Let the Right One In American Movie News

Okay about two weeks ago I was told that there'd be an American movie made of the AMAZING SUPER FRIGGIN' AWESOME BEST VAMPIRE MOVIE EVER Let the Right One In. :D

Well, there are some news. Some new news hehe :D

Reeves signed on to adapt and direct an American remake of the cult hit, now called "Let Me In," the English translation of John Ajvide Lindqvist's original novel. He recently finished a second draft of the script, currently set in Reagan-era Colorado, and is scouting locations, looking to maintain the original story's chilly, snow-swept environs. The film is scheduled for a fall 2010 theatrical release.

Reeves is also working with casting director Avy Kaufman -- who previously found kids for "The Sixth Sense" and "The Ice Storm" -- to find the two leads, which Reeves vows will not be aged-up to make the film more of a smoldering "Twilight"-style romance.

"There's definitely people who have a real bull's-eye on the film," Reeves said, "and 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, my feeling about it is if I didn't feel a personal connection and feel it could be its own film, I wouldn't be doing it. I hope people give us a chance."

I'm definitely giving him a chance even though I wasn't a big fan of Cloverfield. I am excited! Mostly because I LOOOOOVED the Swedish version. We'll see how this one turns out. :D Honestly I'm REALLY glad they're not going to take advantage of the whole Twilight craze. No offense folks but I'm not a big fan of those movies. I like the books because they're cute but..yeah the movie and the upcoming one..um no sorry.

Have you seen Let the Right One In? (If no, why not!?) What do you think about this? Happy/sad it's not going to be like Twilight? Curious as to who will be cast as the two 12 yr olds? I sure am :)
