    Hey, they could have had him dressed in that old Holmesian tweed number with flower poured in his hair.

    Still, I think the nervous nelly oldster/faded actor approach could still be well done and I'm not sure why exactly they went this route. Just trying to differentiate and make the character more believable/accessible to modern viewers, I guess

    Personally, that's what I'd like to see, although I get what you're saying.

    Ummm, it's not true. Did that make you feel better?

    Sorry to tell you, but the picture I saw made him look like that Chris Angel 'Mind Freak' twat.

    Well, one good thing that can come out of this is a special edition for the original! They usually do that when a film is being remade.

    Ehhh, I'll still see it, but it might be a hard sell. I thought McLovin was an interesting choice. This guy I don't know about...

    I love the original, and I'm very sceptical about this one. More so now after seeing some pictures. Something tells me it just won't compare in any way.

    I like what another poster suggested in the B-D Comments section... get Christopher Lloyd to play Peter Vincent.

    That would be a good idea right there! Better than what they're doing now.

    Wow, "Fright Night" is now about Chris Angel. Now they just need to give Lady Gaga a cameo and it will be good to go for a contemporary re-make for the dumb-asses of the world.

    Zero interest in seeing it. I LOVE the original. Yet again another example of Hollywood taking something grand and turning it into crap to make a couple extra bucks. It's sad to say, but the re-make of "Prom Night" looked more interesting than this.

    Maybe the remake will be PG-13.

    This. I'm sure that the figure the stereotype of the Hammer-like actor a la Christopher Lee or Peter Cushing won't click w/ "Teh kidz 2day"...which is all the more reason why they can suck my nutsack.
