Let the Right On In is without a doubt the best vampire movie I've ever seen. It should be available on Netflix's instant watch feature. It's truly the anti-Twilight.
I also had no idea that there was going to be a remake. I have a feeling all of the subtlety is going to be stripped out, and replaced with Twilight pre-teen B.S. in order to attract vapid teenage girls. Ugh.
But, many foreign films don't have a good production value, and I think that american remakes are good for that.

The article states that Elias Koteas is playing the part of a police officer. If you've read the book, you might expext the "Tommy" sub-plot to be included.
I fucking loved the original and know that nothing will ever replace it. That being said, I'm keeping an open mind for the re-adaptation. Let's not damn the thing before giving it a watch.
And I don't agree with the idea that someone not liking subtitles would be based on the intelligence. I actually enjoy reading, but I read books for such occasions. When I'm actually watching something I want to be able to watch it instead of just looking at the bottom of the screen. But even so, I've seen a lot of subtitled movies and enjoyed many of them and thought the subs weren't so bad. But I still submit that at least one thing that would make any of those movies I saw better would be a good solid dub. And in that spirit dubs are far better than just a complete remake of something that you guys claim to be good. I'll have to watch this one though.
I don't have very high hopes for the remake, does anyone know what else the director has done? It's not going to be the same movie, but maybe it will be good for different reasons. As long as they don't turn it into Twilight (oh please god) I'll at least see it in theaters.
It's the director of Cloverfield. Again though, this isn't a straight remake, it's a re-adaptation of the book that the other movie is based on which didn't use certain elements and changed others (like the ending).
@GuitarAtomik, that's pretty cool news. Hated Cloverfeild though. While we're talking about movies, anybody who liked Paranormal Activity should be shot.
Agreed about Paranormal Activity. Jesus.
