Hammer Films and Spitfire Pictures plan to remake Tomas Alfredson’s Swedish feature “Lat den ratte komma in” says Variety.
Spitfire will produce the remake, and set a writer shortly to pen an English-language version that will play under the translated title of “Let the Right One In”.
The story is a contemporary vampire tale about a 12-year-old boy who befriends a young female neighbor who moves to town.
The film won the feature prize at the Tribeca Film Festival last week.
