Let the Right One In Remake is Now Let Me In
Horror Movie News, Let Me In (Let the Right One In Remake, 2010) Movie — By Nix on March 4, 2009
In case you haven’t heard, Tomas Alfredson’s tale of creepy child vampires is getting an American remake by non other than the Bad Robot boys, J.J. Abrams and his “Cloverfield” director, Matt Reeves. As the film gears up to shoot, the title has been changed from “Let the Right One In” to “Let Me In”, because, well, it’s two letters shorter, ain’t it?
The news comes from Bloody-Disgusting, which quotes Production Weekly:
Production Weekly reports that filming is scheduled to begins this May for the film that follows Oscar, an overlooked and bullied boy, finds love and revenge through Eli, a beautiful but peculiar girl who turns out to be a vampire.
I know she’s a little older now, but Dakota Fanning as the child vampire would fit like a glove. Either her, or one of the Olsen Twins. You can’t get any creepier than those two choices right there, folks.
Get your feel of child vampires, bullies, and possibly lots of blood in the snow (as in the original) come 2010, when Overture releases the movie.
Below: It starts with hugging the wall buck nekkid, and before you know it, you’re befriending the vampire chick next door.

arrrggggghhhh… its so awful how the american culture always has to manipulate and cut good ideas, so it fits to their audience. thats not a racist talk but i think its senseless and dangerous to negate other cultures. and thats what they do most of the time. another example : steven spielberg wants to do a remake of oldboy with will smith as main character?_:-/ its so ridiculous
I’m Swedish and I’m honestly PISSED OFF! How the hell can they do this?! This is our pride this is our movie, it’s so sick americans just can’t be happy getting a blowjob from my government, they also need to remake every non-american good movie. It’s like the movie “rec”. The original was very, very good, the american remake made me puke.
I’m just fifteen (tomorrow sixteen) years old but I can see how the americans are truly taking over the entire world, but still… rather you guys then China.
And I swear, I will join al-quaida if Dakota Flanning is playing Eli. I will truly join al-quaida if she (or one of the Olson-twins) plays Eli.
I’m so mad right now and I cannot do anything about this, and I cannot understand WHY THE F**K they need a remake! Yeah, yeah… I’m gonna stop cry now so the fat-ass, american director can it his big fat american apple.
Alex.
I agree with you and I’m american, ha ha. Fortunately I have the movie on netflix and I heard some things about the subtitles being off but fortunately they are not off. Interview with the Vampire used to be my favorite movie until I saw this. Wow is all I can say.
Peace out.
Hey I am American, but I totally agree with you. I loved the original movie and because I liked it so much right now I am reading the book. Lundqvist is such an incredible writer. I feel like I am going to puke by the americanization of movie. Oskar has been turned into Owen and Eli- Abby. As we say in the US…this sucks.
This girl (Angela Steele)

is in the loop for the part and would be fantastic. She is 2 years older now.
I say keep the same girl from original film.
I say give it a chance, the original movie left me wanting more and yes it is the best film I’ve ever seen.But were not all blind we know what we want from the film and I’m sure the director knows as well so I say give it a try then decide what is good about it and not.
Futher more what I meant about what we want and don’t want is that I hope Eli is 100% female without a doubt in this film.And that Oskar is atleast given the choice as to wether or not he would like to become a Vampier.
If you disagree please let me know.
I agree with you. Kare should potray Oskar, so as Lina should also play Eli. There is no one who portray these characters who are so believable.
I am very much looking forward to the American version. I really enjoyed the Swedish version. However the author of the book Linqvist has expressed his excitement for the American version. This is not a remake of the Swedish film. Matt already had this movie in mind before the Swedish film came out. I hope every country makes this movie in their native tongue. The dubs are no fun. Please no Dakota Fanning, you need a dark and mysterious girl with wide eyes and younger than Dakota. I think with the American version you will see more of the original story. Kare did such a fantasic job as the boy but was too skinny. There was a reason they called him piggy but in our cultures fat people dont get as much sympathy.
I’m really looking forward to the re-make too. Sure, it has massive potential to be dissapointing but there will always be the original reguardless. As for the american movie industry remaking the movie (especially so soon), yes its a tad bit insulting, i believe, but i dont know about it taking anything from the swedish version. The same could be said about the original taking something from the book, right? …And if everyone thought that way then we wouldnt have this great film. Plus, some of the greatests compliments came in the form of immitation, right?
…just my thoughts. Anywho, I thought the original was amazing! I cant stop watching the damn thing!
OMFG! I LOVE LET THE RIGHT ONE IN I WATCHED IT 3 TIMES AND ID WATCH IT 1000 TIMES MORE. IIT GOING BE BE MADE IN ENGLISH????!!! I LOVE THE MOVIE AND BOOK!!!!OMFG!
OMFG! I loved the movie “Let The its one of my favs. I watched it 3 times and i could watch it over 100 times more (NOT KIDDING!(READ THE BOOK 2!!^ ^)) I cant wait for it to come out but i dont think the American Version will be as good as the original one.
