"Let The Right One In" remake cast

[broganreynik]

Overture Films has announced the cast for the remake of last year’s hit Swedish horror flick Let the Right One In. The Americanized version, titled Let Me In, is under the direction of Cloverfield director Matt Reeves.

The already leaked lead actor is Kodi Smit-McPhee, who is playing the character Owen (Oscar in the original). Chloe Moretz has been cast as Abby (formerly Eli). The story revolves around the two preteen kids as he discovers his new neighbor and best friend is really a vampire.
Oscar-nominee Richard Jenkins is playing the girl’s guardian, a role originally named Hakan. He’s a great actor, so I’m glad he’s getting more high-profile parts.

I absolutely loved the Swedish version and it wound up being in my top 10 of 2008. If you haven’t seen it, throw it on your Netflix queue and check it out.
In the meantime, production on the remake starts in New Mexico this November.

I was kinda skeptical about a remake, but I'll see anything with Richard Jenkins, so I'm actually kind of excited about it now. Smit-McPhee is in the upcoming film "The Road" with Viggo Mortensen, which I'm really looking forward to as well. Moretz was in 500 Days of Summer.
