Friday, September 3, 2010 at 9:27AM French Poster, New Clip for 'Let Me In'
We're less than a month away now from Let Me In, the near-immediate remake of the great Swedish film Let the Right One In. The film didn't do much in the US a couple years ago, faring better in Europe. So it makes sense that there's a new French one-sheet for the film featuring Chloe Moretz as the ageless teenage vampire.

When I say that the original film fared better in Europe, that's relative. The other big Swedish export, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo only made about $10 million in the US, but nearly 1,000 times that much everywhere else. Let the Right One In...didn't get past $12 million, total. So this is probably the most talked about remake based on virtually no interest in the predecessor ever. (Let's face it: $11 million is just a little over one million tickets sold worldwide.)
However, the story's fantastic and so is the film, so director Matt Reeves has plenty of stuff to work with, and a bigger studio commitment won't hurt. And who knows, maybe this film will generate more excitement about Let the Right One In, a dark masterpiece of teen angst. Here's the first clip from the film, fresh from harvest.
