Colin Farrell and Toni Collette joins Fright Night


Okay, maybe there's some hope for this remake.

Colin Farrell and Toni Collette will join the cast! Colin will be the evil and hot vampire, Jerry Dandrige. Toni will be Charlie's mom.

The two join Anton Yelchin in DreamWorks' new version, which sticks to the original concept of a teen (Yelchin) being convinced that his new neighbor is a vampire, though no one will believe him.

Farrell has the plum role of the vampire, named Jerry, who on the surface appears to be a cool guy but is really preying on the neighborhood. Chris Sarandon originated the role.

Collette is Yelchin's mom, who at first disapproves of the new arrival but changes her attitude when she meets the magnetic man and -- surprise -- doesn't believe her son when he tries to tell her Jerry is a vampire. Craig Gillespie is directing.

Things are looking good for this flick. However, they have to get Stephen Geoffreys to make a cameo in the movie.

Just because they got name actors does not mean it will be good.
Afterall, Liam Neeson was in Clash of The Titans.

Alright - when this flick came out I saw it twice in cinema and then had a VHS copy (yes - no DVD's at that time). This is truly one of my fave movies. And the cast is already rocking - it can only get better!
