Early ‘Let the Right One In’ Casting News
In an interview with “The Herald-Sun“, young actor Kodi Smit Mc-Phee (Romulus, My Father, the upcoming The Road) revealed that he’s up for a role in Hammer Films and Overture’s remake of the Swedish vampire film Let the Right One In, currently titled Let Me In, reports Moviehole.net. Though the deal isn’t done yet, the actor says it’s looking good. Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) will get behind the camera for the film, inspired by the Swedish horror pic about a bullied 12-year-old boy who develops a friendship with a vampire child in Blackeberg, a suburb of Stockholm, in the early 1980s.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
