LET ME IN
"LET ME IN" Begins Production
Principal photography began on "LET ME IN", writer/director Matt Reeves' adaptation of "LET THE RIGHT ONE IN", in Albuquerque, New Mexico.Reeves ("CLOVERFIELD") and young stars Kodi Smit-McPhee ("THE ROAD") and Chloe Moretz ("(500) DAYS OF SUMMER") were among those on-set as filming commenced on the Hammer Films production at Albuquerque Studios.
Filming will also take place in various other locations in New Mexico before returning to Albuquerque to wrap in January.
In the haunting and provocative "LET ME IN", an alienated 12-year-old boy (Smit-McPhee) befriends a mysterious young newcomer (Moretz) in his small New Mexico town and discovers an unconventional path to adulthood.
Updates to the cast list include Elias Koteas ("SHUTTER ISLAND") as the policeman, Cara Buono ("THE SOPRANOS") as Owen's mother and Sasha Barrese ("THE HANGOVER") as “Virginia.” It was previously announced that Oscar®-nominee Richard Jenkins ("THE VISITOR") would play the guardian of “Abby”.
The film is based on the bestselling vampire novel, Lat den Ratte Komma In, by Swedish author John Ajvide Lindqvist, and is an English-language remake of the highly acclaimed Swedish film of the same name.
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.
Synopsis : Chloe Moretz (Hit Girl from Kick-Ass) stars as Abby, a secretive 12-year old girl, who moves next door to Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee, The Road). Owen is a social outcast who is viciously bullied at school and in his loneliness, forms a profound bond with his new neighbour. Owen can’t help noticing that Abby is like no one he has ever met before. As a string of grisly murders occupy the town, Owen has to confront the reality that this seemingly innocent girl is really a savage vampire.
Let Me In, a haunting and provocative thriller written and directed by filmmaker Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) and produced by legendary British horror brand Hammer Films, is an astonishing coming-of-age story between a young girl and an alienated young boy unlike any other you have seen. Based on the best-selling Swedish novel Lat den Ratte Komma (Let The Right One In) by John Ajvide Lindqvist, and the highly-acclaimed film of the same name, Let Me In takes audiences straight to the troubled heart of adolescent longing and loneliness.
