Last week we reported that the Swedish vampire film Lat den ratte komma in (Let the Right One In) won Best Feature at the Tribeca film fest. Well, this week news comes from Variety that Hammer Films and Spitfire Pictures have picked up remake rights to the film. The original follows a young boy whose first real love turns out to be a vampire. Hopefully this remake won?t be ignored by the legions of people who are bound to be disappointed by the similarly themed Twilight.
