Hugh Grant voices the Pirate Captain – seen here meeting the dastardly Queen Victoria (Imelda Staunton) who is Not Amused – who leads his merry but less-than-totally-competent band of bucanneers around the seas in search of treasure and, preferably, the Pirate Of The Year award (modelled in this trailer by Brian Blessed’s Pirate King). Things, it’s fair to say, do not go entirely to plan.

The cast also includes David Tennant, Brendan Gleeson, Salma Hayek, Jeremy Piven, Martin Freeman, Ashley Jensen, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and Russell Tovey. It’s all based on the first two of Gideon Defoe’s Pirates! books, and directed by Aardman stalwart Peter Lord with co-director Jeff Newitt.

You can read more from Lord himself on the film in the guest blogs he’s written for us here and here. The film’s out on March 28 next year, and we’ll be following all the developments between now and then. This is some seriously funny stuff and, it almost goes without saying, gorgeous animation.

David talks about everything Fright Night in this interview.

Big big thanks to hamsterfur on livejournal for so generously allowing us to use her scans, we know how the recent Times magazine with Catherine Tate and David Tennant, also Radio Times scans featuring David’s Uganda diaries – I highly encourage EVERYONE to read this, it’s heartfelt and a good read!

We interrupt our latest Single Father video efforts to release the Photoshoot with David and Catherine that was released by Times (he and Catherine make the appearance towards the end, this features the entire photoshoot)

We’ll have more stuff coming up, I have a few videos to sort, maybe some screencaps if I’m feeling generous… Also, happy red nose day!

Geez, It’s been forever. I’ve had these videos waiting on my desktop for…Four months? Yeah, there’s no excuse for that. Hopefully we can treat this as a Tennantively birthday present! I chose what I deemed as pivotal or interesting scenes, best for demonstrating David’s talent and major points of the story.

Single Father Part One clip 1

David Tennant plays Dave, a newly widowed man and father of four children. This is part one’s beginning sequence.

Single Father Part One clip 2

This is the second clip selected from Single Father part one. This is a great scene for watching the character development of David and Surrane’s character as they fix the tent.

Single Father Part One clip 3

This is a truly riveting scene where Dave discovers his wife’s death. Amazing bit of acting, watch with a tissue box on hand!

Single Father Part One clip 4

Another great scene of acting. Dave is feeling quite reckless while speeding on his motorcycle and gets pulled over. One of my favorite scenes in part one.

Single Father Part One clip 5

Lovely scene of the family regrouping and sharing memories of Rita their mother, illustrating Dave’s attempts as the force that bonds his family.

Single Father Part One clip 6

Classic scene. Dave has a meltdown in his bathroom, Sarah attempts to cheer him up and be there for him as a friend, and they share a passionate moment that they must recuperate from.

I’ve made these in iMovie, so they’re better viewing quality (just takes longer to upload!) I’m working on parts two, three, and four now. Hopefully it won’t take another four months to get them over here.

Working on adding more videos to Media Tenn currently, so far in latest news we have David Tennant on North West Tonight 7th July 2010 & David Tennant Talks Decoy Bride on Reporting Scotland. Working on several screencaps as well, so stay tuned!

Friendly reminder to check out our forums, we’re always eager for new members!

New Tennantcast episode will be released today as well.
