Troubling News...

Pork Chop Express here, checking in from a road stop in Idaho, USA.

I just saw over at aintitcool.com that we should expect an American remake of the brilliant film, Let the Right One In for 2010. Here's what they said about it:

Out of all the remakes (and there are plenty) slated for 2010 this one, by Cloverfield’s Matt Reeves, has the highest mountain to climb. LET THE RIGHT ONE IN is a masterpiece. There’s no other word for that film. Lyrical, innocent, violent and with masterful filmmaking from Tomas Alfredson, the original, just released a year and some change ago, is going to be hard to top. Thankfully Reeves hasn’t cast teenagers and turned this into another Twilight cash-in… Hit Girl herself, Chloe Moretz, will play the vampire and The Road’s Kodi Smit-McPhee will play the boy. Reeves has a tough, tough job on his hands, with little chance of success in my personal opinion. But if he pulls it off it’ll be brilliant. It has to be or it’s going to fail.

This is highly disturbing to me since I absolutely loved Let the Right One In--so much so that I bought the book (which is excellent by the way).
