THR reports that the former Doctor Who star is joining the cast of Fright Night, the remake of the cult 1985 movie. Tennant will play Peter Vincent, a Las Vegas magician whose show revolves around horror movie imagery and who pretends to be a vampire expert.
In the original the character was the host of a late-night horror TV show and was played brilliantly by Roddy McDowall. In Fright Night, a teen called Charlie (Anton Yelchin) is convinced that his new neighbour (Colin Farrell) is a vampire. He seeks the help of Vincent but the so-called "expert" is an hapless incompetent.
If David Tennant can do more than a goofy version of the Doctor this choice could be interesting.
