That is correct. In the book, Eli is a boy who was castrated before being turned into a vampire.

Spoiler:
That's so ****ed up.

Apparently, if you don't mind then do, but the subtitles are wrong on the Region 1 release DVD and Blu Ray from Magnolia for this film and they are going to have to sort it out.

YouTube video lol

Yeah I recently found out about this and am kinda pissed, considering I already bought the Region 1 dvd. 😠

and you can't replace it for free. They are not replacing them, so if you want the original subtitles, you have to look for the Region 1 that says on the back with the subtitle options, theatrical. Along those lines.

Hopefully, here in England there will be no mistakes for the DVD release.

One of the main leads has been cast in the remake:

Young Aussie actror Kodi Smit Mc-Phee (THE ROAD) has joined the cast of the US remake of last year's acclaimed Swedish vampire flick says The Herald Sun via the Moviehole.net web site.

Remake....ffs...

They have some concept posters up already for it:

See they are going with the rubbish name Let Me In... oh and are 'going by the book and not the original film'. 🙄

Set in the snow covered mountains of a Ronald Regan-era Colorado, the Americanized adaptation is based not on the Alfredson film, but the original novel by John Ajvide Lindqvist. The character names have been changed to Owen and Abby (rather than Oskar and Eli), who will remain 12-year-olds despite gossip that the film might be teenized to take advantage of the success Twilight.

Didn't really like this all that much.

The premise was cool, and fresh, but the only scary thing about this whole movie was the creepy looking Aryan kid who was the main character.

I just listened to that video Janx, well some of it because I turned off out of boredom(so if he corrects himself near the end then bla), that man needs to go and read the book.

Also, why does some idiot always have to bring up 'child porn' when there is a naked shot of a child/teen? did he fail to grasp what that element of the story was...

No way I'm watching a bastardized remake of a deat-set classic artistic film.

Honestly, do you think the americans can create such an atmosphere?

It was set in Sweden - it should stay in Sweden.

This remake and Total Recall remake I could and never would watch - its a disgrace to the original film and the people who worked on it.

Probably has to do with him being an idiot.

Ha, yes, I did answer my own question there. 🙂

I can't see them finding such a good Eli either. The actress was brilliant.

Remake news:

Principal photography began yesterday on LET ME IN, writer/director Matt Reeves’ adaptation/remake, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. An alienated 12-year-old boy (Kodi Smit-McPhee) befriends a mysterious young newcomer (Chloe Moretz) in his small New Mexico town and discovers an unconventional path to adulthood. The film is based on the bestselling vampire novel, Lat den Ratte Komma In, by Swedish author John Ajvide Lindqvist, and is an English-language remake of the highly acclaimed Swedish film of the same name. The filmmakers note that while the new film will pay respect to the original Swedish version, they intend to forge a unique identity for LET ME IN, placing it firmly in an American context.

This movie was ok. Maybe I would have liked it more if I was more into vampire stuff. My gf on the other hand is into vampire stuff and loved this movie.

It wont be as good.

The remake trailer is out now, easy enough to find on the likes of youtube. It looks like a shot for shot remake.

I still say the name change is stupid.

Have to say I did'nt like this much, great atmosphere and very well made, but lacked something for me. Also, I found the whole "naked" thing confusing and am glad that it's been cleared up somewhat

Brilliant movie, one of my new faves.
