"He's raising an eyebrow."

You know I love Barty Crouch, he's my The Doctor, but this poster ain't doing it for me. And THIS shit right here is why I hate fuckin' remakes, re-envisionings whatever you all the bullshit apologists that pollute this site wanna call'em. What the hell does what is in that poster have to do with "Fright Night"? Tenant acting all butch don't work, chief. Isn't he supposed to be the Roddy McDowell charater, or some Punisher cosplayer. That shit looks weak.
Fuck this movie.

I approve. With my pants.

He may not look particularly threatening, but I still love me some Tennant. Could have used just a touch more scruff though.

Looks rather camp.
Oh, sorry! I didn't meant to say camp. Now, what was that word . . .
Ah!
Crap! That was it! This movie looks rather crap!

I thought it was Nicholas Cage at first.

It's Tennant. In leather.
My God, you people are hard to please.
Thank you Dustin.

For a second I thought there were two John Cusack articles in a row xD

I almost didn't recognize him toting that gun...

PaddyDog, agreed.
My god. I think I need to excuse myself for a moment.

Forgot to mention that my 13 year old daughter squealed out loud. She says thanks.
I kept trying to tell her he was more age-appropriate for me. Then he went and got engaged to that blond and blew my argument out of the water.

On the one hand David Tenant is the only time a Doctor has given me an erection outside of anyone who is lucky enough to give me a physical. On the other hand, if remakes are hardly ever good when they have good movies to rip off. What on earth makes people think a movie that was only liked after the fact is ripe for remaking?

So is he a fraidy cat like Roddy McDowall was, which makes this pose posturing, or is Peter Vincent a badass in this version? I haven't watched the trailer yet. Perhaps that would answer my question.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, he's engaged to the girl who played his daughter, and who's the real daughter of one of the previous Doctors? And she's 26? Ok folks, I have one year left to become as awesome as Georgia Moffet so I don't feel like I've done nothing with my life when I'm her age. (...and then steal David Tennant away and get him to fix that... hair/eyebrow thing he's got going. It's like the hair on the right side of his face is running away in fear from The Eyebrow.)

For a man carrying what appears to be an 1897 winchester trench gun, not one but TWO bandoleers of shells and stakes, a Jambiya and what appears to be a hatchet (hard to tell, could be a hawg-leg winchester I suppose)... *ahem*
For a man so tricked out for mayhem, he looks about as threatening as a chihuahua that's been covered in candy floss.
He's not scary, he's not intimidating, he's not butch, he's not macho. I'm sorry. All he looks is ridiculous.
A for Effort, C- for execution.
I say this as a firm fan of David Tennant - he is NOT Charles Bronson, he is not Steve McQueen, he is not John Wayne, he is not even Chow Yun Fat.
I love him, but in this image he just looks like a dubious Smiths fan heading to their weekly LARP session.
Though if that's what they're going for, they're dead on.

Wha are you people...I don't even...David Tennant with a BIG ASS GUN. IN A CAMPY VAMPIRE MOVIE. Seriously. How can you not love it? Maybe you should go see your doctor and get that checked out.

C'mon folks, in addition to Number 10, this movie has Imogen Poots!
IMOGEN POOTS, the best name in movies.
/Is this thing on?
I give up.

Wintermute, I'd be more frightened of the chihuahua. Those little bastards can pack a mean bruising bite.
This? I'm channeling Foghorn Leghorn's chickenhawk protege. I think I could fight him off with a bowl of warmish oatmeal and some very loud-popping bubblewrap.
What does it say about your intimidation factor if your armed-to-the-teeth poster only inspires a strong desire give you a good cuddle?

I care so little about how 'butch' he is supposed to look that it isn't even funny. It's David Tennant. In all his pointy glory. In a leather coat. With a gun. Looking slightly crazy, which for some reason makes it even better. I am in my happy place, and you can't make me leave it, so nyah.
Posted by: elleyezee at June 29, 2011 10:41 AM
It's Tennant in leather, so whatever, I'm ok with it. I'm easy to please - I even thought he was hot as the camp-as-hell Ghost on the Catherine Tate Xmas show.
But I'm also hoping, for the sake of the movie, that this is meant to be ironic.
It is, isn't it?
Please?

I've seen more threatening-looking three-week-old puppies.
How is he raising the stakes? Is he using mousse as well as hairspray?
