File this one under the “I’m disgusted but can’t seem to look away” section. So Elias Koteas, Richard Jenkins and Kodi Smit-McPhee (as Oskar) began principal photography yesterday for the remake of the much loved Let the Right One In; you know, the good vampire movie from last year that we couldn’t stop talking about around here.
Let Me In is directed by Matt Reeves (Cloverfield), who notes that while the new film will pay respect to the original Swedish version, they intend to forge a unique identity by placing it firmly in an American context. The plan is to have the film in theaters next year.
If you want to watch it onl1ne for free,...
In other words, [POTENTIAL SPOILERS] leave out any indication that Eli was once a boy, any of the other morbid parts of the story, and have an ending that is not nearly as awesome. But I bet it will have a lot of ACTION! YAH!
Just like the producer said a few months back, they will try to make this “very accessible to a wider audience.”
Lame.

But you’re right, as much as I dislike the idea, I’ll like see it. Oh sigh.
