Let the Right One In - endurgerð fyrir bandaríkjamarkað

Last year, I had the chance to see a film that was almost universally well-liked by anyone who laid eyes on it. Especially during a year where the hype for another certain vampire film was building to a fever-pitch, Tomas Alfredson’s Let the Right One In turned the genre on its head a bit, and delved into an incredibly moving story about growing up and falling in love. With a perpetually 12-year old girl who rips out people’s throats for nourishment.

Of course it was inevitable that someone from the U.S. snatch it up for a remake, and we found out late last year that the lucky winner would be Matt Reeves – the director of Cloverfield

The LA Times actually got a chance to speak with the director about the project – which is now called Let Me In and seems to be coming along smoothly – and found out that the script has the story set in Colorado, where location scouts are digging around as we speak.

The money quote:

[Reeves] 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.
