Malcolm McDowell? When are they going to leave good movies alone and start remaking bad movies into good ones?
I wonder how they'll approach the Roddy McDowell role, I don't think late night TV hosts are very common these days.
Actually... that's not a bad idea. He's probably the only one I'd be okay with seeing take on Roddy's role.
People aren't talking about the young male lead. They're talking about the character played by Roddy McDowell in the original, who was an old, has-been horror movie actor. Maybe Robert Englund or Christopher Lee?
Oops! I missed that! (I plead jet lag.) The tricky part of updating FRIGHT NIGHT is going to be the late-night horror movie host thing, which isn't really part of pop culture anymore. Maybe Peter Vincent is working the convention circuit these days, selling his autograph to horror fans like Charlie?
Thought this was about "Friday Night Lights" at first, and was really confused. I like Yelchin, so I'd be willing to check this out. There certainly do seem to be a lot of vampire flicks lately though, I'm hoping this trend is going to scale back a bit and we're going to see these metered back and will only get "cool" ones from now on, instead of just be inundated with everything vampire.
