His character is suppose to be an expert on the occult as part of his act. He is suppose to be slaying vampires and such.

I'd rather see Tennant as Evil Ed...

Looks horrible.
But maybe that's just cause I hate Chris Angel.
Part of me is very glad they are making the re-make very distinctive. This move might work for me.
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
In the original, the "expert" was a late night TV horror host. So the leap to Vegas goth/horror/freaky stage magician isn't all that different. Did you expect them to call TAPS or the Destination Truth guy?

Well...Peter Vincent was portaying himself as a famous Vampire Killer on his TV show, and bragged about his adventures as if they were real. Charley Brewster was a fan but knew it was an act, but when he found out that vampires were real, and he couldn't get anyone to believe him, he went to the only person that might. Maybe they'll have a good reason for it, I'll have to wait and see, but right now It's kinda hard to picture Charlie Brewster going to a Las Vegas Show Magician for help.

his vile phenomenom has not get made it to the UK as far as I can tell. But i had the missfortune of watching his program while I was in Canada last month.
WOW.
"i'm gonna walk through a gate, but im gonna cover it up, so I could be doing it any possible number of ways, if I truely were a magician I would just walk through it and show how awesome i am" - yeah that was fun.
"oh hay im gonna teleport out of this car jumping over the grand canyon into a cage suspended over it, and im gonna show a constant camera shot so i coudltn possibly fake it. But did I mention that my constant camera angle will be obscured by a suspiciously cg looking fireball that flared up conveniently to blot out the actual appearing in the cage thing. Also its totally unbelievable that anyone would be given permission by anyone to jump a car into the grand canyon, but hay!"
yeah like what 30 mins and I hated him. I forget where this is going and what this thread is about, but doom to Criss Angle (sp).

ok, must look up the actress with the intensely unfortunate name "imogen poots"
ok a very attractive young lady and not at all pretentious flatulance.
I think it looks pretty cool. Do we know who's going to play Danridge or whatever the Vamps name was?

True, but why can't that angle also apply here. We have no idea what the shtick is for Tennant's character yet. We'll have to wait and see.

Peter Vincent - the character featured in Tom Holland's 1985 film Fright Night - is being dusted off for an upcoming Fright Night remake. And he's unrecognizable in more ways than one. Gone is the old coat and white hair. In comes the Chriss Angel style with his flowing black hair. It's no secret that Peter Vincent is going to be a master of illusion in the redo. He's a Vegas act. One that has a regular show at the Hard Rock apparently called "Fright Night" and, below, you'll find a look at actor David Tennant as Vincent on a banner we spotted recently. Can you even recognize the former Dr. Who in there?
Directed by Craig Gillespie and starring Anton Yelchin, Colin Farrell, Imogen Poots, Tennant, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Toni Collette, Fright Night opens on October 7, 2011.
