Does the Trailer for ‘Fright Night 3D’ Bite?

Published

on

Inside you’ll find the first official trailer for DreamWorks’ Fright Night 3D redo from director Craig Gillespie.

Most of the footage makes me want to take this Friday the 13th and enjoy the original classic from Tom Holland, while there are some things that intrigue me. Mostly, I’m curious as to how well the battle between Carlie (played by Anton Yelchin) and Jerry (Colin Farrell) will play out. As for scares, I think we’re in for a slew of “jumps” as the hand to the glass indicates (blah!) Sh*t, I may just watch Distrubia again instead….

Charlie Brewster is a high school senior who’s on top of the world–that is until Jerry moves in next door and Charlie discovers that he is a vampire preying on the neighborhood.

Fright Night stalks into theaters August 19. Tell us what you think of the trailer.

If you want to watch a fun movie, watch a Ryuhei Kitamura movie. Whether it’s 2000’s Versus, 2004’s Godzilla: Final Wars, 2008’s The Midnight Meat Train or 2022’s underseen The Price We Pay, Kitamura always knows how to deliver a wild and crazy good time.

Up next from Ryuhei Kitamura? Deadline reports that he’ll be directing Thrill Ride, which sounds a bit like the best parts of Final Destination 3… expanded into a feature film!

Deadline details, “the English-language film will tell the story of a group of people, including two young women, who are trapped upside down on a roller coaster taken over by a mysterious saboteur threatening to drop them all one-by-one to their deaths.”

Film Bridge International is launching the project for sales ahead of the Cannes market.

Chad Law and Christopher Jolley wrote the screenplay.

Thrill Ride is exactly the type of high-concept based thriller that our customers are looking for in the marketplace,” said Film Bridge’s Ellen Wander and Jordan Dykstra. “With Ryuhei at the helm, we know his vision and execution will deliver thrills of the highest quality.”

“As a hardcore rollercoaster fan since I was young, I immediately fell in love with this script filled with suspense, action, crazy ups and downs, turns, loops, and corkscrews at maximum speed,” adds Kitamura. “I can’t wait to get on a ride and bring life to the wildest rollercoaster imaginable.”

We’re already seated. Stay tuned for more on Thrill Ride as we learn it.
