‘Let the Right One In’ remake still called ‘Let the Right One In’
Last week, we, along with most news sites on the web, announced that the Matt Reeves-directed remake of ‘Let the Right One In’ would be going through a name change, and that the new film would be titled ‘Let Me In’. Well, as much as I hate to say it, we were all wrong.
Bloody Disgusting looked into the film titled ‘Let Me In’, and, apparently, it is not the remake to ‘Let the Right One In’. They checked with Overture Films who informed them that not only is the script still being worked on but the film will, in fact, be titled ‘Let the Right One In’. Also, the news that the remake would begin shooting in May was false, as well. As Overture puts it, it would be ridiculous to shoot a Winter movie in May. Production on the remake has not been scheduled yet.
That brings up a new question. What is ‘Let Me In’? I guess we can chalk this one up as a victory for fans of the original film, although victory is such a relative term when you’re discussing remakes in general.

- What Exactly is the ‘Let the Right One In’ Remake Called? - We Are Movie Geeks - [...] and that the remake would be called ‘Let Me In.’Â Then, shortly after that time, news came out that ...
“Let Me In” was the title of the original English-translated American release of the book “Let The Right One In.”
It would not surprise me if Overture originally thought that adopting the alternative title would help separate the remake from the original but changed their tune once the internets screamed in disapproval.
Well this is semi-good news. Better news would be not to release a remake.
