Hollywood is remaking "Let The Right One In", to be called "Let Me In".
Why in God's name do they do it? The original was exquisitely perfect. It had subtlety and nuance, something Hollywood does not know the meaning of.
The remake is just going to have things exploding every five minutes. There will probably be a love interest involving Gwyneth Paltrow/Drew Barrymore/Jennifer Lopez/some other cheap skanky ho. There will probably also be a Compulsory Black Man doing Will Smith gags. Will there be Arnold Schwarzenegger one-liners? CGI will reign supreme.
I *guarantee* they will fuck up the ending (the bit in the swimming pool), which was one of the best movie endings ever. They will no doubt use industrial quantities of pig's blood to get the point across that it's a horror movie.
Aaaaarrrrrggggghhhh.......
