In the Vampiristic episode of the Nerding Out About Podcast, the crew delves into the 2011 film, Fright Night. Starring Anton Yelchin, Colin Ferrell and David Tennant, this film stands as a remarkable remake, that is certainly worthy of its namesake!

Directed by Craig Gillespie, director of Lars and the Real Girl, Million Dollar Arm, but nothing new coming up

Cast & Crew

• Anton Yelchin - Charley Brewster
• Toni Collette - Jane Brewster
• David Tennant - Peter Vincent
• Colin Ferrell - Jerry
• • Role of Jerry almost went to Heath Ledger
• Imogen Poots - Amy
• • Awful American accent. Listen to the way she pronounces several words..sounds like she's eating somethign.
• "The Other Franco" Dave Franco - Mark

Conversation Starters:

• Let's take a second to recognize the power music has in a film, and how the music in this film ranks it up 4 notches alone.
• Apparently this film was truly a love note to the 80's style filmmaking, with Spielberg being actively involved with the flick. Filmed crucifix and the pool scene, and insisted a shark like jaw be used on Jerry. Did you guys catch all of the references throughout the flick?
• I think Kid Comeback, Gladiator Man and Squid Man have nothing on Tits McGee, Smuckers and Sun Spot
• Are you guys aware of the documentary about Fright Night "You're So Cool Brewster! The Story of Fright Night"
• • Looks absolutely awesome, and is due out soon
  • Apparently the story was originally developed as a "Boy Who Cried Wolf"
• This might be my most favorite interpretations of Vampires

Movie Thoughts:

• End of the movie, wouldn't the girlfriend be so unimaginably mind fucked? She was just a vampire, who has been drinking blood from both the living and dead, and now she wants to do the hippity dippity with Anton Yelchin?
