UPDATE #2: Hoffman NOT in ‘Let Me In’, Remake Retitled to WHAT?!
UPDATE #1: Bloody Disgusting made a few phone calls and is sad to report that Philip Seymour Hoffman has NOT been cast in the remake. Rumor debunked. UPDATE #2: Production Weekly is reporting that filming begins first week of November in New Mexico and that the new title is officially Fish Head. Yeah, explain that one to me. Earlier today it was rumored that Philip Seymour Hoffman had been cast in Let Me In (now apparently “Fish Head”), Overture FIlms’ remake of Let the Right One In. Already on board as Kody Smit McPhee (The Road) who will play Owen (formerly Oskar), alongside Kick Ass‘ Chloe Moretz, who nabbed the part of Abby (formerly Eli). Let Me In is a direct adaptation of the book and not a direct remake of the Swedish movie. In the film Oskar, an overlooked and bullied boy, finds love and revenge through Eli, a beautiful but peculiar girl who turns out to be a vampire.

‘Home Bodies’ Image & Poster Introduce Isolated Twins in Sci-Fi Nightmare [Fantasia 2026]
Sci-fi thriller Home Bodies is set to unsettle audiences at the 30th edition of Fantasia, and our exclusive image introduces a peculiar pair of twins at the center.
Home Bodies makes its World Premiere July 23, at 9:30 PM at Cinéma du Musée in Montreal, with the filmmakers and cast in attendance.
An eerie new poster created by Justin Erickson of Phantom City Creative heralds the film’s premiere.
In the film, “Red and Blue, twins raised in total isolation by an automated house, live according to the rules set by Papa, a disembodied voice behind a locked door who provides food, shelter, entertainment, and order. Their carefully controlled world is disrupted by the arrival of Pal, an enigmatic humanoid stranger whose presence begins to fracture the only life the twins have ever known.”
It’s a premise that calls another Canadian creeper to mind and has us intrigued: Pin.
Emma Ho, Ian Ho, and Ess Hödlmoser star.
Home Bodies is directed and produced by Casey Walker, who returns to Fantasia more than a decade after his horror-comedy A Little Bit Zombie screened at the festival in 2012. He’s since gone on to produce a number of defining Canadian genre films like In a Violent Nature, The Void, and Pyewacket.
“I started my career in Montreal and Fantasia has been part of my life ever since,” said Walker. “I couldn’t be more thrilled to return to where it all started and share Home Bodies on such a special anniversary of the festival.“
Karen Harnisch (Infinity Pool, Sleeping Giant) also produces. Executive producers are Todd Brown (The Raid, Mandy) and Chad Archibald (undertone).
