“make the girl Vamp 100% girl and give Oskar the opportunity to be a Vamp or not.”

sorry buts that just RANDOM. In the original original (the book) she is even less a girl than in the movie. Whats the advantage of “making the girl a girl”? One shouldn’t change it as well as one shouldn’t give the boy a short haircut.
And “give Oskar the opportunity to be a Vamp or not.”?? That movie isn’t freaking Twillight!

I say if the remake gonna be done they should keep the girl actress and make the girl Vamp 100% girl and give Oskar the opportunity to be a Vamp or not.

whether the remake sucks or not as long as they keep the same soundtrack and girl it may have a chance.

do you Read what I’m typing Mr. Reeves Keep the same girl and make her 100% female.

LTROI is an amazing movie. It doesn’t need a remake — it needs some better publicity. The movie is beautiful, compelling, sincerely sad, and utterly frightening.

I can almost not believe this. Abrams wants to remake a year old movie? Why?

I am angry. I can’t believe the lack of respect and integrity J.J. Abrams and Matt Reeves have for the rest of the film industry. I hope JJ and Matt lose every cent on this bull$#!t. I will not be seeing this remake.

I’m disgusted! My respect for the american film industry is getting smaller (right word?) by the day.

i liked “let the right one in” quite a bit.
it’s unlikely that matt reeves will make anything as good. c’mon, reeves’ credits are “cloverfield” “the pallbearer” and the tv show “felicity”. i’ll confess i actually liked “felicity” for a season or two, but the guy doesn’t exactly have a quality pedigree, y’know?
but that’s how things go, no point in bitching about it. nobody will be forced at gunpoint to see the remake and if it’s a piece of crap (as i suspect it will be) then the original will remain the definitive version of the story.

Just got home from seeing “Let The Right One In” and absolutely loved it. I could care less about an American remake though where, of course, it’ll be stripped of everything that makes the original so beautiful, sad, tragic, heartbreaking and poignant. Just watch. (But PLEASE see the original.)

At least from this tralier I just saw this movie does not look as good as I heard on the news.

I ain’t too sure I will bother watching this movie after all.

These kids don’t look so scary.

I saw this video at the Vancouver Film Fest just yesterday. I found it to be very interesting, and very well shot. The clips shown in this trailer don’t even show the best scenes. I recommend this movie.

Saw the original and it is fan-freaking-tastic. There are a few lulls and one ridiculous bit with CGI cats. Overall, though, it’s gorgeous and creepy as hell, even, dare I say, realistic (as in, if vampires were real they’d probably have the pathetic life of the central vampire character). Amazing acting, too. Not looking forward to the remake.

You’re not supposed to care about the creatures, but the humans! I like From Dusk Till Dawn and the Blade movies, but I admit I can’t say it’s because I like the characters involved, but rather the awesome action and humor stuff.

A vampire movie doesn’t have anything on it’s shoulders though. If it is a good action movie, then it is a good action movie. I like good action movies.
