Let Me In

Let Me In Red Band Trailer

If you are like me, you always worry when you hear that there will be yet another US adaptation of an European or Asian movie. This was my exact feeling about the US adoration of the cult Swedish vampire movie Let The Right One In.

Worry no more, the scenes from the new movie, Let Me In are great, and the acting is incredible. Plus, it goes back to the original book for source material. Like the book and Swedish movie, it's set in the 1980s. And the new director Matt Reeves chose to locate it in the snowy winter of Los Alamos, New Mexico. On the Let Me In panel at Comic-Con, Reeves said that he wanted the movie to be set against the backdrop of Reagan's Cold War America, where "evil," and "fighting evil," were part of the national discourse.

Priest

Priest - the movie looks more exciting up, with its vampires and warrior. At San Diego Comic Con 2010, Stewart and Tartakovsky presented an amazing animated prologue for the movie Priest, as they wanted to use the animated sequence as a chance to explore the history of the Priest world, a universe where humans and vampires have been at war for centuries. In particular, Stewart jumped at the chance to portray this type of adult material via the traditional hand-drawn 2D animation that Tartakovsky specializes in. That would include blood and violence and vampires and war.

Stewart promises that the film will be a "really different take on vampire mythology," and that the project was the chance to create a world that was both unique yet familiar. It got us interested. We will all keep an eye on this one.
