As you might know by now Cloverfield director, Matt Reeves, has decided to remake the incredible Swedish vampire film,Let the Right One In. There’s no reason for him to remake this film, the original was perfect, and for him to think he could do better is just silly. But, the production is moving forward, casting has begun, and now there are three promotional posters for the film that have been obtained by our friends at /film. These posters are going to be used to help sell the film in international markets, the same markets that made the original film so successful. Do the international markets really want to see the American remake?
These poster shows us the style, and feel that Matt Reeves in envisioning for the movie, which will take place in Colorado and the names of the two characters have been changed from Oskar and Eli, to Owen and Abby, who will stay the same age of 12-years-old. Then there is something I just have to point out. Reeves has said this movie will not be based on the original film, but off of the novel written by John Ajvide. Here’s the thing… the last poster says, “A remake of the award winning original, Let The Right One In.”
Check out the posters below and tell us what you think.
Why doesn't Matt Reeves go make something original instead of a bastardizing great films that require no remaking? There's no way it'll be as good as the Swedish version.
This pisses me off almost as much as the Whedon-less Buffy movie.
I think what pisses me off the most is the fact that he had to change the title. Was there a problem with the name, "Let the Right One In"? It sounded fine to me.
I think most remakes have a different title simply to help differienciate (spelling??) the movies so they don't get confused. However, the title Let Me In, shows a total lack of understanding of the vampire world and therein, the story as a whole. This title is a command, whereas a request must be made for a vampire to gain entry. If they changed it to anything, it should have been May I Come In, or a request of the like. The title alone makes me mad because it says to all true fans of both vampire movies and original movie, that they just don't get it and the movie will fall flat on it's face by anyone other than the general public who think anything that hits the american theaters is just wonderful.
