'Fright Night' Exclusive Clip: Don't Invite Colin Farrell To Your Home

Think you will find the neighbor from hell? Tell that to Charley Brewster he's literally facing a neighbor in the great beyond through the amount of "Fright Evening," director Craig Gillespie's remake from the 1985 cult classic. It's teen Charley versus the vampire Jerry in "Fright Evening," which fight from the undead takes its toll on our poor hero. Within this MTV News exclusive clip, Charley does his better to explain the threat-next-door to his mother Jane without spilling the beans that Jerry's a bloodstream-drawing, fang-carrying monstrosity a thought that does not only wouldn't many sense at all, but wouldn't do worthwhile. But his capabilities to correctly articulate his fears are, forgive the pun, a little drained right now. Anton Yelchin stars within the movie as Charley, delivering a performance that film writer Marti Noxon formerly referred to to MTV as positively Spielbergian. "I believe [Anton's] likely to be huge," she told us in April. "He's such humanity. He's so likeable. He's an ideal Spielbergian hero, you realize? He's human-sized, but, he feels things so deeply and that he enables you to feel them as well. Which was really true overall. They simply dug in and pretended it wasn't a horror movieit's only a movie where some crazy stuff is going on. Anton, first of all, he just really introduced it." "Fright Evening" sinks its fangs into theaters this Friday (August 19). Inform us that which you think about the exclusive "Fright Evening" clip within the comments section as well as on Twitter!

Haven't We Seen Drive's Tagline Somewhere Before? (Hint: Yes)

Who knew that the No Country For Old Men poster would be so influential in 2011? A few months after the team behind the Fright Night remake appeared to borrow heavily from the one-sheet for the Coen Brothers’ big Oscar winner of 2007, an eagle-eyed tipster points out another upcoming film’s marketing debt. No clean getaways, indeed. But as a recent commenter at IMP Awards notes as well, No Country kind of adapted Traffic’s tagline — “No One Gets Away Clean” — for its own purposes, so hey. All’s fair in love and marketing. [Click below for full-size image]

Aretha Franklin

Band: Fred Nelson III, Richard Gibbs, Chas Craig, Teddy R. Whitened, Chinbat Batmunkh, Brenda Corbett, Winnie Scott, Shelly Ponder.It is a rare event whenever a singer of Aretha Franklin's stature, acclaim and purchasers figures (18 Grammys and most 75 million records offered) presents a totally free full-length concert, therefore it wasn't any surprise that her August. 4 Coney Island appearance came the greatest crowd within the Seaside Summer time Concert Series' 33-year history. The show was rescheduled from last summer time (after Franklin's fall triggered a cancellation) and follows her six-month break because of a significantly-promoted health fight. Contributing to the draw were questions regarding this comeback: would the 69-year-old legend's singing retain its energy, or perhaps be reduced by any means? The good thing is that her voice really appears more powerful than recently, and she or he made an appearance to become making wise options with how she uses it. While it's lengthy been well-maintained in the lower registers, Franklin's belting has sometimes adopted a raspy quality. However when she fearlessly hit our prime notes Thursday evening, they rang clearer compared to they have in more than ten years. Franklin is at a noticeably good mood through the show, less than as amazingly thin as she made an appearance in interviews this spring, but not even close to the heavy frame that likely led to her health problems. For many parts of the show, however, she was a little hard to hear, together with her mic levels lower compared to her fine band (featuring her boy, Teddy R. Whitened, on guitar) and her backup performers. Nevertheless, she sang in fine form at key moments through the evening. It's proof of Ms. Franklin's taste and artistry that nothing essential appeared to become missing from her 13-song set, a part of her voluminous catalog. She opened up having a solid cover of Jackie Wilson's "(Your Ex Keeps Lifting Me) Greater and Greater" and her signature "(You Are Making Me Seem Like) An All Natural Lady," then got everyone else on its ft with "Understand it properly,Inch devoted to author Luther Vandross. Strong assumes her very own classic songwriting triumphs, "Think" and "Day Fantasizing," adopted, and also the band's energy was fully revealed with another Vandross-composed tune, "Jump into it,Inch and also the 1970 hit "Don't Play That Song." Franklin has more on the line than the usual comeback from health issues together with her current run of shows, which continues with choose dates with the fall. She lately launched "A Lady Receding of affection,Inch the very first album from her very own label, Aretha's Records. Her business instincts started in when she introduced and closed the only "How Lengthy I have Been Waiting" by telling everyone else it had been available "at Walmart and Walmart.com." She also gave the folks the things they wanted: rousing renditions of "Chain of Fools," "Freeway of affectionInch (which converted into a revival-style, fitting chorus chant of "Jesus") and also the inevitable yet satisfying closer, "Respect." Among the evening's highlights saw Franklin in the piano for any moving "Bridge Over Troubled Water." Her finest performance from the evening was one she stated she had not practiced, a virtually a cappella "Moody's Mood for Love", which bested the faster-paced version on her behalf 1973 album "Hey Now Hey (Sleep Issues from the Sky)." The amount was ideal for the most powerful a part of her vocal range and remembered her best Columbia-era album, the 1966 jazz LP "Yeah!!!," featured within the label's new box set. Ms. Franklin could be smart to include a jazz album to her very own label's slate, and her solid concert selection might be increased by more tunes inside a similar range, such as the classic "Ain't Not A Way.Inch Contact the range newsroom at news@variety.com
