Welcome To FRIGHT NIGHT and a Release Date

Exhibitor Relations has posted a FRIGHT NIGHT update over on Facebook.

FRIGHT NIGHT remake starring Colin Farrell and Anton Yelchin has scared up a release date: October 7, 2011. And yes, it will be in 3-D…

Oh great. Another unnecessary remake. Another 3D movie. Apparently Hollywood’s original story well has run dry.

DreamWorks remake of the 1985 film is about a teen (Yelchin) convinced that his new neighbor (Farrell) is a vampire. FRIGHT NIGHT’s cast includes Anton Yelchin, Colin Farrell, Toni Collette, David Tennant, Imogen Poots, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse.

With a story from Tom Holland, FRIGHT NIGHT’s original director and screenwriter, the screenplay is from Marti Noxon of tv’s “Buffy The Vampire Slayer.”

From producers Michael De Luca and Alison R. Rosenzweig and director Craig Gillespie (MR. WOODCOCK, LARS AND THE REAL GIRL), filming begins this summer in New Mexico.
