Star Trek star Anton Yelchin (he played Chekov for those of you who didn’t read the headline) has signed on to star in the Fright Night remake.

Yelchin will play Charley Brewster; a teenager who is convinced that a Vampire has moved in next door.

Fright Night will be directed by Craig Gillespie and written by Marti Noxon.

For those of you who don’t remember the original Fright Night, which was released back in 1985, here’s the original trailer and just because I’m in a good mood I’ve thrown in the trailer for Fright Night 2 as well…
