David Tennant Joins St Trinians II

It's detention time for David Tennant as he goes from Time Lord to House Master for St Trinians II: The Legend Of Fritton's Gold.

As if one installment wasn't bad enough, the girls in small uniforms are back, and they're ready for a spot of gold-digging. Searching for the hidden treasure of the legendary Fritton's Gold, the film will see Tennant sizing up to the girls as their arch-nemesis, the mysterious misogynist Pomfrey, part of a woman-hating secret society called AD1.

Also joining the cast will be Girls Aloud 'bombshell' Sarah Harding and softly spoken Ashes To Ashes WPC Monserrat Lombard. Returning for another term are Rupert Everett, Colin Firth, Gemma Arterton, Talulah Riley, Jodie Whittaker, Juno Temple, Tamsin Egerton, Celia Imrie and Fenella Woolgar.

The film begins principal photography today, for an eight week shoot at Ealing Studios.

What a waste of talent
Well, there goes one of Britian's finest. Its a shame - Hamlet should have really started his career in the film industry. If you look at his CV, it shows how good he is and the range he is capable of (from Hamlet and Takin' Over the Asylum to Casanova, hell, even Harry Potter 4) but St. Trinians II?! How could they even make a sequel, the first one was dire enough. ... Read More

so in agreement with Taz69 and Paul.mccluskey. seriously, why do this to your career and dignity after staring in work like Casanova and Doctor Who and the Obvious Great Hamlet. If he's going to do something decent with the big screen, do the adaptation of Hamlet. This is a sad day for Tennant and for me. As good as he is at doing comedy and humour he's not Rupert Everet and he can't pull this off with his head held high. ... Read More
