The Comic-Con gift-giving continues!
With a new update from sunny San Diego damn near every hour, it’s hard to keep track of all the cool shite being unveiled at this year’s biggest nerd-convention (sorry if that was harsh, maybe it’s jealousy of not being there speaking). One thing we have pinned down, however, is a cool looking new promo poster for Matt Reeves’ LET ME IN. You know where to find the bastard don’t ya?!?
What I tend to like about this new look is…surprise…that it actually DOES NOT resemble art from the original (just as every other one-sheet, still and trailer does). I like the separate identity the new look offers, instead of continuing to mirror a needless shot for shot remake. Who the hell wants that?
In theaters October 1st, LET ME IN stars as Abby, a secretive 12-year old girl, who moves next door to Owen. Owen is a social outcast who is viciously bullied at school and in his loneliness, forms a profound bond with his new neighbor. 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.
Chloe Moretz, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Richard Jenkins, Elias Koteas, Cara Buono, Sasha Barrese, Chris Browning, Seth Adkins and Dylan Minnette all assume a role in the feature.
