If I recall, didn't the original movie stay away from the pedo-subplot also? I think it may have a soundtrack, but Reeves has proven he can do an effective movie without it (Cloverfield).
Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do with it.
Man, Let the Right One In is such a great film, this new one has a steep hill to climb.
Wasn't this movie supposed to take place in Colorado during the 80s? What happened to that settin? I thought that was better and similar to the snow location of the original. Why film it in the desest? Or are they just using NM as a filming backdrop for Colorado?
Northern New Mexico has the southern end of the Rockies.
The original takes place outside of Stockholm, Sweden (the film and the book). Reeves is changing the characters and setting to a US environment.
Warcry you are right about the original not making full use of the peodofile subplot but they did use subtle hints of it. I don't expect that in the US remake and I like Reeves. I hope he does it justice but I just didn't think the movie needed to be "Americanized." Every other country accepts watching our flicks but we have to for some reason go and redo theirs.
I think the environment played an important role in the original. The town they lived was pretty isolated and small. I guess they can do the same with New Mexico, although the snowy weather really worked for Let the right one in.
Let The Right One In was great but of course the masses can't read subtitles because thus we get this.

Personally, I don't think this movie is going to be anywhere near as good as the original. It'll probably have a lot more attack scenes and a soundtrack, kind of like what they did with 28 Weeks Later. And I doubt that they will go into the whole pedofile subplot of the book.
