Colin Farrell, Toni Collette sink teeth into 'Fright Night'
Colin Farrell will sink his teeth into "Fright Night," DreamWorks' remake of the cult 1985 film that also will see Toni Collette play a mom who falls under his spell.
The two join Anton Yelchin in the 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 played the role in the 1985 pic.
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.
Michael De Luca and Alison R. Rosenzweig are producing "Fright," which Craig Gillespie is directing. Lloyd Ivan Miller, Michael Gaeta and Josh Bratman are executive producing.
The movie will be released through Disney.
"Fright" represents Farrell's first significant studio work since New Line's 2008 release "Pride and Glory" and 2006's "Miami Vice." After such movies as "Vice" and the big-budget disappointment "Alexander," Farrell retrenched to the indie world, earning a Golden Globe nomination for his portrayal of an assassin in the thriller "In Bruges" and appearing in last year's "Crazy Heart."
Farrell, repped by CAA, recently wrapped a starring turn in "London Boulevard," the directorial debut of Oscar-winning writer William Monahan.
After starting in film, Collette is now best known for starring in "United States of Tara," which DreamWorks Television produces for Showtime. The WME-repped actress won an Emmy last year for playing the title character.
