The genius of the original Fright Night is that it takes a young boy, shows him brutal murder, and makes him sound crazy to everyone around him. Isolation is a great key to fear. So is Christopher Sarandon.

Unfortunately, since he’s not available, Deadline is reporting that Colin Farrell is looking to take the role that once belonged to Sarandon for the remake of Fright Night.

This is one of those rare movies that’s both good and seems perfectly remakeable.

Alongside Ferrell’s creepy, coffin-owning next door neighbor, Anton Yelchin is set to play the young horror geek who suspects him of being a vampire. Toni Collette has also been cast in an unnamed role, but my best guess would be as Yelchin’s mother.

Of course, this whole movie is coming together in the weirdest way. What happens when you take a director who has only directed Lars and the Real Girl and Mr. Woodcock, team him with a recovering Irishman and a member of the Enterprise for a second go at a mildly well-known vampire flick from the 80s?

The bigger question is whether the make-up department can keep the rubber Huge Gaping Mouth Full of Teeth down to a sustainable level this time.

The original is a classic, I agree, no remake needed.

Collin Farrell???

 

[urascal]

Not another remake? Sounds like they're running out of Ideas. Leave the classics alone.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

Not interested in the least. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the original and nothing for a remake to significantly improve on. Have people become incapable of enjoying films that were made more than 15-20 years ago that they need new versions of them all?

 

[Shai]

One of my top ten favorite movie of all time.Doesnt need a remake.Absolutely not.

 

[galactiboy]

Laaaaame...

 

[Anzik]

why don't they remake the BAD movies and try and make them good?

running out?

 

[Bullseye]

Good to see him back in mainstream films. Been in the indie sceen the past few years.

I wouldn't mind a remake, but yeah this doesn't sound too promising. The sequel isn't too bad either because Julie Carmen is hot as frak.

~~Also, I"m willing to bet there's going to be 3D added to it.

Quit making sense, you sound ____ing crazy.

Farrell isn't a bad choice, why the hate? He's a good actor. Just watch 'In Bruges' or his small role in 'Crazy Heart' and you'll see.

 

[Kuzeh]

But this is "Fright Night"... and he's playing the Vampire......

 

[The ill Jedi]

Good to see him back in mainstream films. Been in the indie sceen the past few years.

I thought he was great in 'In Bruges'.

 

[Bullseye]

He seems to get alot of hate in the press in the US for some reason. I have enjoyed alot of his performances in the likes of Tigerland, Phonebooth, Minority Report, In Bruges etc.

 

[King Darkness]

The words..... "big kahkah" come to mind.

 

[OSCORP]

Chris S. had a sexy swagger to him that's needed and was great for the character. Collin F. WILL NEVER HAVE THAT.


Just more proof that they can't think of anything original anymore.

 

[The Ween]

The words..... "big kahkah" come to mind.

He always looks like he needs a bath.

I've seen his sex tape too.

I think people still have this movie burned into their minds.
