Swedish vampire tale 'Let Me In' to film in NM

That's great but here's my question...are they actually hiring local crew members or the ones that like to come here and claim to be residents taking our local's jobs and then packing up and going home when it's all over. I see reports on what films and T.V. shows are filming in NM but no one reports on all the out of staters stealing our jobs but claiming to be residents so they all get the tax breaks and such.

AWESOME!!!! It's been so long since anyone's made a vampire movie.

it ANOTHER remake people - the original was beautiful (was at The Guild last year) and shouldn't be Americanized - boo Hollywood!

lol nice

How much did billy boy have to give away to get them to film here?

Typical governor Richardson BS, it takes him to make this announcement? Is he the governor or is he in charge of film and art development for the state. With his huge tax benefits for the film industry why would they make it anywhere else? You would think he had much more important stuff to be worried about.

The next movie to be filmed in Santa Fe is......(drumroll) The Grinch that stole New Mexico Taxpayers Money-starring B. Richardson as the Grinch.(fadeout)

I'm sure Richardson can relate to a vampire movie being he and his cronies are sucking New Mexico dry.

funny that the OUTGOING mayor and the governor feel that they have to announce any little thing that they fell will make themselves look better. In others states, the politicians do not really make these statements. No one told us what movies were being filmed in Cali.

It shows how selfcentered these two are that they have to make every little announcement. "Jeff gordon's semi, that hauls his racecar, will drive through New Mexico today. However it will not stop on it's way back from Las Vegas."

the book and original movie, Let the Right One In, is worthy of checking out.

I hope Hollywood doesn't screw this one up, but I can already tell that by picking NM (and assumedly chosing a desert locale to tell the story) we are in for a real shitt-eating-rancid-anal-gland -festival of poo.

I agree that it is pathetic, yet I do not see how it is funny. Am I missing the joke?

Just think how tempting Bill's neck would be to a vampire!

In Sweden they are making a film about a foreign governor that is disconnected from his constituents. Has a food bill that most families could not afford. Runs around the world as if he mattered, use your wide-angle lens for photos. Hires friends and political payoffs for 6 figure salaries in created positions. Spends time on the phone trying to cover his tracks from his corrupt past and doing all this while propped up in a public position, heading a state that is in financial ruin.

Send this caravan of gypsies down to "Las Cruces."....at least we, as New Mexicans, will have a vampire's chance to save our glorious state....

Vampires don't have to worry about cholersterol? I think any vampire that tried to bite something that fat-ridden would keel over and die of a heart attack.

Wow, Topix Moderates the word S.U.C.K.

Hey, "Let Me In" is the name of an old Jefferson Airplane song, the first one in fact, when it was Tolle Anderson who was the lead singer before Grace Slick's time. Speaking of vampires, do you know why women find them so fascinating? Well, the legend has been cleaned up for the shriveled-sphincter set. Vampires didn't need to bite women, they just went to women who were menstruating at the time- thus their popularity amongst women.

Maybe the first time, just purely based on body displacement, but after that first bite, when the vampire got a contact inebriation by drinking Bill Richardson's alcohol-saturated blood, it wouldn't EVER come back for a second bite! He/she wouldn't want to be Flying While Intoxicated.
