i don't think psh is above doing a smaller part in a movie he believes in. that's all he used to do.

theplaylist has reported it as fake news, though.

I'm so torn on remakes recently. I know they're terrible but some of them sound interesting to me! David Cronenberg remaking The Fly (again)! How can that not at least pique my curiosity? David Gordon Green (MAYBE) doing Susprira (MAYBE) with Natalie Portman! And this one, the original was perfect! But maybe we could make it more perfect by not having to find the blu-ray with English theatrical subtitles because there ARE no subtitles.  (Also: I contacted Magnet and the Blu-ray with theatrical subtitles does not exist. Only the DVD. There is no release plan for a corrected Blu-ray at this time :( )
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

Wow. I can't believe I forgot about one of the main roles, that of Eli's caretaker, the guy who gets her her blood. If that's who Phil Hoffman is being rumored as, then, best. casting. ever.

Really?

How could they possibly replace Jonathan Lipnicki?!

And, honestly, I think the title would be a little misleading, cause I don't think vampires can get any smaller than this.
Already, this has a lot to live up to.
We often went to the cinema, the screen would light up and we would tremble, but also, increasingly often, Madeleine and I were disappointed. The images had dated, they jittered, and Marilyn Monroe had gotten terribly old. We were sad, this wasn't the film we had dreamed of, this wasn't the total film that we all carried around inside us, this film that we would have wanted to make, or, more secretly, no doubt, that we would have wanted to live.

Overture Films has issued a press release confirming the official cast members of Matt Reeves Let Me In, the remake of Tomas Alfredson's beloved Let The Right One In. (That Fish Head title seriously has to be just a shooting title)

Kodi Smit-McPhee, Chloe Moretz and OscarĀ®-nominee Richard Jenkins (The Kingdom) will headline the cast of Let Me In, when principal photography begins this fall in New Mexico. The announcement was made today by Hammer Films Co-CEO's Simon Oakes and Nigel Sinclair, as well as Overture Films CEO Chris McGurk and COO Danny Rosett.

Director Reeves (Cloverfield) has cast Smit-McPhee (The Road) and Moretz ((500) Days of Summer) in the two lead adolescent roles of Owen and Abby for the eagerly awaited horror feature. Jenkins will play the lead adult character known as Hakan in the original film.

Based on the bestselling Swedish novel, Lat den Ratte Komma In, by Swedish author John Ajvide Lindqvist, Let Me In is a contemporary vampire tale about a young boy who befriends a girl new to his neighborhood.

I'm okay with that casting but wasn't the little boy from The Road that is cast in this a handful? I remember there being issues with him.

Here we go... Overture Films and Hammer Films announced cameras are officially rolling on Let Me In, an American remake of Tomas Alfredson's Swedish vampire film Let the Right One In and a new take on the novel "Lat den Ratte Komma In," by Swedish author John Ajvide Lindqvist,

Writer-director Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) is lensing in New Mexico with young stars Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Road) and Chloe Moretz ((500) Days of Summer) were among those on-set as filming commenced at Albuquerque Studios.

McPhee will play the alienated 12-year-old boy who befriends a mysterious young newcomer (*cough* vampire *cough*), played by Moretz, in his small New Mexico town and discovers an "unconventional path to adulthood."

The filmmakers note that while the new film will pay respect to the original Swedish version, they intend to forge a unique identity for Let Me In, placing it firmly in an American context.

"This project is very personal to Matt as it is to the many passionate fans of the original story," says Simon Oakes, President and CEO of Hammer Films. "The brilliance of that story deserves to be seen by audiences on a wide scale and we are excited that the pieces are in place to make that a reality."

Elias Koteas, Cara Buono, Sasha Barrese, Richard Jenkins also star.
