'Teen Wolf' Creator Sets Up Pilot 'Let The Right One In' at TNT
TNT has ordered a pilot based on the Swedish vampire novel Let The Right One In, written by John Ajvide Lindqvist, in development from Teen Wolf creator Jeff Davis.
The story follows a young boy who struggles to fit in at school. He befriends a vampire who appears to be a girl of about his age. A string of murders subsequently lead the authorities straight to the girl.
It was adapted into an award-winning Swedish film in 2008, before being remade in 2010 into English-language film Let Me In.
“Let the Right One In combines elements of horror, revenge thriller and adolescent romance into an unforgettable and truly unsettling tale,” said Sarah Aubrey, TNT’s executive vice president of original programming. “This novel is a watershed of rich storytelling, making it an abundant source from which Jeff, Marty, Becky and Simon will bring to life in this all-new adaptation.”
“TNT has amassed an incredible slate of programming and we are thrilled to extend our relationship with them. Their collaboration and shared enthusiasm for bringing Let the Right One In to the U.S. TV audience is incredibly exciting to all of us,” added Adelstein, executive producer and CEO of Tomorrow Studios.
