Speaking of the Jerry Dandridge character, Colin Farrell who plays that character in the remake of the 80’s classic, Fright Night recently spoke with MTV and here’s what he had to say: “I mean, I loved the original, and I hope the film is — on it’s own — entertaining and works. Because I really did love the original, so much so that — as I’ve said — I was hoping I wouldn’t like the remake when I read it, because I didn’t want to have to answer questions about remakes and lack of originality and all that s—,” he laughed. “I didn’t want to think of myself in those terms either, so I was hoping that I didn’t like it. But read it and I’m an actor and I loved it and I went, ‘OK, let’s go to work.'”
The Fright Night remake is directed by Craig Gillespie and stars Colin Farrell, Anton Yelchin, Toni Collette, David Tennant, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Imogen Poots.
The movie hits theaters August 19, 2011.
