Although there are many that believe a Fright Night remake is useless, director Craig Gillespie looks to be having quite a lot of fun with his update. The first trailer hinted at the over-the-top hijinks to be found, and now we have a new trailer via STYD from the MTV Movie Awards. We get our first look at David Tennant as Peter Vincent, who stars alongside Anton Yelchin, Colin Farrell, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Imogen Poots and Toni Collette. I’m still unsure about the 3D aspect, but I’ll definitely be checking this one out. See the trailer below, followed by the first Farrell-filled clip.

Synopsis:
Senior Charlie Brewster (Anton Yelchin) finally has it all—he’s running with the popular crowd and dating the hottest girl in high school. In fact, he’s so cool he’s even dissing his best friend Ed (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). But trouble arrives when an intriguing stranger Jerry (Colin Farrell) moves in next door. He seems like a great guy at first, but there’s something not quite right—and everyone, including Charlie’s mom (Toni Collette), doesn’t notice. After witnessing some very unusual activity, Charlie comes to an unmistakable conclusion: Jerry is a vampire preying on his neighborhood. Unable to convince anyone that he’s telling the truth, Charlie has to find a way to get rid of the monster himself in this Craig Gillespie-helmed revamp of the comedy-horror classic.
Fright Night hits theaters August 19th, 2011.
