since I hate thread de-railings, wanted to ask you guys

any interest in the American remake of Let The Right One In? Im pretty fucking excited. Unfortunately, the director of the remake said the film is intended to be for a "much broader audience" which means he may as well have just said "we are going to totally fucking ruin it"

"we are going to totally fucking ruin it"

Is this not the definition of a modern remake?

I believe there was a thread in the Movies section about this back when it was announced where TDigs, JMT and myself all shat on this remake idea in every way. I like the director, but he clearly does not seem to grasp the concept of the film and seems deadset on turning it into some braindead blockbuster horror film.

Yea, I saw it listed as a horror movie, and was immeadiately concerned. "WHAT THE FUCK THAT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE A HORROR MOVIE"

Yea, i thought I remembered a thread on it, but the day draws neigh, and I wanted to see if any opinions have changed

It looks shit...I saw some frames of two adults getting it on in the trailer...adding sex to this thing already ruins it in my book.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Its supposed to be about the kidz though

Yea, your right. I wish I didnt know about the original

 

[justinsayne]

Meh, it won't be near as good as the original but I'm still likely gonna see it

 

[jmt225]

I won't go to the theater to see it, but I'm sure I'll check it out eventually.

I've only watched the tv spots at this point, and those made it look pretty faithful to the original, which could be a great thing, or may hurt the film deeply. I don't know... but I'm definitely looking forward to see what kind of reviews the film gets.

A remake of that Swedish film based on a book? Whaaaaaaaa-? How DARE America ruin this for me!

 

[Razor]

I have faith. But I'm fully expecting to come on here the day after I see it crying about how the original was much better, and how Hollywood is ruining my enjoyment of cinema.
