It could be good, and in fact it appears they're going in the right direction, but there's absolutely no reason for this to be made besides making money and causing more people to see the original...which would actually be nice.

You realize it's another, supposedly more true to the book, adaptation of the book and not a remake of Let The Right One In, right? I have faith that this will be pretty good.

But the writer of the book wrote the screenplay for the scandinavian movie...

I actualy want this movie to be good. Unlike other people who see no point in a remake, I say why the heck not.

Looks all fine and dandy, but I still feel like I'd rather watch Alfredson's film. Reeves has incredibly large shoes to fill. I also prefer Eli's name and to have dirt in her fingernails. They look too clean in the latter poster.

The name change from Oskar to Owen seem stupid. Why not just call him Oscar? is it that hard to change a letter? And Abby takes away from the character by being more feminine.


Everything else makes sense and should be perfect.

Top picture looks washed out and boring.

Second picture looks japanese and boring.

The ad looks fantastic.

Last picture looks completely flat on the left and childishly obvious on the right.

Here's the deal, I'm one of those people who's still sitting through this film. I might even like it, but that doesn't take away from how much of a masterpiece "Let the Right One In" is. I don't understand the artistic or cinematic purpose for making it. Maybe Reeves likes to challenge himself. After all, Herzog made a damn fine Nosferatu remake. I'm not sure.

...I just really hate the title "Let Me In".

The single purpose is making cash and Herzog made Nosferatu (amazing movie!!!) not just 2 years after the original, but 57 years later, so it´s not really a comparable situation. I´m with you on the title.

The biggest thing that bothered me too was the title.. Let Me In. It shows a total lack of understanding as that statement is a demand instead of a request. It should have been, May I Come In, if nothing else. It automatically makes me lose all hope of this film being any good.

I think the most interesting thing about it is that it's set in Regan-era America. That intrigues me a lot. Such an interesting time, and to see it through the eyes of kids is pretty cool. Well, a kid and a eunuch vampire.

I can imagine most of my friends saying, "That's what he said" every time I'll mention this movie.

I'm going to give it a chance, I'm a fan of the book and there was enough there to lend another take. It seems like they are going at it with the best of intentions so far

Considering it's an adaptation of the book rather than the Swedish film is satisfying, since I've read that there were a few things left out of the Swedish film. That way they could make this film somewhat different, though it's hard to imagine this one being better than Swedish in anyway.

But the swedish films script was made by the author of the book. Could there be anyone more true to the soul and meaning of the book than that?

Definitely gonna give it a go and hope it's a good one. Loved the original.

I don't believe this 'not based on the Alfredson film but on the original book' nonsense. The same was said about the Soderbergh version of Solaris before it came out, but there were clear scenes and visual motifs that were ripped off Tarkofsky that weren't in the original book. I bet this will be the same. It's just a Hollywood ruse to get you to see the film. Also, the drama school level acting in Cloverfield makes me nervous about Reeves' ability to successfully adapt such an intimate piece without resorting to some sort of gimmicky special effects.

last poster aint bad.

I liked the original. I don't know what this remake will bring to the big screens.

The posters seem interesting, but if I didn't know the movie the top poster would be too ambiguous and boring. I'd probably walk right by it, thinking "ah, a movie about Hansel and Gretel." Needs a bit more blood. The last one is the best one.

I do miss the blonde hair and Oskar/Owen whatever. It added a bit of a contrast.

People, avoid this film at all costs. Go watch the Swedish original - Let The Right One In!

I hear ya.

Not feeling much of what this movie could offer yet. Not hating those posters, but not liking them much also.

I don't really think 'From The Director of Cloverfield' helps with the marketing.
I liked Cloverfield, and I loved LTROI, yet I think the type of poster puts off most Cloverfield fans, and the Cloverfield reference puts off all people originaly intrigued by the poster.
ARGHHH!
Paradox!

OMG! I didint know Hammer was producing it :D Now I feel a little more confident that Reeves' is not going to screw it too badly.

Lame, cliched, and contrived.

I love these posters. If the final ones turn out as good as these, I will be happy.

First two look actually good, the last one is just embarrassing.

I just don't understand why a studio can't embrace the original and push that... because its in a different language? Uh oh, better remake Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon too then... oh wait, no they actually promoted and distributed that one.

Anyone know if there is any update on the subtitles on the Let The Right One In dvd/bluray?

There's no new info on Amazon and I can't find any news anywhere on the interwebs. I'm dying to see it but still holding off becauase of the subs.

Watch it on Netflix streaming! Those are the original European subtitles.

Not sure if its out but the new version will have ENG(theater) as an option in the subtitles. I have to think with all the stink people put up that it will be advertised as the theatrical subtitle version.

Don't care; won't be seeing it

Owen and Abbey? What was wrong with Eli? I can understand they want to change Oskar wich is a very swedish name, but Eli is quite universal and would give the vampire that special aura of mystique that made it so great both in the novel and the film. I think it´s a really bad idea to change her name to Abbey.

Like the poster with the two children holding hands, but they look more like 8 or 9 year old than 12. The other posters look bad.

I love the first poster and the last poster, you would have to see the original to understand what's going on. Great :)

I'm glad to hear that the producers are taking a different path than of Twilight.

the two lead performances in the original version are for the record books - both oscar-worthy; ditto for the score, direction, cinematography & screenplay. it seems pointless to make what will surely be a fine, but inferior, remake.

the author/screenwriter has some other stories in the works; better to run with something fresh.

This is absurd. The original was so great. It's not even a dialogue-heavy movie. I just think that if you're too lazy to read the sub-titled version maybe you don't deserve to see a movie this good.

Why should I ever watch this movie when I have seen the brilliant original? I really don't see the point in remakes of foreign movies. Especially if they are done 1 or 2 years after the original.

Well as far as poster concepts go all of them look much better than anything I would have expected. While a little obvious, there is a simplicity to them all and a nice eerie mood I appreciate, though the kids look like they're 8 or 9 in that first one. Ahh well just models...

The name changes kind of seemed inevitable but sure silly. I suppose changing Eli to Abbey means they won't be further exploring some of the things Lindqvist left out of his adaptation.

D: I'm just....horribly crushed at the name change....I mean....at least keep Eli....Abby? Really? That's...terrible, lols.

Other than that, well....yeah, I'll watch it and pray it's good.

if he's adapting the book i'm totally hoping for the ridiculous raging unstoppable zombie/vampire pedophile to be included haha.

I can't believe they are remaking this. The swedish one was actually really good and really awesome.

Abby? Owen? Can you say Americanized? Yeah, not sure why they're making this or why they gave it to someone who's biggest achievement was Cloverfield. As far as the name change, Let Me In was the original translated title of the American book, I have to assume they want to have a different title from the original movie since its so popular.
Depending on who is writing the screenplay, I have very low expectations for this film. I also agree with whoever said that Abby makes it too feminine. Part of Eli's mystique was the sexual amgibuity.

If you liked the movie keep your eyes out for the new dvd with the original subtitles. Its either out or coming out before the end of the month and will have ENG(Theater) in the subtitle options.

ha Matt Reeves is gunna fail so bad, Let the Right One In has no reason, absolutely, no reason to be re-made. Remaking just because its a Swedish film?
Jesus, I hate this country.
