New red band 'Let Me In' trailer arrives online

Here is a red band trailer for Matt Reeves' upcoming remake "Let Me In." The preview is not filled with new footage, but it's a bit more brutal than the previous trailer. So check it out below and enjoy...

The horror flick stars Kodi Smit-McPhee, Chloe Moretz and Richard Jenkins. Tomas Alfredson directed the original, which received worldwide critical acclaim. Let's hope this one does it justice.

I hear this version is incredibly close to the original, and I guess that's a good sign. It would be nice to watch a remake that kind of stays true to its source flick, right? "Let Me In" hits theaters Oct. 1, 2010.

New poster and trailer for 'Let Me In"

The American remake of "Let the Right One In" is hitting theaters Oct. 1, 2010, and a new poster has been released on the Web, in addition to the trailer that premiered last week. See both of them below.

The poster is kind of mysterious, even though I admit they could've improved the top part of it. Something about the size and font of the Matt Reeves and "Cloverfield" writings just seems off. Not a good fit.

Other than that, I definitely like it. The trailer below also looks pretty good, although I'm sure the remake won't fully live up to the original. BUT... there's always a chance it will turn out solid enough, right?

The film is set for release Aug. 13, 2010, and the first trailer has landed online. Check it out after the jump, and enjoy what looks to be a film driven by its superb cast. James Franco, Viola Davis, Javier Bardem, Richard Jenkins and Billy Crudup co-star. Do I really need to say more?

Of course, the story follows a married woman who sets out to discover herself after realizing the life she's leading is not really the life she wants. I have not read the book, so this trailer gives me a first look at what exactly Roberts' character is up to. Looks like a traditional quest story, even though I admit I feel the film could be quite enjoyable. Let's not forget Ryan Murphy, creator of "Nip/Tuck" and "Glee," helmed it.
