Imogen Poots Joins Fright Night

Normally horror remakes are treated like wholesale junk -- and with good reason, right A Nightmare on Elm Street? -- but here's one to keep an eye on: Craig Gillespie's Fright Night. Already boasting an impressive cast -- featuring Anton Yelchin, Toni Collette, David Tennant, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and, as the vampire, Colin Farrell -- the remake has added Verge alumna Imogen Poots as the female lead. She'll play "the girlfriend," which sounds lame until you remember the original Fright Night and consider how many scenes she'll have opposite Farrell's evil vampire. [THR/Heat Vision]
