Before we add fuel to the hype-fire, it has been pointed out many times now that the focus of the film is on the relationship between the two main characters. It isn’t an FX extravaganza with giant action sequences. So, hopefully that diffused some of the hype, but we’re still pretty excited to see the film regardless.

The limited theatrical release was just announced for Oct 29th. Magnet will distribute. In celebration of the theatrical announcement, here is a small collection of the coverage so far:

Plot

Six years ago NASA discovered the possibility of alien life within our solar system. A probe was launched to collect samples, but crashed upon re-entry over Central America. Soon after new life forms began to appear there and half of Mexico was quarantined as an “Infected Zone.”

Today, the American and Mexican military still struggle to contain “the creatures”… The story begins when a US journalist agrees to escort a shaken American tourist through the infected zone in Mexico to the safety of the US border.

/Film was in attendance for the comic con panel and had this to say-

I was extremely impressed with the footage they screened in Hall H. And if the scenes screened are any indication, this film might have award potential.

An enormous amount of controversy surrounded the original foreign film after it was declared ineligible for Oscar consideration. If the remake proves to be more impressive somehow, it might put the story back on track for consideration at this year’s Academy Awards.

Let Me In opens on Oct 1, 2010.
