Ooh, good point. And in all three movies, someone dies in the first act!
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Matt Reeves to genre fans: 'Let Me In'
He's probably best known as director of 'Cloverfield.' That has some fans worried he'll go flashy on a remake of 'Let the Right One In.' He makes the case for giving him a chance.
...
The casting alone should help quell fan trepidation that this is some sort of smash-and-grab adaptation. The central trio of characters — the boy, the girl and the man who takes care of her — are played by Kodi Smit-McPhee ("The Road"), Chloe Moretz ("Kick-Ass") and Richard Jenkins ("The Visitor").
Spoilery as to the basic premise of Let Me In / Let The Right One In.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I still see no reason the movie needs to be remade this soon after the original.
I know I'm fighting a losing battle on this issue.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Maybe the remake will be better than the original?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I'm not sure how wide a release the original got. Foreign language and all that.
I liked the original, and even after my anti-Death at a Funeral remake stance, I'm ok with a remake of LTROI.
