The first international trailer for the remake of Let the Right One in titled Let Me In starring Chloe Moretz (Kick-Ass) and Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Road) has been released by Deadline. The tone is a bit different than the original one, especially Chloe Moretz‘s character. But we don’t want a plain remake, do we? So far, it looks so good.
Watch the first international trailer for Matt Reeves‘ Let Me In:
Let Me In, tells a terrifying tale about an alienated 12-year old boy named Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee) who is viciously bullied by his classmates and neglected by his divorcing parents. Achingly lonely, Owen spends his days plotting revenge on his middle school tormentors and his evenings spying on the other inhabitants of his apartment complex. His only friend is his new neighbor Abby (Chloe Moretz), an eerily self-possessed young girl who lives next door with her silent father (Oscar® nominee Richard Jenkins). A frail, troubled child about Owens’s age, Abby emerges from her heavily curtained apartment only at night and always barefoot, seemingly immune to the bitter winter elements. Recognizing a fellow outcast, Owen opens up to her and before long, the two have formed a unique bond.
Let Me In is both written and directed by American filmmaker Matt Reeves, who’s feature directorial debut was J.J. Abrams’ Cloverfield but prior to that he directed episodes of “Felicity” and various other TV shows. This is a remake of Tomas Alfredson‘s 2008 filmLet the Right One In, or more specifically a re-adaptation of the Swedish novel Låt den rätte komma in written by John Ajvide Lindqvist. Overture Films is bringing Let Me In to theaters everywhere starting October 1st this fall. Does it look as good as you were hoping?
