SiM Poster: Let Me In

A remake from a director that respects the source material

In 2004 Let the Right One In was released to the world as a novel by Swedish writer John Ajvide Lindqvist. Then in 2008 we got the fantastic (says Emil here) Swedish movie adaptation. Now, on January 15th, 2010 we will get the Hollywood remake of the story. Matt Reeves is directing the remake and is currently working on the second draft of the script. No word yet on how much of the story from the movie or book will make it into the film. All we know is that Reeves plans on keeping the horror aspect and feels it could be terrifying. Hopefully to do that he does not pass on any of the love story that caused the first film to get so much praise. The film has been renamed, it is now known as Let Me In.

I really hope they don't ruin the reputation of the wicked-ass original, though there's probably a pretty good chance they will...damn Yankees!
