Has 'Fright Night' Found its Brewster?
Last bit of news we had on the Fright Night remake came in a few weeks ago when we told you that Craig Gillespie was brought on to direct the Dreamworks reboot. Today the THR Heat Vision blog announced that Anton Yelchin (Star Trek, Terminator Salvation) is in negotiations to star. Hit the jump for more.
According to Heat Vision, the new iteration, written by Marti Noxon, keeps the character's name the same as in the original: Charley Brewster. William Ragsdale, now seen on FX’s “Justified,” originated the role.
DreamWorks seems to have “Fright” on a potentially similar path as the company’s 2007’s hit “Disturbia.” The modestly-budgeted thriller followed a home-bound teen convinced that his neighbor was a killer and provided a breakout role for its young star, Shia LaBeouf.
Say it with me now... 'Oh, you're so cool Brewster!'
