Let Me Out. Now, Motherf**kers

Here’s the new international trailer for Let Me In, the Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) remake of the wonderful, fantastic, haunting, eerie, perfect vampire flick, Let the Right One In. Keep in mind, too, that this is the international trailer, so it’s probably going to be slightly more nuanced and moody than the eventual American trailer.


Now, here is the trailer for the original movie, Let the Right One In.


Which trailer do you prefer? And if you said trailer number one, you’re reading the wrong site, son. Perez Hilton’s site is over here; don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out.

Does anyone know what the morse code is at the end of the first trailer?

YESSS! Sinestro loves remakes! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I'm guessing the morse code message was "This remake's fucking unnecessary."

Posted by: sars at July 1, 2010 9:39 AM

Hm.

Well, the first one certainly works well as a trailer in general. Maybe if we just forget that it's a remake everything will turn out beautifully.

Posted by: Justin at July 1, 2010 9:45 AM

Actually, it says "help". Which is about right. That soundtrack/score was pretty awful.

Posted by: sars at July 1, 2010 9:46 AM

Let The Right One In was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. Why must they remake it? Is reading subtitles that bloody difficult? Maybe the American version will be more explodey? Sigh.

Besides the epileptic style of the trailer that would make Paul Greengrass salivate, the movie itself doesn't look horrible. Which is just sad because that's how I judge many things now: This salad dressing? It's not horrible. This book? I don't hate it. Society is fucked.

Please don't send me over to that Perez person. I hear he's mean. And I like it here.

What is that music?

Posted by: Moe at July 1, 2010 9:54 AM

Kill it with fire.

You know, while I was watching Let the Right One In, I kept thinking, "This movie is amazing, but there's not enough dance-metal in the soundtrack and nowhere near enough won't-somebody-think-about-the-children speechifying. Also, it's so fucking quiet. I don't want to think about anything, and this is downright contemplative," so this really works for me.

Ugh.

I'm sorry, I was just channeling Matt Reeves, director of Cloverfield. Now I need to wash out my soul and take an ibuprofen. This is the more subdued, international trailer? Jesusfuck, they're raping my last year!

I think I'm getting old. I once enjoyed punk and lo-fi, and I no longer enjoy music that doesn't sound like music. I've lost interest in David Lynch because I can't enjoy a movie that doesn't have a plot. And now I can't even get in a proper uproar about a remake, even if it's a remake of a good movie, because a) I still have the original, and b) I enjoy the tiny child who said "cunt" in Kick Ass.

From here on out, it's all Geritol and flappy arm flab. Fuck.

PS - It should be noted I was more into this remake when I thought Drew Goddard was writing it. "Conversations with Dead People" is my favorite Buffy ep.

The Morse code is K I S S

Would like to know what it means too. Hmmm

Posted by: E at July 1, 2010 10:10 AM

The morse code says "Now with extra sparkles".

Posted by: admin at July 1, 2010 10:17 AM

I don't care about either movie! You're powerless, Rowles! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!

Posted by: Jay at July 1, 2010 10:22 AM

I don't like either trailer.

I've seen "Let The Right One In" twice, with different subtitles each time, which sucked, because now I really don't know what the characters were really saying.

Despite the crappy trailer, I think the American version looks very much like the original, which could be good.

Posted by: BWeaves at July 1, 2010 10:31 AM

of course!

the american movie would have to have more adults in it to fuck up the delicate balance of evil and innocence of the original. and to spell out what is wrong and what is right, which americans seem to need more than adequate placental waters and dental care.

just watching the trailer is gonna send me over to netflix to watch instantly. i can't remember being so deeply engrossed in a movie EVER, from the first frame of silent, falling snow to the last on the train. no way in hell i'll be sitting through a remake.

Posted by: angela at July 1, 2010 10:46 AM

Scully - I feel the exact same way. I'm pratically thrilled now if something is just adequate. If it isn't totally abysmal, I'm happy. It's like I've accepted that "bland" is the best I'm going to get, and "total shit" is the new average.

Posted by: ninetwenteetoo at July 1, 2010 10:48 AM

angela just imagine that snow-falling shot with "Killing in the Name" by Rage Against the Machine played over the top of it.

Be-a-utiful, right?

Here. Have a Kleenex.

Posted by: myjetski at July 1, 2010 11:36 AM

Wow.

The amount of unnecessary expository bullcrap alone in the remake trailer just hurts me.

Which is just sad because that's how I judge many things now: This salad dressing? It's not horrible. This book? I don't hate it.

Sad and true.

Posted by: twig at July 1, 2010 11:42 AM

I just threw up on my shoes. I was wearing sandals. Now I'm all upset. But not as upset as that trailer made me.

Posted by: MyySharona at July 1, 2010 11:56 AM

Wow, twig's alive!

Posted by: Jay at July 1, 2010 12:02 PM

So in the original, there were all these great little moments where things were left unsaid. When Oskar is visiting his dad, right? And the guy comes around and it's all awkward and it's not explained what's going on? Is the dad a drunk? Does he have a drug problem? Is this guy his lover that he left his wife for? It was a great, tense little moment.

You just KNOW that in the remake the kid is gonna be like "Why did you leave us for _____, Dad? Don't you love me? I'm going to run away and hang out with my friend who I think is a vampire because she told me that she needs blood to live! Do you get it now?"

I think this is how the entire movie will be, spelling everything out so that no mystery or grace is left in the details.

BASTARDS.

Posted by: eddie walker at July 1, 2010 12:11 PM

Reeves did it all for the nookie.

Posted by: sars at July 1, 2010 12:17 PM

I thought this was going to build more on the book than the first film did. This trailer makes it look exactly the same only less subtle and, well worse. Also, I'm not buying Hit Girl as Eli.

Posted by: Steph at July 1, 2010 12:20 PM

A lot of the scenes look similar, but the dialogue doesnt sound the same. Why is the dialogue so stupid in the remake? The adults have stupid lines and the two kids have new lamer lines too, or at least thats the way it sounds to me.

Posted by: bat at July 1, 2010 12:26 PM

Haha thanks MySharona, I just read your post, thats kind of what I was trying to say, its like the whole time everyone is screaming DO YOU GET IT NOW??????

Posted by: bat at July 1, 2010 12:29 PM

Sorry, I think that first trailer looks really interesting. And I'm not leaving.

The morse code says HELP ME

Posted by: tbd at July 1, 2010 12:34 PM

(Deep breath)
I can't tell you how much I object to this remake of what was a terrific film. OK -- maybe it's not a perfect film, and maybe with a few extra hundred thousand dollars the special effects might not have been so uncomfortably bad. And maybe there are a few bajillion americans who never would have A) bothered to see a SWEDISH movie (motherfuckers) or B) had an OPPORTUNITY to see some other than Twilight or The A-Team.
But... come on.
WHY do American movie producers have to get their dirty mitts into every successful international film? Do they really have no imagination anymore? I think, arguably, recent evidence shows us that there are really very few new ideas out there in Hollywoodland, and so they must steal from others.
I object.

Posted by: Tira at July 1, 2010 1:49 PM

While I thought the idea of a remake was fucking diptarded and absolutely unnecessary in the first place, the trailer doesn't look all that bad. I still don't get the dumb-ass name change though.

I'll see it.

...

And I'm taking a few of these fucking commenters with me.

Posted by: Skitz at July 1, 2010 2:07 PM

Oh, Skitz, I'ma gonna see it and I'ma gonna hate it, as is my right - nay, duty - as a Pajiban-American.

Posted by: myjetski at July 1, 2010 2:20 PM

Yeah, I loved the original, and I hate the idea of a remake (yes, I hate all remakes but I hate this one more than most), but, in the tradition of Scully, I have to say: it could be worse. I expected it to be much, much worse.

When the best thing you have to say about something is "it could be worse"....

Posted by: MM at July 1, 2010 2:26 PM

My biggest complaint is that they appear to show too much vampireness. Plus...I have no idea how they would do the pool scene from the original and make it anywhere near as cool.

Basically I think it sucks. I will probably see it though. So I can then bitch about how it sucks.

Posted by: DeistBrawler at July 1, 2010 2:28 PM

I dont hate it.
I'm already excited for this film thanks to the cast and while this trailer is marketing it too strongly as a pacy action thriller, it doesn't look terrible.

And as you all know, I have obsessively read and re-read the book and watched the original film.

SO yeah.
HAVE AT ME*ducks*

Posted by: Nadine at July 1, 2010 2:32 PM

There is very little dialogue in the original. Why, why, WHY is this being remade? Are subtitles so difficult?

Posted by: lucy at July 1, 2010 4:13 PM

About the best thing that can possibly said for the trailer is that it could have been a lot worse (ie, more emo/sparkly/etc). But I really don't see the point. "Just like the foreign version only shittier and in English" isn't much of a hook, as far as I'm concerned.

Posted by: Irving Washington at July 1, 2010 7:49 PM

It'll bring more awareness to the original at least.

Posted by: Mick J at July 1, 2010 7:57 PM

Um, it's a trailer. We know how much trailers mean: dick. That being said, the director of Cloverfield can blow me. I'm staying right here.

Posted by: Uriah Creep at July 1, 2010 10:35 PM

so the music was definitely terrible... but really the movie didn't look so bad. It's not gonna hold up to the original and the new title can go screw itself but I'm cautiously optimistic for the movie itself.

Posted by: Even Stevens at July 2, 2010 2:28 AM

So a while ago there was this movie that I kind of wanted to see until I saw the trailer, which offended me with its horribleness. I didn't see the movie for a couple of years after that, and in the end, it was actually a great movie. All's I'm saying is, usually a trailer is not cut together by anyone who was really involved in the making of a film. It's frequently not representative of the tone or quality of the movie itself.
I loved the original film of "Let The Right One In" and I quite liked the book. The new movie might be all right anyway. When you get right down to it, many movies (even really good ones) are remakes or re-interpretings of material that's already in existence. At least here we're remaking something that was good, and we're not just recycling something that was utter crap to begin with.
