OMG! I didn't pay any attention earlier..but the things happening in an awful way the title has been changed to “Let Me In“! WTF!?:mad: Are they wanna make a cheesy version of it...'Let me in, I did something terrible!'
The surprising part is it is being directed by Matt Reeves (Cloverfield)! It'd be better if he got busy with a Cloverfield sequel instead.



In an interview, Reeves expressed his intent to retain the original's early 1980s setting. He mentioned Littleton, Colorado, as a possible location for the remake, and revealed his own strong personal connection to the story: "It's a terrific movie and a fantastic book. I think it could be a really touching haunting and terrifying film. I'm really excited about what it could be." The title of the film has been changed to Let Me In, and the names of Oskar and Eli have been respectively changed to Owen and Abby. Reeves is currently working on the second draft of his screenplay for the film, which, following on previous reports, will be set in wintery Reagan-era Colorado, and is scheduled for a fall 2010 release.



Reeves vision of the film: “I see the film as essentially being the fantasies of this 12 year old who’s having such a hard time. It would never be that overt where you would watch the movie and say that’s a dream but to me that is kind of an organizing principle.” In response to the criticism of the remake, Reeves commented that: "I can understand because of people's love of the [original] film that there's this cynicism that I'll come in and trash it, when in fact I have nothing but respect for the film. I'm so drawn to it for personal and not mercenary reasons ... I hope people give us a chance." ...Do you really care ***##^****?:mad:
