Principal photography of
Let Me In, a remake of the Swedish masterpiece
Let the Right One In (
review),
has begun in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Obviously, writer/director Matt
Reeves is looking to “reimage” the film to give it a unique identity
and place it in an American context. Hmmmm…I’m not sure taking it out
of its isolated and snowy setting of the original and placing it in a
frickin’ scorching desert of New Mexico is really an improvement, but
we’ll just have to see how it turns out (though all I really want to do
is throw up my hands in disgust and ask “WHY?”).
