Sarcazmo recasts the 2011 Fright Night remake.

1985's Fright Night told the tale of a teenage boy who comes to realize his new next door neighbor is a vampire. After trying to convince the police and his friends to help him to no avail, he asks a local TV star to help him out.

Fright Night is one of the top 5 horror movies of the 1980's. What it lacks in budget and effects, it makes up with acting and script. For the money they had, the cast they got was solid. Next year this movie will be remade. Its pretty much certain it wont hold a candle to the original, but I'm enticed none the less.



Now that the official cast has been announced, Caz thought he would pick his dream cast if he was in charge. So I will list the original character, the remake choice, and Sarcazmo's choices. Here we go.

Amy Peterson played by Amanda Bearse. Best known for her role on the TV sitcom Married with Children. Bearse's character is a sweet, innocent, virgin who loves her boyfriend. Late in the movie she gets bitten and turns into this.....

A big mouthed, in heat, bad eye make-upped, SHE-VAMP.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
Who will play her in the 2011 remake? Imogen Poots.WHO?? IMDB says she was in V for Vendetta and 28 Weeks Later. She looks like an innocent little tike so we shall see.





 
 
 
 

 

 
 
 

 
 

Who would Sarcazmo have cast? 100% convinced a pre- drugs/crime/lesbian/jail/coke Lindsay "you don't mess with the" Lohan would be the perfect choice. I would have beaten Robert Rodriguez to the punch and cast her in Fright Night before he got her for Machete. She can do cookie cutter virginal school girl better than anyone on the market. Just watch Mean Girls, she could totally do this character, and she definitely has the "goods" to be a sexy she-vamp.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Charley Brewster played by William Ragsdale. Ragsdale went on to do some TV, but he'll never be remembered for anything but this performance. His performance is quality through and through. He is just the right mix of sissy mamas boy meets wannabe/never will be hard ass.

 
 
 
 
 

Who will play him in the 2011 remake? Anton Yelchin. As long as he doesn't have that Star Trek accent, I guess I can live with this. I'm not really a fan of this guy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

 

 

 

 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Who would Sarcazmo have cast? Who can play pretty boy that tries to be tough but never will be...oh yeah, its Shia "Shangri La" Beouf. The bad news is he would have been too busy to do this film and his asking price is too much for a medium budgeted horror production. The good news is he was already in a Fright Night remake...2007's Disturbia.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     Stephen Geoffreys as 'Evil Ed' Thompson. Stephen made the huge mistake of passing on playing Evil Ed again in Fright Night 2. He instead made the immortal 976-Evil...which grossed

$2,955,917 worldwide. Fright Night 2 grossed $2,983,784, so in the short term it didn't really matter.  In the long tern he ended up doing gay porn and not much else. Had he done the sequel, he could at least have made some chump change on the horror festival convention tour.

 

 

 

 

Who will play him in the 2011 remake....Mclovin. Christopher Mintz "heroin is so" Plasse. This just has epic fail written all over it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Who would Sarcazmo have cast. Easy choice here, my man Ben "Australian for beer" Foster. Ben can play dork, loser dork, sad dork, scared dork, weird dork, and then scary vampire dork. I mean is there anybody else, this should be his role.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jonathan Stark as Billy Cole. Billy Cole is Jerry Dandridges right hand thing. Kind of a cocky, high school bully type. He guards him while he sleeps. What he is exactly remains a mystery. Some have said he is a mummy, others say he is a half vampire. Its never made clear in the film.

Who's playing him in the movie.............................no one. Apparently his character has been written out. What a dick move. He could of been awesome. Give him all kinds of strengths and powers. Make him a real a-hole,  You need an extra bad guy for fight scenes.

Who would Sarcazmo have cast? A slew of capable actors to choose from. Ashton Kutcher can do a-hole with the best of them. Kevin Bacon could be a more menacing guardian. Liev Schreiber could be a creepier deadlier Billy Cole. My choice though can do all of those things.  

Timothy Olyphant would be my choice. He can do creepy, bully, and tough. I can just see him catching Charley Brewster snooping around..."hey kid, what are you doing".

Jerry Dandridge played by Chris Sarandon. Sarandon is nails in this movie. This is Sarandons finest career moment. Hes charming, but bad ass when he needs to be. A tragic figure, didn't have a choice when he was bitten.

     Who's playing him in the 2011 remake. Colin Farrell. I like this choice, I like Colin as a bad guy here. I think he is going to do fine.

    Who would Sarcazmo have cast? George Clooney. He has the suave, debonair demeanor. Can do tragic. Not usually a bully tough guy, but he would pull it off.

     Roddy Mcdowall as Peter Vincent. Pretty much steals the movie. What a fantastically written character in a movie filled with them. Peter Vincent is a cable access horror movie host who is asked by Charley Brewster to help him kill a vampire. You need the right mix of thespian, sissy-boy and camp to play this role, and Roddy has it down pat.

Who is playing him in the 2011 remake? David Tennant. Best known as Dr.Who from the TV show Dr.Who. Caz doesn't do too much TV, so this choice is baffling. There are so many other actors out there who could play the character. Oh and in this remake Peter Vincent is a magician, not a TV show host....weak.

Who would Sarcazmo have cast? My first choice was Ian Mckellan, but after I watched Inglourius Basterds, I'm 50/50. Christoph Waltz looks and acts so much like Roddy Mcdowall its not even funny. Mckellan could so do an old washed up horror movie actor who longs for  the days of yesteryear. Either choice is fine with me, but I would give Mckellan the edge because he is one of my favs.

Bonus blog. Kim Cattrall as Charleys mom..."dinner is in the oven".
