Smit-McPhee, Moretz And Jenkins Will LET You IN

The remake of Let The Right One In has finally found its cast. I’m having a hard time blogging this, but I need to move past the fact that Cloverfield director Matt Reeves is going to ruin one of my favorite movies last year, so I should just take it like a man. According to Heatvision, it’s been confirmed that Kodi Smit-McPhee, who we can see in The Road this fall, will be playing Owen (Oskar in the original film) and Chloe Moretz, the chatty little sister in 500 Days of Summer and can be seen in the upcoming Kick-Ass, will be playing Abby (Eli in the original film) and Richard Jenkins has also joined the cast as the father/caretaker (Hakan in the original film). Phillip Seymour Hoffman was previously rumored for the role but that turned out to be not true.

The story is about Owen, an overlooked and bullied boy, finds love and revenge through Abby, a beautiful but peculiar girl who turns out to be a vampire.
Th remake is titled LET ME IN, it will start shooting this fall in New Mexico, although it’s initially set in Colorado, and it’s scheduled to open in theaters on January 15th, 2010, that release month should give you an idea of the quality of this movie.
