A million thanks to @seduff_ for so brilliantly cleaning up these images!So, myself and the fangirls were all a-twitter (ha!) today about the 4 new pics that were posted of David Tennant as Peter Vincent (Fright Night). Most of us agree that the lace-up leather pants are totally smokin' hot! And we appreciate that they didn't airbrush out the appendectomy scar, which we are hoping means that it will be visible for a good portion of the film!
As much as I would love for DT to wear this, or even less, for the duration of the film, I have strong suspicion that will not be the case. My feeling is that we will get one decently sized scene of Peter Vincent on stage, performing his magic act in this costume, and then we will see him change off stage. He will remove the wig, beard and mustache, and the next thing we see will be Peter Vincent, geek! (Best of both worlds. Make the entire fangirl population happy. Maybe even add in some brainy specs.) I just don't see him running around as the "vampire-hunter" in this get up. And I see the comedic aspects of making his stage persona so far out from the real, more mundane, ordinary Peter Vincent.
Unfortunately, we have more than a year to wait and further speculate as things get leaked. (This was a controlled leak, surely. Just to generate some early buzz, and maybe to test the waters a bit?) I, for one, am already desperate to see David in this film. I don't know how I will make it until October 2011. Thank goodness for Single Father and Decoy Bride! Maybe there will be a few other projects in the mean time.
Surely, this will majorly increase his fan base. He should be a huge star here in the US. Hope Dreamworks promotes and plays this right.

I want all good things for him. He deserves it. Going to bed now and dream of leather and lace.
I can assure you it was not a controlled leak. I can also assure you that this film will be a surprising and refreshing remake of the original.
