While we haven’t seen much of David Tennant in the Fright Night trailer, early buzz suggests he steals the show! In fact, he’s so good that there’s already rumors that he could star in Fright Night 2!

Cinemablend is reporting from an inside source that DreamWorks is already talking about a sequel to Fright Night, but this one would be all David Tennant and Christopher Mintz-Plasse. Here’s what they have to say about the potential sequel (a few spoilers from the first film):
Our source tells us that DreamWorks is considering turning the franchise over to David Tennant for Fright Night 2. The followup would take place in a new city where Peter Vincent [Tennant] not only has to deal with vampires, but potentially other unexpected problems. Evil Ed wouldn’t be the movie’s villain, they’d go another direction, but Evil Ed will be in it.
All of a sudden, we have new reason to hope that Fright Night is one of this summer’s big hits.
