The First "Fright Night" Remake Poster!

Above is the first promo poster of the 2011 remake of "Fright Night". Now, I've never saw the original 80's one, but I'm sure it'll be on tv soon or get re-released on DVD for like a 5iver or something like that.
So basically, the promo is 10th Doctor, the great David Tennent, dressed-up looking like Jesus, but it's not. He's playing some guy called Peter Vincent in the film.
Now seeing as I haven't saw the original, I'd guess that this Vincent character is some sort of a Wizard. I don't know. I'll just go and watch the 80's one and see this one when it comes out like next year.
