How it COULD Have Been...

Post by DavidZahir » Sat Aug 13, 2011 3:32 pm

When Matt Reeves was approached about doing an American version of Let The Right One In, he says the studio types initially talked about increasing the age of the lead characters. He said that was a bad idea and they backed down. But what if they'd approached a different writer/director, one not so in tune with the story's heart? Just how mind-bogglingly bad could it have turned out? Well....

If that had been the cover of the movie, I would have avoided it like the plague. It looks like a really bad vampire parody!

I would have watched this version only to see this Bieber kid being bullied.

From the looks in their eyes and their facial expressions, it looks to me like "he'll keep her safe" because what's really on his mind is what's open at that hour that might have a "family planning" section.

Ah creepy. At least they look happy together. I would have liked if David Lynch had directed the remake. That would have been interesting.

I don't understand all these negative opinions here . Who knows ? It could have been a nice musical.

Just listen to some Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana. All will become clear, dreadfully dreadfully clear.
