"Let me in " Vampire flick to shoot in New Mexico

The production pipeline seems to be loosening up in New Mexico, with another film coming to Albuquerque Studios. That follows the announcement late last week of two films and a television production coming here to film.

“Let Me In” is based on the cult hit, “Let the Right One In,” made in Sweden. It’s a contemporary vampire tale about a bullied young boy who befriends a girl new to his neighborhood. The cast includes Kodi Smit-McPhee, Chloe Moretz and Richard Jenkins, who was nominated for an Academy Award for his role in “The Visitor” and starred as the deceased father who reappears in his sons’ lives in the HBO series, “Six Feet Under.”

The production will shoot at the studios, as well as on location in Albuquerque, Los Alamos and Red River, from November through January. Approximately 620 New Mexicans could be hired, including 120 crew and about 500 extras and other cast members.
