Colin Farrell on Playing 'Sensual, Erotic' Vampire in 'Friday Night'

Colin Farrell appreciated playing a vampire in "Fright Evening.""People will always be attempting to bend and manipulate time to stay in their favor and seeking to defeat the ravages old," he informs "Reuters" of his new movie, in theaters Friday. "And vampires of the underworld are forever youthful, although it'd most likely be very annoying to become converted into one at 97, or 6. After which the way they attack and feed off their prey appears very sensual and erotic -- biting the neck. It's not necessary to be considered a vampire to take part in such activity, however it takes it for an extreme. Bloodstream may be the liquid of existence."Putting on the fangs was "easy!" Farrell adds. "They are doing the mold, then file them lower, and also you don't even see them putting on them. And it is very exciting. You insert them in, and instantly, due to all of the films you saw like a kid, you begin acting a particular way."Farrell states he would be a "huge" horror fan like a kid."Becoming an adult I loved "Nightmare on Elm Street," "Halloween" and "Friday the thirteenth," and there is nothing beats being scared. But still even today, just relaxing in the cinema and being frightened and discussing laughter -- nothing can compare to it," he states.He was eager to defend myself against lighter roles this season.InchI felt like I'd had 4 or 5 years where I'd done more dramatic pieces and performed figures that were not really getting a great time within their lives for a number of reasons, and I'd wanted to behave lighter. Then both of these films ["Horrible Bosses" and "Fright Evening"] arrived also it was happy days -Time to visit and play," he states.To do a horror remake, "I had been dubious in the beginning," Farrell confesses. "I loved the initial and you love to think about yourself as mixing things a bit and being a little original -- and this can be a remake of the vampire film in three dimensional. That's type of three for 3 in unoriginality.""However I felt I had been in good hands with [director] Craig Gillespie who did "Lars and also the Real Girl." I had been a large fan of this, and that i just loved the script. I did not wish to enjoy it, however it would be a blast of the read," states Farrell. "And playing the villain was great, although I believe my character's more about the periphery than he is at the initial.Inch The Hollywood Reporter
