Sticking with the time-honored adage “a movie isn’t good until it’s been made in the English language”, Overture Films has signed a deal to remake the Swedish vampire film Let the Right One In. The news hit Variety this morning, and personally I think the one thing that’s looking up about this project is that Overture has signed Cloverfield director Matt Reeves to helm the film. Let the Right One In, whose original version just did the rounds at the Toronto International Film Festival, centers on a young boy who befriends a new female neighbor – a female neighbor that may or may not be a vampire.
I really enjoyed Cloverfield, and it’ll be fun to see what Reeves does with another horror epic. As of now the remake is slated for release sometime next year. Stay tuned, FEARfolks. In the meantime, check out our own Scott Weinberg's review of the original Let the Right One In from Fantastic Fest.
