David Tennant introduces this extended clip from Craig Gillespie’s Fright Night remake that premiered at the Comic Con Q & A panel in Sand Diego on Friday.  The clip gives us a much closer inspection  of Peter Vincent, Vampire Hunter, than we had been given in any of the other trailers and clips.

I previously said that Tennant seems to have eschewed the Hammer House of Horror route and gone for Cris Angel and Vegas Goth. After watching this, I have to amend that to Cris Angel by way of Michael Sheen in the Underworld series. Suddenly he’s kinda hot. Until the striptease wherein he destroys the illusion for us as well as for poor Charley Brewster (Anton Yelchin) that is.

The official synopsis:

Senior Charlie Brewster (Anton Yelchin) finally has it all going on: he’s running with the popular crowd and dating the most coveted girl in his high school. In fact, he’s so cool he’s even dissing his best friend. But trouble arrives when Jerry (Colin Farrell) moves in next door. He seems like a great guy at first, but there’s something not quite right—but everyone, including Charlie’s mom (Toni Collette), doesn’t notice. After observing some very strange activity, Charlie comes to an unmistakable conclusion: Jerry is a vampire preying on the neighborhood. Unable to convince anyone, 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 also stars Imogen Poots, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Dave Franco. It opens  August 19 in the US & Canada and 2 September in the UK.
