Matt Reeves Helming Vampire Remake
We Are Movie Geeks —
The Swedish, vampire flick ‘Let the Right One In’ has been tearing up the festival scene the past couple of months. Naturally, Hollywood is gonna grab it and shoot out their own version.
Overture Films and Hammer Films has hired writer/director Matt Reeves (’Cloverfield’) to write the screenplay and direct the remake. The original film is an adaptation of a novel by John Ajvide Lindqvist about a young boy’s relationship with a 200-year-old vampire.
Hammer Films acquired the rights to the film at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival, where the original won Best Narrative Feature.

Hey, everyone. “Moriarty” here. Y’know, I liked CLOVERFIELD. I’ve actually given copies of the film as a gift. I think Matt Reeves is a promising filmmaker, and I’m curious to see what sort of genre fare he’s responsible for in the next few years. But I’ll be goddamned if I’m going to put on a smile and pretend like I’m excited about anyone remaking LET THE RIGHT ONE IN.
