Guillermo del Toro isn’t the only one getting some vampire action today (or tonight, depending on where you live), as Cloverfield director Matt Reeves has signed on to write and direct the Hollywood remake of the acclaimed Swedish horror film Let the Right One in for Overture Films and Hammer Films.

The original was based on a novel by John Ajvide Lindqvist, following a bullied boy whose desire for revenge crosses paths with his growing love for a female neighbor who happens to be a vampire.

The film won the best narrative feature award at the Tribeca Film Festival and is scheduled for a limited theatrical run in the US starting October 24. The sanitized and completely ruined American remake is likely to hit the big-screen late next year.
