Meet the Intense Peter Vincent in ‘Fright Night 3D’
The boys over at io9 have landed two exclusive images from Dreamworks’ Fright Night 3D, which is having its world premiere at the San Diego Comic-Con this month (it’s so comic related, right?) Said images feature David Tennant, who was cast as Peter Vincent in the remake. But instead of playing a doddering but lovable host of a late-night horror show, Tennant is a Vegas magician who kills vampires when he’s not writhing about on stage in his horrible Criss Angel leather pants. We can not wait to watch Tennant start killing both fake stage vampires and real-life vampires (including Collin Farrell). You’ll get to see him in action when Craig Gillespie’s flick hits theaters on August 19.
“Charlie Brewster (Anton Yelchin) is a high school senior who’s on top of the world–that is until Jerry (Farrell) moves in next door and Charlie discovers that he is a vampire preying on the neighborhood.”
Check out the other still at io9:
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
