Americans bought the rights for Swedish “Låt den rätte komma in” film in which Per Gessle’s song “Kvar i min bil” was used as one of the main themes. Now you can watch the American trailer on YouTube. If you are nostalgic and find Swedish version as better one (even though American version did not have its premiere), see this clip.

Considering the fact of the popularity of vampire movies the American version might become popular thought it won’t become a blockbuster. After just comparing the two trailers it’s easy to pinpoint the differences between the two. The Swedish one is more gloomy, more emotional and less commercial while the American one is set for more action.
The ‘american’ version looked pretty good so I’ll give it a chance. For casting wise, Kodi Smit-McPhee was great in The Road and I thought he suit for the ‘boy’ part. However, ‘the girl’ in Swedish version had more haunting looks than the american one, but this is based on the trailer only, who knows she might carry the movie alright.
If only Roxette was offered to make a new soundtrack to the remake…
