Overture Films announced today that production had begun on Let Me In, director Matt Reeves’ (Cloverfield) highly anticipated remake of the  2008 Swedish vampire film Let the Right One In. The film is being shot in New Mexico and stars Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Road) and Chloe Moretz (500 Days of Summer) in the lead roles. Simon Oakes, President and CEO of Hammer Films, says:

This project is very personal to Matt as it is to the many passionate fans of the original story. The brilliance of that story deserves to be seen by audiences on a wide scale and we are excited that the pieces are in place to make that a reality.

Let the Right One In is based on the best selling Swedish novel Lat den Ratte Komma.
