"Cloverfield" Director Promises He Won't Turn His "Let The Right One In" Remake Into "Twilight" [Let The Right One In]

... According to the L.A. Times, Reeves is on the second draft of the script, which will be set in the Reagan era in Colorado. Even though Reeves swears he won't be aging the two main characters in the film to increase the appeal to a larger audience (because sexy vampires sell more tickets), I just can't seem to believe it. My biggest fear is that they're going to make this a sappy love story overwrought with crappy dialogue, when the original is so, so, so much more than that. Or worse they could throw out Eli's whole androgynous storyline entirely, which I can easily see ...

Whenever something is remade for North America, what it usually means is that a little 'sanitation' is in order. For better or for worse, audiences tend to react badly to seeing children in a decidedly non-childlike way, and that's what made The Right One so memorable. But I guess I better get used to the idea, because Reeves recently told the L.A. Times that he's been scouting locations and that a second draft of the ...
