Afm '09: First Look at 'And Soon the Darkness' Remake
22 hours ago | bloody-disgusting.com | See recent Bloody-Disgusting.com news »
Another film we caught a promo trailer for was And Soon The Darkness, a really stylish film from director Marcos Efron that features two of the hottest babes in horror, Amber Heard (Mandy Lane, Zombieland, The Stepfather) and Odette Yustman (Cloverfield, The Unborn). Set in Argentina, the remake tells the story of two American girls on a bike-riding trip in a remote part of the country. When one of them goes missing, the other must find her before darkness falls and her worst fears are realized. The original was set in France and tackled the idea of how vulnerable a stranger in a strange land can be. Adriana Barraza and Karl Urban also star. Check out new details and first stills below! »
First Image from the Set of Let Me In
6 November 2009 5:10 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
The first image from the set of Matt Reeves' Let The Right One In remake, now titled after the book that film was based upon, Let Me In, has slipped online in the form of a Twitpic that signifies the end of the first week of filming.
Reeves (Cloverfield) and young stars Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Road) and Chloe Moretz ((500) Days of Summer) were among those on-set as filming commenced on the Hammer Films production at Albuquerque Studios. Filming will also take place in various other locations in New Mexico before returning to Albuquerque to wrap in January.
In the haunting and provocative Let Me In, an alienated 12-year-old boy (Smit-McPhee) befriends a mysterious young newcomer (Moretz) in his small New Mexico town and discovers an unconventional path to adulthood. The film is based on the bestselling vampire novel by Swedish author John Ajvide Lindqvist and is an English-language remake »

J.J. Abrams Is Secretly Radiating Someone
5 November 2009 3:16 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
J.J. Abrams has a sci-fi project in development. No, not Star Trek 2. Or that other movie you're thinking of. Or the other. Yes, there's yet another sci-fi project with Abrams' name on it, and as usual, he's trying to keep it top secret. Pajiba got word of 500 Rads, a project that's budgeted at $25 million, being set up in Europe, and will probably be in the vein of Cloverfield and 28 Days Later. Which means it could be anything, really. Jeff Pinkner, a veteran writer from Abrams TV shows like Alias and Lost, started work on a script, but some other people are apparently jumping in to finish it up. Oh, and "rads" probably refers to "absorbed radiation dose," which Pajiba predicts might mean that there are zombie-type creatures lurking in this film somewhere. We can probably assume that Abrams isn't directing, given the zillion other projects he's got going on, »
J.J. Abrams to Produce Hasbro’s Micronauts Movie
5 November 2009 1:12 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
The Wall Street Journal (via Coming Soon) is reporting today that J.J. Abrams, whom you may know as the director of Star Trek and producer of Lost, is in talks to produce a movie about the Japanese interchangable toys Micronauts -- 3.75-inch tall toys which were used in an inter-connected design. The rights to the project were acquired by Hasbro, who will base the film on the Micronauts comic series published by Marvel Comics, Image Comics and Devil's Due Publishing. The series was first published in 1979. In a curious quote, J.J. Abrams speaks about those who doubt whether a board game or science fiction toy should be accorded star status: "Sometimes, when someone is not a celebrity and you are casting them in a role, everyone who is in a seat of authority voices questions about that actor's talent, sex appeal, looks, ability -- their everything," he says. "But then they get the role, and »

J.J. Abrams’ Next Secret Project: 500 Rads
5 November 2009 10:34 AM, PST | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
In the summer of 2007, we started to hear whispers of a monster movie under the producer wing of “Lost” and “Alias” creator J.J. Abrams. After months of speculation and cryptic viral marketing, Cloverfield stormed theaters and wreaked havoc on New York City.
Now there is a report from Pajiba about another secret project in development at Abrams’ Bad Robot label. It’s called 500 Rads. Well, for now. I wouldn’t put it past him to create this under a pseudonym and stage a big reveal leading up to its release.
A rad is a radiation absorption dose, which suggests a nuclear disaster movie of some sort. As we all know from watching too many movies, radiation brings mutants and sometimes… wait for it… zombies. The article likens the new Abrams concept to Cloverfield and 28 Days Later.
Abrams is making this on a relatively small budget ($25 million) and planning a European location, »

What Is J.J. Abrams’ ‘500 Rads?’
5 November 2009 9:04 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Remember when word of a mysterious project called Cloverfield first surfaced? Before we knew it, we were getting a movie about a mostly unseen giant monster causing chaos in New York. Well, it seems that J.J. Abrams might be bringing us something in the same top-secret vein with a project that is being referred to as 500 Rads.
The guys over at Pajiba (thanks to /Film for pointing us to this) have an inside source (who they’re keeping nameless, for good reason) that has given some details on 500 Rads, a project that Abrams and his production company, Bad Robot, are apparently developing in secret.
So what’s it all about? Well, the little info we’ve got beyond the title tells us that it’s in the same vein as Cloverfield and 28 Days Later. Pajiba helpfully points out that a “rad” is an “absorbed radiation dose.” The guys over at »

J.J. Abrams’ Next Mystery Project: 500 Rads
5 November 2009 9:04 AM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
Looks like the rumour mill is starting up again for another under the radar J.J. Abrams movie that is slowly being developed in secrecy -- just like Cloverfield was a couple of years ago. The folks over at Pajiba [1] recently got word from an inside source that Abrams and his Bad Robot production company are working on a new project called 500 Rads, and while they don't know exactly what it's about, they do have a few intriguing ideas. The term "rads" refers to an "absorbed radiation dose", and since the movie is being described as having similarities to both Cloverfield and 28 Days Later, they are speculating that it could be a zombie, viral plague or nuclear post-apocalyptic scenario of some sort. Lost, Alias and Fringe writer Jeff Pinkner has reportedly been the man working on the script thus far. The movie is budgeted at $25 million and will shoot somewhere in »

J.J. Abrams Plotting a Secret Movie; Should Be ‘Rad’
4 November 2009 9:40 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
If we never see the fine folks from Pajiba again, we now know why. They are reporting today on a film project so secretive, it threatens their very lives to even whisper its name. Fortunately for the rest of the world -- those of us with inquiring minds -- they spoke its name, 500 Rads. It is the latest project from J.J. Abrams and his production company, Bad Robot. An inside source has said that Rads, which is currently in script stages, is yet another Cloverfield style production. Abrams is setting it up on the cheap -- budgeting $25 million. He's keeping it out of the way -- with a low profile European shoot. And he's not talking about it, at all (at least not yet). According to the source, Fringe and Lost writing staff member Jeff Pinker was originally working on the script, but has now returned to work on Fringe. That »

J.J. Abrams' Next New Super Top Secret Project: 500 Rads?
4 November 2009 2:16 PM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Can you remember back to July 3rd, 2007? You were probably sitting in a theater, and some random trailer started playing that had footage from a surprise birthday party for some guy named Rob. That was the start of Cloverfield. They hadn't even shot any real footage, it was a super secret project, and that first trailer captured everyone's interest. Jump ahead a few years and now J.J. Abrams is done with Star Trek. We don't yet know if he's directing the sequel and his go-to guys from Cloverfield (Matt Reeves, Drew Goddard) are both off doing other projects. So could he be working on another secret project? One called 500 Rads? Pajiba (via SlashFilm) claims to have some information regarding this secret project. "J.J. Abrams and his production company, Bad Robot, are secretly developing a movie called 500 Rads." They go on to say the budget is supposedly around $25 ... »

‘Let Me In’ Begins Production, New Cast Names
4 November 2009 12:10 PM, PST | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
Production has officially begun on Matt Reeves’ Let Me In, an American remake of the Swedish horror hit Let the Right One In. Principal photography started Monday, November 2 in New Mexico and will continue into January.
Kodi Smith-McPhee (The Road) is starring as Owen and Chloe Moretz (Kick-Ass) is Abby, the mysterious neighbor. Richard Jenkins plays her guardian, the key adult role in the film.
They’re joined now by Elias Koteas as the policeman, Cara Buono as Owen’s mother, and Sasha Barrese as Virginia.
Reeves (Cloverfield) has assembled a decent cast, but I’m still skeptical. The original is an excellent vampire film and one of my favorite horror movies of the decade, so I’m naturally resisting any “new” version of the story.
CEO of Hammer Films Simon Oakes said, “The brilliance of [the original] story deserves to be seen by audiences on a wide scale and we are »

EW Questions Need for Let The Right One In Remake
3 November 2009 5:11 PM, PST | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »
Not a surprise, but so do I. Apparently, the powers that be are running low on 1980s slasher films to rip off, and are stretching their reach out to Europe to steal material and outright kick originality in the crotch. In EW's Popwatchers section today, Margaret Lyons holds out little hope for the remake of the critically lauded Let The Right One In, with its shift in location from the snowy desolation of Europe to the mesas of New Mexico and its change in title to Let Me In. And her picture of the new kids playing the roles (which I'll include below) can't help the validity of the project, even if she does compliment the choice of one of them.
As for my own thoughts, I've seen the original and thought it was something daring and new. But if Matt Reeves, he of Cloverfield, attempts to make this basically »

Vampire Remake 'Let Me In' Starts Shooting
3 November 2009 1:27 PM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
Plenty of people are miffed that Overture Films is even making a new version of Let the Right One In roughly a year after the Swedish film made a big impact on critics and arthouse crowds. Of course, the film didn't really register with mainstream audiences, so Overture picked up the rights to the novel and is giving it an English language once-over in hopes of attracting more than a few hundred thousand filled seats.
Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) is directing the near-immediate remake, now called Let Me In, and filming began on Monday in Albuquerque. That's one of the things I'm encouraged by with this update, actually. By moving it from the dead of winter to possibly another kind of desolation, Reeves invites a new kind of atmosphere to his film, and that can impact everything from cinematography to tone to character.
There's no guarantee of that, and since New »

'Let the Right One In' remake: Right? Or wrong?
3 November 2009 10:02 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
The American remake of Let the Right One In started production this week, which I knew because I felt a great disturbance in the force. I'm still not convinced the movie needs an American remake -- especially one renamed Let Me In, which is not the same -- but Richard Jenkins' presence (as the Håkan character) gives me a sliver of hope. A tiny, tiny sliver. I was wild about the original film, but I'm skeptical that an American version will tolerate the same level of silence, particularly at the hands of Cloverfield director Matt Reeves. Part of what »

Let Me In Starts Production

Let Me In, the American remake of the Swedish vampire flick Let the Right One In, starts production today, transporting the coming-of-age tale from the cold and blustery Stockholm, Sweden to the dry and hot Albuquerque, New Mexico. Director Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) is returning to the source material for Let the Right One In, the Swedish novel of the same name by author John Ajvide Lindqvist, to help inspire the story about a young boy (Kodi Smit-McPhee from The Road) who befriends a mysterious new girl in town (Chloe Moretz from the upcoming Kick-Ass), who happens to be a vampire.
With Richard Jenkins already cast as Moretz's caretaker, the new cast additions announced are Elias Koteas as the policeman, Cara Buono (The Sopranos) as Smit McPhee's mother, and Sasha Barrese (The Hangover) as Virginia, the character who survives a vampire attack in the Swedish original.
