to help him.
The new version is scripted by Marti Noxon and directed by Craig Gillespie, taking the action to Las Vegas instead of the suburbs
Tennant will take on the Vincent role which has been reimagined as a Las Vegas magician and self-proclaimed vampire expert whose show revolves around horror-movie imagery. When Charley (Anton Yelchin) tries to enlist his help however, he's less than helpful.
Mintz-Plasse will play the Evil Ed role, the nerdy friend who ends up joining vampy Dandrige (Colin Farrell)
Toni Collette is the teen’s disbelieving mom, who falls under the vampire’s spell.
Noxon talked to Variety about the characters....
Filming kicks off in July.
