First up, the few stills I've managed to collect of David Tennant in the upcoming (and unnecessary) Fright Night remake. (I say unnecessary because, well... Fright Night was a horror/comedy, and the promos for this appear to be playing it totally straight horror. Hmm. On the one hand, vampires are hot right now. On the other, scary vampires are NOT hot right now. Now is the time of the sparkly, boy band, My-Little-Ponies-with-fangs vampires. *sigh* ) The original was saved from the ick by humor (and by Roddy McDowell and Chris Sarandon being funny/campy and serious by turns).
This one might be saved by-
Wait, what was I saying again? Oh, yeah.
This is how David's character looks on stage. (When Roddy played the same character, he was a host of a late night horror movie show. In the remake he's... some sort of Vegas performer or something? I'm not entirely sure.)
My first thought was that you really have to squint to see DT under all that. My second thought was
There was a second thought. I think it was something like "hominahominahywah" with a squeak thrown in for emphasis. The wig is a bit much but he's rocking that guyliner and leather. LEATHER. (Yes, I perv on leather. Sue me. :P It's durable. (Always a plus.)I like the smell. And the way it creaks when you move. It's a multi-sensory perv.)
The next one is big, and really not my thing at all, except for the fact that you can almost make out his actual features (intense eyes, lovely nose, pouted lower liii...Sorry. Got lost in my happy place for a bit), and there's a bit of chest. (To be honest, it was never his physicality that was the draw for me, though he is remarkably thin and I do like the string beans.)
The last one is obviously a screen grab from the trailer, but I'll take it:
I wish they had more DT in the trailers. He is one of the few actors I would brave the wilds of Colin Farrell's eyebrows for. (I kid. After In Bruges I've more or less managed to watch him without nightmares ensuing. He's a good actor, and totally NOT miscast as Creepy Vampire Man.)
Rumor has it that the PTB took notice of Mr. Tennant during filming, so this may be the start of him actually getting some broader US recognition and something like the level of filthy stinking rich he deserves. I hope so.
