Farrell to play vampire in ‘Fright Night’
May 2nd, 2011 - 7:44 am ICT by IANSLondon, May 2 (IANS) Actor Colin Farrell is set to play a charismatic vampire in “Fright Night” as director Craig Gillespie feels he has a “dangerous” quality that epitomises the character.
“We were so lucky to get Colin. It was perfect. He epitomises the character in ‘Fright Night’. There’s a dangerous quality to him and he’s very charismatic. He’s a very dark version of what’s been in the vampire realm these days,” director Craig Gillespie told Empire magazine.
Farrell, who plays sweet-talking bloodsucker Jerry in a modern day remake of the 1985 cult classic ‘Fright Night’, struggled to keep his character believable, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
“I mean for sure you try to make things as real as possible. I have conversations with myself: ‘Well he wouldn’t do that’and I go ‘What the f**k, he’s 400 years old’. I mean really? Craig and I have had arguments on how far to push it and how far not to,” he said.
