After impressing in horror film Inbred, actor Chris Waller will be seen next in the follow up to the highly successful 2011 remake of Fright Night which started filming just before Christmas in Romania. He is taking over the role of “Evil” Ed Thompson (previously played by Christopher Mintz-Plasse) in the film due to be released on DVD later this year.

We here at MTV Movies Blog love a surprise. And we were plenty surprised to find out last night at the MTV Sneak Peek Week premiere of "Fright Night" that co-star Christopher Mintz-Plasse has a major musician for a mother.
MTV News caught up with Mintz-Plasse and director Craig Gillespie last night in Los Angeles as part of MTV Sneak Peak Week, and the two spoke a bit about the surprise casting of "Stay" singer Lisa Loeb as "Evil" Ed Thompson's momma.
"My casting agent suggested her," said Gillespie. "I just thought it was a great idea, and they just seemed to work well together."
We'll know for sure just how well they worked together when "Fright Night" hits theaters this August, but for now, Mintz-Plasse himself seems excited enough to have the Maryland-born and Texas-raised artist playing his mom. He first revealed the casting in...

MTV's Sneak Peek Week kicked off in fine fang-led form Monday night (May 30) with a special sneak preview screening of the highly anticipated vampire horror comedy "Fright Night." The lucky audience members in attendance were not only treated to the screening more than two months ahead of the film's release, but also took part in a lively Q&A session with star Christopher Mintz-Plasse and director Craig Gillespie.
Gillespie's re-telling of the 1985 classic drew gasps and laughs from the crowd, as did the lively repartee between Mintz-Plasse and Gillespie during the post-screening conversation.
"I thought it was great," attendee Jessi Lederer told MTV News. "It was funny and frightening and the 3-D was actually really cool. It was the perfect amount of everything.
