News just in via Production Weekly that Cloverfield director Matt Reeves is gearing up to begin filming the American remake of Let The Right One In! The original Swedish film from Tomas Alfredson about ‘Oscar, an overlooked and bullied boy who finds love and revenge through Eli, a beautiful but peculiar girl who turns out to be a vampire’ received critical acclaim and even recognition at the Golden Globes. Quite a rarity for a vampire story that was also well received by many genre fans. The true indicator of greatness though, is that the Swedish film, Let The Right One In also made FEARnet's Top 8 of '08 movies list. Of note is that PW references the remake as ‘Let Me In’
Production on the American remake of Let the Right One In will begin in May.
