Anton Yelchin is in talks to play the lead in the remake of the enjoyable cult horror flick Fright Night, to be directed by Lars and the Real Girl helmer, Craig Gillespie.
According to Variety, Yelchin is looking likely to play Charley Brewster, a chap who finds out he's living next door to a vampire. In the original, Charley turns to a legendary TV vampire expert for help, who at first thinks he's just mental, but then realises it is no hoax.
This version has been written by Marti Nixon, who was a regular scripter for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Dreamworks are the studio throwing a decent amount of clams at it.
