1 in 10? I think you're optomistic. Maybe 1 in 100. And most who do will say "Fuck- these foreign films are slow. Wish they had more action- like the remake did.

That's what I don't get, a bad remake/sequel doesn't do anything to the original.

Principal photography began today on Let Me In, writer/director Matt Reeves' adaptation of Let the Right One In, in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Reeves (Cloverfield) and young stars Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Road) and Chloe Moretz ((500) Days of Summer) were among those on-set as filming commenced on the Hammer Films production at Albuquerque Studios. Filming will also take place in various other locations in New Mexico before returning to Albuquerque to wrap in January.

In the haunting and provocative Let Me In, an alienated 12-year-old boy (Smit-McPhee) befriends a mysterious young newcomer (Moretz) in his small New Mexico town and discovers an unconventional path to adulthood. The film is based on the bestselling vampire novel, Lat den Ratte Komma In, by Swedish author John Ajvide Lindqvist, and is an English-language remake of the highly acclaimed Swedish film of the same name.

The filmmakers note that while the new film will pay respect to the original Swedish version, they intend to forge a unique identity for Let Me In, placing it firmly in an American context.

"This project is very personal to Matt as it is to the many passionate fans of the original story," said Simon Oakes, President and CEO of Hammer Films. "The brilliance of that story deserves to be seen by audiences on a wide scale and we are excited that the pieces are in place to make that a reality."

Updates to the cast list include Elias Koteas (Shutter Island) as the policeman, Cara Buono (The Sopranos) as Owen's mother and Sasha Barrese (The Hangover) as "Virginia." It was previously announced that Smit-McPhee and Moretz would play the leads "Owen" and "Abby" respectively and Oscar-nominee Richard Jenkins (The Visitor) would play the guardian of "Abby".

Hammer Films acquired the remake rights to Let the Right One In at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival where the film took home the Founders Award for Best Narrative Feature. Swedish producers John Nordling and Carl Molinder, who produced the original film, are also involved as producers on this remake.

The production is scheduled for a 2010 release in the U.S. by Overture Films.

The Original Star Wars lacked the great Kung Fu training sequences of the Turkish Version..

all I care about is that I like the original and I couldn't care less about how many people end up seeing it. the remake will be trash, people will love it and forget about it quicker than the people who hate it.

Let Me In Trailer

Saw this today and was interested to hear opinions.
The original is honestly one of my favorite movies and I was fairly pissed that they felt the need to remake it insted of just dubbing it in english.

The trailer does look intriguing, we can but hope it does the original some justice.

Everyone Ive recommended the Swedish version to (and all loved it) have been horrified by the thought of a remake but maybe this one will surprise us. I will watch it no matter what though.
