'Let Me In' Begins Production in New Mexico

New casting and location details announced on Matt Reeves' haunting thriller

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Nov. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Principal photography began today on
Let Me In, writer/director Matt Reeves' adaptation of Let the Right One In, in
Albuquerque, New Mexico. Reeves (Cloverfield) and young stars Kodi
Smit-McPhee (The Road) and Chloe Moretz ((500) Days of Summer) were among
those on-set as filming commenced on the Hammer Films production at
Albuquerque Studios. Filming will also take place in various other locations
in New Mexico before returning to Albuquerque to wrap in January.

In the haunting and provocative Let Me In, an alienated 12-year-old boy
(Smit-McPhee) befriends a mysterious young newcomer (Moretz) in his small New
Mexico town and discovers an unconventional path to adulthood. The film is
based on the bestselling vampire novel, Latden Ratte Komma In, by Swedish
author John Ajvide Lindqvist, and is an English-language remake of the highly
acclaimed Swedish film of the same name.

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.

"This project is very personal to Matt as it is to the many passionate fans of
the original story," said Simon Oakes, President and CEO of Hammer Films.
"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."

Updates to the cast list include Elias Koteas (Shutter Island) as the
policeman, Cara Buono ("The Sopranos") as Owen's mother and Sasha Barrese (The
Hangover) as "Virginia." It was previously announced that Smit-McPhee and
Moretz would play the leads "Owen" and "Abby" respectively and Oscar®-nominee
Richard Jenkins (The Visitor) would play the guardian of "Abby".

Hammer Films acquired the remake rights to Let the Right OneIn at the 2008
Tribeca Film Festival where the film took home the Founders Award® for Best
Narrative Feature. The production is scheduled for a 2010 release in the U.S.
by Overture Films. Exclusive Film Distribution is handling worldwide sales
and distribution of the film.

Producing the film are Hammer's Oakes, Guy East and Nigel Sinclair, along with
Oscar®-winner Donna Gigliotti (Shakespeare in Love). Hammer's Alex Brunner
and Tobin Armbrust will executive produce along with John Ptak, Philip Elway
and Fredrik Malmberg. Overture's Robert Kessel, EVP Production & Acquisitions,
will oversee production for the studio. Swedish producers John Nordling and
Carl Molinder, who produced the original film, are also involved as producers
on this remake.

Let Me In is the first film in a two-picture co-production, financing and
distribution agreement between Overture Films and Exclusive Media Group, the
parent company of Hammer Films and Spitfire Pictures.

ABOUT HAMMER

Hammer is the legendary British film brand, which was originally launched in
1934 and delivered a hugely successful run of films in the 1950s including
Gothic classics "Dracula" and "The Curse of Frankenstein" and Sci-Fi picture
"The Quatermass Xperiment." Hammer's reputation became branded worldwide as
'Hammer House of Horror.' In the 1960s Hammer struck distribution deals with
Universal, Warner Brothers, Fox and Columbia. Hammer went on to produce a huge
volume of films which included such titles as "The Plague of the Zombies,"
"The Nanny," "Quatermass and the Pit," "The Devil Rides Out" and "One Million

Hammer's return to horror was heralded by interactive web serial "Beyond the
Rave," which was broadcast by MySpace in 13 territories in 2008. Today, Hammer
has an active development slate totaling more than 25 projects across diverse
genres sourced out of both Europe and the United States. Hammer recently
wrapped production on "The Resident," which stars two-time Academy Award

and is directed by Antti Jokinen.
