With Eduardo Rodriguez in the director’s chair and gorgeous Brit actress Jaime Murray -below (‘Hustle’, ‘Spartacus: Gods of the Arena’, ‘Dexter’) already lined up to play the main vamp this time around it seems that ‘Fright Night 2’ is definitely going to happen. The Fox Home Entertainment project which will be shooting straight to DVD and likely underwhelm all whom manage to catch it has scored a new trio of cast members that will obviously be replacing the whole of the original cast. So here we go…Will Payne (‘Elfie Hopkins’) takes Anton Yelchin’s place as Charlie Brewster, Irish actor Sean Power replaces David Tennant as Peter Vincent and finally Chris Waller (‘Inbred’) takes over from Christopher Mintz-Plasse as “Evil” Ed – yes, that’s right the DEAD vampire.
‘Fright Night 2’ will be shot in Romania, where the action of the movie is based, hence the largely British-based cast list.
“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.”
