Nobody wants to call it a “remake,” but if it walks like the original source material and quacks like the original source material… Matt Reeves ( Cloverfield ), who handily re-imagined John Ajvide Lindqvist’s novel Let the Right One In into the 2010 film Let Me In , is writing and will direct a script based on Ray Nelson’s short story 8 O’C lock in the Morning , which was previously adapted into John Carpenter’s 1988 horror comedy They Live . Reeves’ version, it’s noted, will not feature alien-spotting sunglasses and probably won’t star “Rowdy” Roddy Piper. See, totally different! [ Deadline ]
