Can't Be At Cannes 2011, Friday Edition
It sucks not being at the Cannes Film Festival. To keep you up-to-speed on all the latest developments with the minimum amount of pain and jealousy, we'll be providing frequent roundups of all the biggest news and best reviews. This is the second; for additional installments, along with all our Cannes coverage, can be found here.

‘Fright Night’ Trailer and Poster
Remaking Fright Night, Todd Holland's still-entertaining 1985 teen vampire horror/comedy, seemed like a dire prospect. But then Craig Gillespie (Lars and the Real Girl) came on to direct a script by Marti Noxon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) with Colin Farrell starring as the vampire who moves in next door to Charley Brewster, a high school student played by Anton Yelchin. Ok, so far so good. The script is pretty solid, and adds enough things to differentiate it from the original that this isn't at all a 100% straight remake.Now the first trailer is out, and you'll see how different some aspects of this version really are. While Chris Sarandon was perfect for the vampire role in the original, I'm happy to see that Colin Farrell's version might be just as intense as intended in the script. I've moved past all the reservations I had about remaking Fright Night»
