Here are the fun facts about "Fright Night 2011"
• “Fright Night” boasts a truly international cast. Gillespie and Collette are from Australia, Poots was born in England, Farrell hails from Ireland, Tennant is from Scotland and Yelchin is from Russia.
• Gillespie directed Collette to an Emmy® Award and a Golden Globe® Award for her starring role in Showtime’s “United States of Tara.”
• Farrell, who plays the role of the vampire Jerry, is such a fan of the original “Fright Night” that he has seen the classic horror film at least 12 times.
• Tennant, portraying vampire expert Peter Vincent, is a classically trained British actor.
• When Poots shot an old revolver at vampire Jerry, it was the first time she had ever fired a gun. The gun created for her is actually a replica of a gun owned by World War II hero, General George S. Patton.
• “Fright Night” screenwriter Marti Noxon has a lot of experience with the undead, having previously written for vampires on the popular television series “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.”
• “Fright Night” is set in Las Vegas, where late-night activity is not viewed as out of the ordinary.
• One-of-a-kind props include the St. Michael’s stake, which was whittled from wood and bone, the Assyrian Egyptian vampire stake, the Polynesian stake, crosses, vials of holy water and a stake gun, all designed and built by Prop Master Ben Lowney.
• Lowney used a sharp piece of bone to create one of the vampire stakes. On the cap, he inscribed something cryptic in ancient Greek and Latin, which he is keeping as a secret while waiting for someone to slow down the movie and decipher what has been written.
• To create a crucifix nail that looks ancient, Lowney researched photos of Roman nails that are in the British Museum. To achieve the same look, he soaked an iron bolt in acid for a week. When finished, it looked like a relic.
Opening soon across the Philippines, “Fright Night is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures International.
