David Tennant in Fright Night

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.

David Tennant at the Emmys

Poor lad walked the red carpet alone tonight at the 2010 Emmy Awards. He looked a bit lost at times, and you just know that no one, or not many people, knew who he was. At one point, he wandered into camera shot behind Piers Morgan who was about to be interviewed. It looked like he was being led by a dark haired woman; a staffer of some sort, or maybe one of his handlers, but they were directed back the other way. I'm quite sure each and every fangirl that saw that thought much the same thing-oh, poor baby! I'm coming to hold your hand! (But as sorry as I felt that he was by himself, I have to say that I am very grateful that the Child was not with him. My gag reflex has been a bit sensitive of late.)

I'm kind of digging the suit he was wearing. I really like the black-on-black look on him. The coat was a longer style and was paired with skinny trousers. My only complaint is that it looked like it needed some tailoring- the pants were a bit too long, as were the sleeves. I don't know how much advance notice he had that he was attending, it may have been last minute, which would explain much. He did look really good tonight though; rested, healthy, slightly tanned. Being in the US is clearly benefiting him physically, or it may just be enjoyment of the work. But to be on the safe side, I vote that he move here, after all, why take any chances? (And just to be facetious-maybe it's because of the separation from the hangers-on, hmmm?)

In the UK he is such a superstar. I wonder if he is enjoying the anonymity he is experiencing here, or if he is missing the limelight a bit. Certainly, his red carpet experience tonight was vastly different from what he has become accustomed to over the past few years. Let's hope that changes soon. Decoy Bride has been filmed, and Fright Night is in the works. Both films will be in theatres in 2011. The man so deserves to be as well known here as he is in the UK.
