Well, FRIGHT NIGHT 2 is currently filming in Romania and it seems the film’s new cast has finally been revealed. Here’s how the line-up breaks down (with accompanying pictures for reference):
Will Payne has been cast as the new Charlie Brewster, taking over the role from Anton Yelchin.
Chris Waller (star of the upcoming INBRED) has displaced Christopher Mintz-Plasse as the new Evil Ed.
Sean Power is the new fearless vampire killer Peter Vincent, replacing David Tennant.
Jaime Murray (pictured below), Sacha Parkinson, John-Christian Bateman, Liana Margineanu, Alina Minzu, Adi Hostiuc and Joelle Coutinho round out the rest of the cast. The direct-to-DVD sequel is directed by Eduardo Rodriguez and seems to ignore the events of the remake in favor of retelling the core story of Tom Holland’s 1985 original. Check out the synopsis below and stay tuned for further FRIGHT NIGHT 2 updates.
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.
