“If a remake is made, it’s because the original is bitter. Not mine”: This director criticizes Hollywood for remaking his film.

And the remake gallery is in vogue… 2009 saw the release of Morse, a rather brilliant horror film about the myth of the vampire, the Great Intelligence, directed by Swedish director Tomas Alfredsson.

Or the meeting of an introverted young boy martyred by his classmates with a girl his own age. The only problem: behind his angelic face, the young teenager is actually a logically bloodthirsty vampire. Poetic, melancholic and necessarily bloody, Morse is a horror film that has left its mark on its singularity. Guillermo del Toro also named it in his top five of the year.

As often, if not always, Hollywood followed suit and it didn’t take long for them to get their hands on the rights to remake this Swedish nugget directed by Matt Reeves. Originally, Alfredsson was offered the direction of this remake, which he turned down.

A remake called Let Me In will be released in 2010, starring Chloe Grace Moretz as the vampire. “If a remake is made, it’s because the original is bad. Not mine.” Alfredson quipped in an interview with Total Sci-Fi Online.

At the time, the announcement of the start of construction on the remake of his film stressed Alfredsson, as he confided a little later in an interview with the site The Playlist (and relayed IndieWire). “I haven’t seen the movie yet. I was very nervous when I first heard about the project because I was still promoting Morse myself.” Alfredson confided.

“So it was very fast, working years from the book is a very personal thing. This project is yours, you fight hard to keep it, and when you hear that your girlfriend is going to dance with someone else, it’s weird.”.
