Three new cast members have joined the cast of Let Me In, the remake/adaptation of the Swedish film Let The Right One In.

Elias Koteas will play a policeman, Cara Buono is set to play as Owen's mother and Sasha Barrese is Virginia. The three new members join Kodi Smit-McPhee and Chloe Moretz.

An official press release points out, "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."

Although there are many people who are pessimistically opposed to the remake/adaptation, President and CEO of Hammer films had this to say, "This project is very personal to Matt as it is to the many passionate fans of the original story... The brilliance of that story deserves to be seen by audiences on a wide scale and we are excited that the pieces are in place to make that a reality."

Elias Koteas can be seen in the upcoming Martin Scorsese pic Shutter Island, which will be released in February 2010, while Cara Buono is most notably remembered as Keli Moltisanti from The Sopranos and Sasha Barrese played the fiance in the successful R-rated comedy, The Hangover.

Let Me In is set for release sometime in 2010.

For those select few who oppose the adaptation, it might be a good idea to boycott The Departed and chase Quentin Tarantino out of Hollywood with torches and pitchforks for his overt homages to other films. The question it raises, what makes a book ripe for adaptation but a film adaptation sacrilegious? If you have any comments, please feel free to add them below...
