Let Me In
Opens: 2010
Cast: Kodi Smit-McPhee, Chloe Moretz, Richard Jenkins, Elias Koteas, Cara Buono
Director: Matt ReevesSummary: An English-language remake of Tomas Alfredson's 2008 Swedish film "Let the Right One In". An alienated 12-year-old boy befriends a mysterious young newcomer in his small New Mexico town and discovers an unconventional path to adulthood.
Analysis: The quality doesn't matter because as of this moment, no other film in 2010 is being pushed in front of a firing squad quicker by geeks than this unnecessary Hollywood adaptation of John Ajvide Lindqvist's novel. Why? Because Alfredson's critically acclaimed Swedish-language film adaptation has already become a cult sensation throughout much of the world.
A lot of the mainstream audiences still haven't caught on though to that original gem, and with the "Twilight" craze in full swing, it's no surprise Overture Films is rushing forward with their more commercial take on this unique vampire story. "Cloverfield" director Matt Reeves, who is helming this, is well aware of the pressure he's under but hopes people will give the project a chance.
To that extent, there's already hints at some big departures from the first film with this one using more elements from the novel, including the early 80's setting, that Alfredson chose to cut. While the author is open to the project, Alfredson isn't and already delivered the pointed quote - "If one should remake a film, it's because the original is bad. And I don't think mine is." Filming is underway in New Mexico and wraps next month with a late 2010 release planned.
Kurze Zusammenfassung:
Nach dem Erfolg von "Let the right one in" wird Hollywood ein "mainstreamtaugliches" Remake namens "Let me in" produzieren.
Mir ist jetzt schon schlecht....
