We spoke w/ Demián Bichir about adapting vampire film 'Let The Right One In' for television.
From showrunner/writer/executive producer Andrew Hinderaker and inspired by the Swedish novel and film, the 10-episode Showtime drama series Let the Right One In follows Mark and his daughter Eleanor , who are keeping a terrifying secret from anyone they cross paths with.
DEMIÁN BICHIR: Yeah, I would say it’s the second. I’m not a big fan of remakes. I’m not a big fan of anything that has been done in the past. But I’m also a big fan of the classics. I’m also a big fan of re-exploring anything. That’s probably why we continue to stage Shakespeare, all the time. It’s all about knowing what the new approach would be. What makes this something worth watching? People like me, who are already a big fan of the original film, it all begins there.
There’s always been this unspoken taboo with children in vampire stories who get turned into vampires because they’ll never die. They’re trapped in the body of a child, even if they’re hundreds of years old. How hard is it for this man to see what’s happening to his daughter, knowing that she could live forever and that it’s slowly stripping away her humanity?
