Following the trio of posters that are being voted on for use as the official DVD artwork for the upcoming home release of ‘Fright Night 2’ a brand new trailer has come bombing along adding further to the confusing premise which sounds more like another remake/reimagining than a direct sequel to Craig Gillespie’s 2011 do-over. It lands on DVD and Blu-ray stateside on 1 October, will be wrapped in by what looks to be rather unimaginative artwork, and star a whole host of new actors taking on the roles of previous characters we’ve come to know and watch develop. The gorgeous star of hit BBC series ‘Hustle’ Jaime Murray -below (‘Spartacus: Gods of the Arena’) takes the lead vamp role in the remake/sequel(!?) and she is joined by Will Payne (‘Elfie Hopkins’), Sean Power, Chris Waller and Sacha Parkinson.
“When high school student Charlie attends a study abroad program with his horror obsessed friend “Evil” Ed and ex-girlfriend AMY in Romania, he soon discovers their young attractive professor Gerri (Jaime Murray) is a real life vampire. Too bad no one believes him. In fact, Evil Ed finds it amusing and it only feeds his vampire obsession. When Gerri turns Ed, Charlie seeks out Peter Vincent, the infamous vampire hunter (well, he plays one on TV) who is in Romania filming his show “Fright Night,” to teach him how to take down Gerri before she gets to Amy, who’s blood will cure Gerri of spending eternity as a vampire.”
