    "Let the Right One In" American remake

    By Cloverfield's Matt Reeves, no less!

    Quicker than you think. They announced this last month, before the movie even opened anywhere.

    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    They should start doing preemptive remakes.

    Yes, studios should nab distribution rights and then announce a remake at the same time, that way they can prevent the original to be released until the remake hits DVD.

    They could say they are "Heroizing" the movie.

    Perhaps the original could be released as a special feature on the DVD for the remake.

    Now you're thinking like an Ell-Angelite.

    I have a feeling this has already been done.

    I wouldn't know about the US, but in Argentina, the Ringu remake was released several months before the original.

    I don't think it's necessary, at all, but Reeves ain't bad.
