We’ve just received this new poster for Let Me In, Matt Reeves’ upcoming Let The Right One In remake, one that looks fairly innocuous until you realize what’s really going on here…
Helluva lot more intriguing and interesting than that last one! Even if it’s still bizarre seeing that Hammer Films logo down there.
So what say you folks? According to Comic Con attendees who were shown some footage the film’s looking good, and the trailer certainly looked promising, as aggravating as the idea of trying to one-up the original film might be.
UPDATE: Overture just let us know that a new red band trailer just went up on their facebook page. It’s pretty similar to the regular trailer but has a few more shots that might spoil things for anyone new to the story. Watch at your own risk, and if you do, try and count how many times the film looks shot for shot from the original.

From the footage I sawat SDCC, THIS is the movie I will recommend to people. Not worth hassling with subtitles in the original, of course. And while the original had great voice dubbing, the mouths and words don't match up and that just makes it funny.
Looks promising? Promising to do what…better the original? If it wasn't for all of the slack jawed morons who 'caynt redz duh screyn wordz lol' this would not even exist. In the interview with the director, he couldn't manage to produce a single solid reason to remake the original film..other than his own paycheck, of course. If you think average people will seek out the original after watching this, you are seriously deluded.
I didn't care for Let the Right One In. I don't know if it was the pacing or what… it just didn't engage me. For that reason, I'm curious to see if I enjoy Let Me In more. We'll see.
Hey, I didn't know this was period movie!
Bit of an eye-roll but I'm not totally against a remake. Although I really don't like the title change. Weirdly American to make things short and imperative. It's just kind of childish. Let me in! Fucker! (2nd try)
This flick can win a million oscars but it's still pointless as fuck. Some other country made a really great film, so now an american studio wants their spotlight back. That's the motivation behind all remakes of foreign films. Hollywood can't accept that other film industries exist.
In America, the book was originally released with the "Let Me In" title…
Another trailer that gives away key moments in the movie. Good job, morons…
at least when americans remake a movie they do a decent one, when other countries do it, they remake Charlie's Angels. I also didn't know hammer films was american so what do I know. I don't get why people care this much about remakes anyways, I liked the original alot and this one looks good enough on it's own. At least they didn't give a cop out reason like the people doing "old boy" did by saying the were just doing another adaption of the source material, which would have been easy "We're adapting the american version of the book with the "let me in" title.
