Still unsure about Matt Reeves remaking Let the Right One In? Maybe a spot of bloody murder will convince you, thanks to a new clip which showcases a shifty Richard Jenkins.

Taking a leaf out of Zodiac's book, it sees a young guy getting bumped off in a car - it's a long way from stringing people up in the woods and spilling their blood on the snow, but it certainly has its own chilling charm.

Made under the watchful eyes of Hammer Films, the remake of Tomas Alfredson's beautiful piece of Swedish perfection is certainly dividing audiences. And that's an understatement. But with a cast that includes Chloe Moretz and Kodi Smitt-McPhee, I'm honestly excited about this. Despite the fact that I'm also completely against it. I hate being torn between the two - I blame the hormones.

Let Me In is released on Friday 5th November. Check out the trailer over here or read on for the new video. We've even thrown in the new pictures too. Do they change your mind? It may be pointless, but it might also be really, really good. I'm going for the latter.

It's been a while since we heard about the carefully assembled cast for the remake of Fright Night, but finally here's a look at one of them - none other than David Tennant. And he couldn't look less like Dr Who if he tried.

Sporting a Jack Sparrow-like mix of eyeliner, facial hair and a massive wig, Tennant plays Peter Vincent, the part originally played by Roddy McDowall. Shifting things a bit from the 1985 cult comedy-horror, Craig Gillespie's update relocates the action from boring suburbia to the bright lights of Las Vegas - a setting which suits Tennant's Vincent, originally an ageing host for the titular TV show, now re-imagined as a stageshow magician.

Incorporating horror movies into his act, Vincent is approached for help by scared youngster Charley (Anton Yelchin), who believes that his neighbour (Colin Farrell) is a vampire. That promising trio are supported by a cast that includes Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Toni Collette, Dave Franco, and Imogen Poots.

While the basic plot has stayed the same, Marti Noxon's script is clearly aiming for something other than the dry humour of McDowall's Vincent. Expect some crazy effects, over-the-top showmanship and a chance for David Tennant to really let rip outside of the TARDIS.

The image appeared online thanks to Shock Till You Drop, who snapped the banners at a Hard Rock Cafe where filming took place. Read on for a big sexy version.

John Woo is currently focussing on Flying Tigers, his 1940 aerial epic about fighter pilot Claire Le Chennault, who taught the Chinese to fly before they took on the Japanese in WWII. But while he targets Liam Neeson for the lead role in his $90m IMAX blockbuster, the director is also looking at doing something even more dramatic: remaking his own movie The Killer, and Le Samourai.

Talking to Variety, Woo detailed his plans to rework his 1989 action movie The Killer, which sees Chow Yun-Fat as an assassin who accidentally damages a female singer's eyes. Having a sudden pang of conscience, he decides to take one last job to help fund the expensive operation to save her eyesight. As the couple begin to fall in love, a police detective starts chasing down the assassin - and the two soon become friends.

Cementing Woo's status outside of his own country, The Killer not only helped the helmer make the jump to Hollywood (and, eventually, Face/Off) but influenced later action directors like Tarantino and Johnnie To. It also featured fun nicknames like "Mickey Mouse" and "Dumbo" for those of the subtitled persuasion. With its over-the-top action, use of white pigeons and wonderfully bloody violence, The Killer is pretty much perfect the way it is. Remaking it is kind of pointless.

But even worse than that is to plan a remake of Le Samourai. Jean-Pierre Melville's 1967 classic (nay, masterpiece) is a work that should never be touched by anyone, Face/Off or otherwise. The tale of solitary hitman Jef Costello has such style and beauty that to even think of remaking it is a crime against cinema. A blend of samurai, gangster and noir traditions, Melville's philosophical thriller is one of the most influential movies in the genre. The Killer was actually Woo's tribute to it in many ways. Although Le Samourai has something Woo's movie never did: Alain Delon wearing the sexiest hat in the world.

Woo also spoke to Variety about his desire to make a musical (he almost directed Phantom of the Opera), his thoughts about a Kurosawa homage, and his aim to not retire anytime soon. Given the mojo he got back from making Red Cliff, that's no bad thing.

It honestly is great that a legend such as The Woo is still making new movies. But if he goes near Le Samourai, I'll blast the guy through a wall with his own shotgun. In slow-motion. And then throw a pigeon at him. 

When Warner Bros booked next February up for production on their Clash of the Titans sequel, rumour had it that Jonathan Liebesman was on the studio's shortlist for possible directors. Now it's official: Liebesman will be making sure Titans Will Clash once again for the (over-)paying public.

Ever since that pinnacle of modern cinema dazzled the world with its lazy post-conversion 3D and epic crapness, Warner Bros have been desperate to make a sequel. Box office takings of $491 million tend to have that effect. But when Louis Leterrier dropped out - happy to stop work after ruining the 1981 original - the studio started hunting for a replacement.

Liebesman will be heading to the project fresh from Battle: Los Angeles, the alien invasion flick that impressed the world (as well as Warners) at Comic-Con. The Black Hawk Down-style visuals, coupled with the intense visual effects, convinced execs that he was up to the task of helming a Titans follow up.

Sam Worthington and Gemma Arterton are expected to return to the franchise's second outing, which is already being scibbled by Greg Berlanti, Dan Mazeau and David Leslie Johnson.

The good news? It will definitely be shot in 3D. Because that makes us all feel better about the whole thing.

We all remember the day when Russell Crowe flipped and decided to break his wife out of prison. We also all remember the day that Paul Haggis gave him a movie in which he could use that experience. Now, prepare for a new day to remember: the day when the poster for that film, The Next Three Days, appeared online.

The remake of Pour Elle, which stars Crowe and Liam Neeson alongside the incarcerated Elizabeth Banks, sees mild-mannered husband John Brennan take drastic measures to free his wife (convicted for a crime she didn't commit) after all the boring legal options fail. It's a serious movie about a serious man. Who doesn't know where to put the bullets in a gun. Bless him.

Now we have a first look at the marketing for this thriller. And it's, well, odd. Staying away from the usual head shots and big red letters, the patchwork picture looks closer to an investigations board out of CSI. Verbal Kint would love it. I rather like it too.

The Next Three Days hits UK cinemas in February 2011. You can check out the trailer online over here, but before that you should read on for the full poster. A prize* goes to the first person to say "OMG - is that Russell Crowe's face?"

Following his happy reaction to Piranha 3D's box office performance and plans for a sequel, producer Mark Canton has found himself in bloody waters. Not due to killer fish or Kelly Brook, but thanks to Pandora's chief 3D spokesman, James Cameron.

The Avatar director, who previously slammed Clash of the Titans and Alice in Wonderland for their sloppy post-conversion work, turned his powers of the dark side onto Piranha 3D during his Avatar press tour.

He told Vanity Fair: "It's exactly an example of what we should not be doing in 3D. Because it just cheapens the medium and reminds you of the bad 3D horror films from the '70s and '80s, like Friday The 13th 3D."

Outraged by Cameron's derogatory comments, Canton retorted by citing Piranha 3D's 82% Rotten Tomatoes rating and the fun experience audiences are having in the cinemas - including filmmakers such as JJ Abrams. 

"Mr. Cameron, who singles himself out to be a visionary of movie-making, seems to have a small vision regarding any motion pictures that are not his own," the producer wrote to journalists. "It is amazing that in the movie-making process - which is certainly a team sport - Cameron consistently celebrates himself as though he is a team of one."

Cameron, who started his career with a brief directorial stint on 1981's Piranha Part 2: The Spawning, reiterated his belief in the current "renaissance" of 3D cinema. Referring to both Disney's Tron and Martin Scorsese's 3D project, he dismissed Piranha 3D as "bottom of the barrel".

Canton concluded by describing Cameron's comments as "ridiculous, self-serving and insulting to those of us who are not caught up in serving his ego and his rhetoric."

Avatar (Special Edition) was re-released in UK cinemas in 3D last week and contains eight additional minutes of new footage.

Trailers/Clips

After showing the world what she could do with a golf club, a motorbike and a laptop, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has returned. But unlike her first cinema outing, expectations are higher. Also unlike last time, both the writing and direction have changed hands. Although that's not always a bad thing, you can certainly tell. 

Remember when we described The Karate Kid as "basically Kung Fu Panda. But done in real life. With a black kid"? Well, guess what: The Karate Kid sequel has got itself some writers. The people who wrote Kung Fu Panda.

Cyrus Voris and Ethan Reiff are the two men who scribbled the script for Jack Black's fun animation, and are ready to use their mad fighting skills for Sony's sequel.

It's no surprise that we're getting another outing for Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan, who will both presumably reprise their roles from the first. Harold Zwart's remake of the classic family film has made somewhere around $300m, which is earning it the description of "surprise summer hit", although it's hardly that shocking.

There's no word yet on where the sequel will be set. But after moving the action to China for Jaden Smith to learn kung fu, the expectation is for the franchise to go back to the US. Where Will Smith's son will presumably learn streetdance.

Voris and Reiff also wrote that script for Ridley Scott's Robin Hood - the original draft called "Nottingham", which Russell Crowe didn't like. They've also given us TV's Sleeper Cell. But let's face it: if they can make a panda and a monkey do martial arts, they should definitely be allowed to write more scripts.

He plays the guitar, he rides bikes inside computers, but if anyone doubted the manliness of Jeff Bridges, this first look at the Coen Brothers' True Grit will put them in their place.

A remake of Henry Hathaway's 1969 Western, the Coens have reunited with their Lebowski star to give us a darker version of Charles Portis' original novel. Casting Jeff Bridges in place of John Wayne was a great first step - he plays Marshall Reuben ("Rooster") Cogburn, who travels with 14 year old Mattie Ross (newcomer Hailee Steinfeld) to get revenge for her father's murder.

With a decent share of facial hair, hats and bleak Arkansas landscapes, the Coens look to be following No Country for Old Men's Oscar-winning style, with Bridges bringing us more alcohol and anger than John Wayne. Especially when it comes to bumping off Josh Brolin, who plays lead bad guy Tom Chaney.

The exclusive first look debuted over at Empire - read on for a bigger look at Jeff's weathered face. The Dude in a hat? What's not to like?

Rooney Mara has been cast as Lisbeth Salander in the upcoming remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

David Fincher, who is directing the remake for Sony Pictures, has been hunting for a female to play the enigmatic computer hacker for several months. Names such as Ellen Page, Carey Mulligan and Natalie Portman were tossed around, but Fincher's search for a relative newcomer has now ended, Sony announced today.

Mara recently starred in the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street, but also appeared in Youth in Revolt. She joins Daniel Craig, who will play the role of Mikael Blomkvist, the dogged journalist who is hired to investigate the mysterious fate of Harriet Vanger - a young girl who disappeared years ago.

Scripted by Steve Zaillian, the remake of the recent Swedish movie (adapted from Stieg Larsson's phenomenal Millennium Trilogy) continues to be both pointless and exciting - while Mara had nothing much to do in Nightmare on Elm Street, other than look pale and sleepy, Fincher isn't one to skimp in the talent department. Plus she needs to have some sexual tension with Daniel Craig.

The second Swedish movie based on the novels, The Girl who Played with Fire, is on its way to UK cinemas in two weeks. Lisbeth Salander's English language outing is set for release in December 2011. David Fincher's next project is The Social Network, which will also feature Rooney Mara. That's out over here on Friday 15th October.
